>>Once in awhile I still get the bug crew not going into repair mode when I take damage, sorta like the CO2 bug, if I save and reload it will work fine.

I really don't know about this not going into repair mode. I've never experienced that. But if its anything like the C02 bug, i think thats related to ALT Tabbing. SH4 doesn't take it very well.

edit:
As crew skills go, what compartment they work in is deliberate. (torpedo room only for example.) Acutally, the torpedo room is a great example. You have two possible choices for skills. Faster reloading, or a reduction in duds. Since theres only one crewman who can have either skill in that compartment, you have to choose one or the other. Some skills i knew they would stack, so i left the alternates good enough to encourage diversification. Some skills have diminishing returns, like engine expert. You get the most bennfit out of two, the bennfit of the 3rd one doesnt justify the loss of a 3rd possible crew skill.

You're probably right about the alt/tab, I do that constantly. Did notice sometimes it wouldn't go into silent running when I did it a lot, so probably the case since they all repair when you save and reload.

It really doesn't matter I guess what compartment they're rated to as long as you can make the skill work. Just hate using say my command officer rated for the control room, to have to move him to the engine room to use his skill....not that big a deal, but I'll move him as needed. I don't think the drop in efficiency ratings for the others matter that much.

The rest makes good sense....

Thanks....
