Captain's Watch

Thanks for the info-another question-when did the skipper himself "stand watch"? Or did he shift watches? In the game the captain never "sleeps" you can pop in any hour, any watch.

The Captain and XO didn't stand watch detail. Not that they didn't watch when on the bridge, but that wasn't their primary role. Each watch stander watched their sector. Again, all had duel roles, the skippers primary role is to run the ship, not stand watch. Simply, he wasn't on a rotating watch schedule, he came and went as he pleased.

Technically in the game you're the skipper. When you sleep is up to you.
