Things to look-out for there is, don't keep your crew at Battle Stations unless you have to. At Battle Stations, they do not rotate and sleep, and next thing you know, you have a crew of zombies. Another to look-out for is, do not shell-out to Windows for anything. When you shell-out, Windows releases the game's resources. The game is an old WinXP game, and expects to find all of its data streams at the same address, so when you come back to the game, Windows may or may not give the game its old assets back at the same addresses. That will result in a stuck CO2 meter, zombie crew, graphic anomalies, etc. The way to "cure" that (usually) is to Save the game, exit completely from the game (so that it releases all of its Windows resources), then re-load the game, and load the save you just made.
