Don't forget those blue flooding indicators at the top...
..they can warn you of your reaching a point of no return too...
...not to change the topic...but since you brought up the importance of hull integrity as it relates to "staying alive" I thought this would be a good oportunity to ask a related question. Probably the answer ought help the original poster too.
The few times I have needed to order damage control to give a priority to their work list I've never been able to get them to repond to my orders...
Usually they will simply fix whatever needs it without my input. However, the other day a destroyer came out of the fog and sent me to the bottom in 238 feet of water....
He must have considered me a dead duck (or perhaps he had inside access to the AI's information...
) because he steamed off a let me be.
Problem was... I had so much damage that the damage control party couldn't stay ahead of the flooding.
I moved all the HULL DAMAGE jobs and the Damaged Pumps to the top prority list.
I ordered the Damage control crew to fix these items..but stubbornly they kept fiddling with unimportant repairs like sonar and periscope while ignoring the essentials.
The end result was that the compartments flooded beyond the point of no return and it was lights out.
So then ....is their a "trick" to getting those essential hull repairs done first? What is it?..I certainly can't figure it out...
..and it isn't simply a matter of moving the repairs to the top of the list in that "box".
BTW..the hulls were only damaged.. and only moderately so at that....not destroyed...so that isn't the explaination for the crew's refusal to fix them first...:hmm:
