Renown? Boring! Experience points better

[Greenhornet]

I'd really like to see the renown thing changed, it isn't realistic as I think any updates in technology would be given to you anyway. Experience points for crew is a far better idea. It would really give you the feeling of getting to know your crew. In SH3 I actually changed crew on what they wore and how they looked even though the choice of characters was limited. You could start off your campaign with an inexperienced crew and add experience points based on the jobs they perform, as in making sure you got in some surface action to improve deck gun firing time and accuracy. Even your stats and exp points could make you better in different areas as Captain . I think it would really add to the immersion and you would feel the loss of crew members or see them develop and get better at their skills.

These points could be added in port when they recieve their promotions and medals.
