True. You could incorporate a few stats too, such as coolness under pressure, presence, charisma - and these could develop as you go along in your career. Perhaps if your "Coolness Under Pressure" stat was low, under a prolonged depth charge attack, the orders could be delayed, or the camera could become distorted as your Captain started to panic.

The same with Charisma and Presence. High ratings in these mean you can keep better control over your crew when under attack or in tense situations.
