after reading through it am i to assume that to get the most out of your crew you will need to:
1. Assign qualifications to PO's and Officers.

3. Awad medals to PO's Officer's and enlisted men.

Could you please exoplain how the 18 hr rotation will work in this mod.

A massive amount of work has been done by Observer to get the figures for the compartment efficiency, crew efficiency & crew fatigue to fit the mathematic formula used by SHIII.

After looking at the massive spreadsheet with formulas longer than most of my sentences, I had to rest for an hour :rotfl:


My feeling is that the promotion of your sailors will gain you the most benefit. The higher the rank, the quicker they recover their efficiency. As sailors make up a large amount of your crew having them turn around quicker will be of great benefit.

Medals, hmmmm, we are yet to address the ‘Uber’ effect of the medals. At this stage, I would recommend not using the medals till we have fine tuned the underlying NYGM Crew Management Mod. Once we have done that we can address the ‘Uber’ medals.

I have done very well with my crews and have never awarded a single medal.

The 18hr rotation means that, a crew member in the engine room and the bridge watch will take 18hrs to reach minimum efficiency.

The exception to the bridge is that in heavy weather they will tire quicker, somewhere nearer 12+ hours.

The command room has a very low efficiency attrition as a concession to the ‘officer’ requirements of SHIII.
