A real shame as this helm qualification would have been a perfect way to vary the crash dive times. Devs dropped the ball here.

I am using NYGM so the green bar means nothing to me. I guess that is why I didnt see a need for machine qual guys.

But even if the green bar in the engine room drops to half and the engines are still running then what is the advantage to having the green bar higher??? I mean....the engines are either running or they are not....right?

True
But as your crew tire the bar will drop till it gets to a point the engines wont work
If you have a full bar with only half the compartmant full ( men with machine qual ) then it will run longer plus you will have more crew resting to swop over
