What do arrows on crew mean?

shegeek72 · 12-13-09, 02:15 AM

Just checked my crew (F10) and several of them have arrows (pointing up) on their icons. What do they mean?

They were just promoted.

What i do when I see an arrow is move the crewman to a position higher than where he is situated. That means moving him up one row or to the left in the row he is in. I assume his qualifications have improved, but I have not figured that out yet. All the information and variables about the crew are very confusing, and I have never seen it explained fully and concisely.

Is there a guide or FAQ on crew management? I know I've seen a thread here and there with a little bit of info but has someone done a guide or a consolidated thread on managing your crew?

*nod* I'd like to know what some of the numbers mean. For example, in this screen shot do these mean: Experience 770(+0)/1150 and Efficiency 43/22(+20)?

Yes and no. The promotions you receive inport can only be used on a Seaman to make him a Petty Officer, and on a Petty Officer 1st Class to make him a Chief. All other advancement happen automatically when they get enough experience.

I posted the question of what the numbers signified in the main forum. It was a few months ago. You can search my posts or use the search options to look for it. It is somewhat complicated, and there was some educated guessing by the responders.

Did that happen (advancement at sea) in real life?

ETR3(SS) · 12-14-09, 03:19 PM

It did indeed. I made Petty Officer 3rd Class at sea.

I recall reading "Wake of the Wahoo" that the YN3 had to wait for the patrol to end to be advanced to YN2. Of course, I may be misremembering and he only had to wait to buy a crow to match his paygrade...

...which I would've had to do when I made FC2 had not several of our FC2s made FC1.

Same here, I had to beg, borrow, and steal my crows.

Well maybe not steal.

its the score like 77/100 means he has 77% for that catagory or 77 out of a possible score of 100

but as far as the experience and efficiency numbers i havent figured out what the heck they mean

shegeek's post follows mine in the same category. Unfortunately, no definitive answers have been provided. If we could get a concise analysis of how the crew's efficiency is determined and changes, it would assist us in manning the boat. It would be a good candidate for a sticky thread too.
