Compartment remained yellow even though damage repaired

It is well known that you can assign up to three qualifiactions to PO through Commander , but only the first one counts.
Ie If a PO has the Machinist qual and then the repair SH3 understands only the Machinist.
As for the sailors , assiging quals is only eye-candy.
Only officers have three real qualifications.

I hoped I helped.

Thanks, I didn't know that regarding PO's. I knew that the sailors quals were eye candy, but it helps me organise the crew in the boat.

This being the case then, even if you haven't got any suitably qualified repair PO's, presumably if the green bar is full in the damage control team section you are still at full repair capacity?

You are welcome.
Now, I don't think this can be done.
You need qualified as repair POs to fill the damage control bar.

Pretty sure that is true.

Another tip; having a Repair qualified officer or PO in a compartment helps repair that compartment even if the Repair Team is not assigned to it. It won't be as fast or efficient, but they can certainly repair light stuff.

The reason I ask is that I get a full green bar at the top of the damage control team section when I put all available PO's in there to repair damage. I also put an officer in there who does have the necessary repair qualification, so perhaps that's what makes the difference.

Having a Repair qualified officer, plus a raft of ordinary POs would certainly send your green bar to the right.

However, it is more efficient to have 3 or 4 POs whose qualification is Repair. It lets you deploy a deep team if you have to, or split them up if the damage is relatively light.

Also, all of my officers get Repair as their 2nd or 3rd qualification. You can't have enough of them when things go badly.
