I would go for that in a big way, I have to say, as long as all the systems that a captain were likely to use were fully modeled.

I would love to see order delay as well: Skipper on the bridge and orders all ahead slow, for example, and it takes a little while to get the message to the engine room as its passed along the boat. Stuff like that would be neat.

I've always liked the idea of a proper command sim and one of my few real hopes for SH5 is that they have decided to have a proper bash at it.
