Ummm teacher ? You forgot the part about not forgetting to setp down from GQ when possible or your crew will pass out eventually.

I often step down when running silent as were in "evasion" mode and crew effeciency is irrelevant (they arent loading munitions after all). As in a "role playing" mode to me it doesent make sense to be in GQ and silent at the same time.

So yea Ive been "alerted" by the whistle as well
When in contact with the enemy you should always be at GQ, SAILOR! That's what General Quarters is for. Not to mention that you may need a boost in the efficiency of your damage control party without a whole lot of warning.

Now... if you forget to stand them down... well that's just baaaaaaaaaaad command work.

I bet you were the kid in class who always reminded the teacher that she forgot to hand out the homewrk, just before the bell rang. Fess up... it was you, wasn't it?
