Plus theres the aspect of naval combat happening 
just at or beyond visual range. Most of the crew 
don't exactly have much to look at and just have 
to stick with their tasks. Where the problems 
occur is where ships suffer damage and how the 
crews respond with damage control and repair of 
critical systems to maintain a fighting posture.
