Hello kaleuns:
I had exactly the same problem... everybody was dying in the conning tower. When I sent the repairs team there, the only the only slots where crew don't get killed are 1st and the 2nd at the right the officer's slot. Those 2 slots seem to be bug-free and keep the repair guys there until you get the report that there is no damage to repair. Just in case you want to try it.
