[REQ] Crew mods, details inside.

[Xypher]

shoot i searched for something like that and i didnt see your mod pop up! so it removes the flak, deck gun slots? if so i actually like that idea mostly because of a particularly nasty glitch if you swap your deck gun from bow to stern.

im not too big on the crew swap out idea. though its very accurate i love watching them little green bars fill up a little more after every patrol. it makes me all giddy when i get to hand out a bunch of new promotions to my from start to finish crews. ill give tiger maru a peek, but theres always something about the big mods that always turn me off of them.

(Edit) allright loaded it up and it seems there is a lot more room for growth with this team. but i have one massive question, why do most commanders specialize in Watch? how dose that help the ship as whole? why not electornics or mechanical?

Glad you like it. Yes, I did remove the crewmen from the deck and flak gun slots, since those positions would have been filled from other positions within the boat. Most fleet boats carried at most two Gunners Mate-rated sailors, and these guys would stand watch, likely on the bridge, like anyone else.

If you're talking about the bridge crew, that's intentional. The newest, lowest-ranking officers were typically trained first to be watchmen, and as such this was usually their first assignment on board a submarine. Also, if you notice, their skill (not specialy) is not always Watch. It can be pretty much anything the game wishes to assign to the crew member.

No, the specialities are not random. Their skills are.

Speciality - the job they have been specifically trained to do, akin to a Rating.

Skill - a natural ability in which the crewman excels - such as mechanics, electricity, leadership, etc.

The crewman's skill is listed first, then his speciality.
