However, the player is given the ability to group several damage teams with experts and more efficiently prioritize the tasks."

2. "There is no dedicated station depicting a radio room, simply a clipboard with the radio traffic. "
"The lack of a radio room station is a casualty of an aggressive schedule, and can in no way be construed as a showstopper. However, for a title that rightfully prides itself on bleeding edge graphics and ambiance, realistic animated crews and 3D environments, this is a small step back. If anything, I was hoping SH4 would include all the stations present in SH3, and possibly expand into new compartments. The radio room and captain’s quarters in SH3 had no real gameplay function but don’t discount the value they have on creating the mood while playing the game."

True, but I don't really mind because IMHO damage control and the radio room are 'just' eye candy. It would have been nice to have the radio room but gameplay won't suffer I guess.
