Default Medals

Ahoy! First thanks for all those who answered my first thread -

Can you tell me what the medals do for my crew members I pick?

Thanks in advance

B

Default that is a good question

I never thought about it. Maybe it has something to do with renown? I just assumed it was eye candy, and good for captain's morale (I usually get purple hearts after having been KIA.) A fundamental, but very interesting question!

They don't seem to do anything. Unlike a promotion, there's no boost in efficiency, I've never noticed a morale change, or anything else.

Yes - when I got them i was giving one to fore torps, one for engineering and one for command - hoping these medaled crew members would have a decent stat boost

ah well ...

I just role play with medals. What ever department was the most crucial and used effectively on the patrol. Like if it was the watchmen, the engineers, perhaps the torpedo room. Or if the deck gun was used a lot.
