Itsa fair question... I guess what I mean is, I liked how I could easily click stations, send some guys over to damage control and move folks around who were tired. I'd have to say the introduction of shifts was a plus. The loss of being able to bulk move folks quickly from station to station was a minus. I think there's also something in there that allows crew to become more proficient with specific tasks, which was a great idea... just no easy way to see that progression or take advantage of it that I can see.

I think this is better because I don't believe that it is the captain's responsibility to tell every one when it's bedtime. :p

True, true... yeah, what I was hoping for was some sorta right-click feature to put folks back in their shifts without me having to do it. It's like they did away with some of the micro-mgmt and introduced some new.
I'd also argue that (thankfully) the SH series is not intended to model sub ops strictly from a captains perspective.

At this point, I've been cheating a bit by adding extra crew to the damage control stations before I leave port. I say cheating, but if I don't know any better(I've never been in the Navy or a sub) it's not really cheating, so no-one tell me otherwise.  |
You might be on to something there... Extra crew sounds like a good workaround to me. And they can put themselves to bed now soooo... :hmm: or wait a minute, does the crew assigned to DC sleep on their own?
