Though you may not find "pull the plug" listed...since the book is from a time before submarines were in general use...and probably has not been updated since...

Guilty as well. BTW, there's a mod (I think) that changes the color of those buttons from light yellow/bright yellow to something like dark something to bright green (indicating 'active'). I should look into that myself.

There is one like that. I asked about it over on the Mod Forum a while back. You can change the buttons any way you want to suit your needs or fancy...

It is easy to use though at first it looks quite formidible (at least it did to me)...

It can be a life saver when you are in a big hurry to get things done fast...and seconds count..

Boy, you really like to run things into the ground. I, on the other hand, am now probably beating a dead horse.

Thats the same look he gives you when you press the D key instead of the S key at high time compression and slam into the bottom.

Which is why the only key I ever hit when in TC is 'Backspace'.
