The first version of the Damage Control System allows you to visually manage a ship's damage control activities. You can coordinate your activities with other users of the system, by keeping track of the damage control events happening in all parts of the ship. You can interact with the drawing display to visualize the current damage control situation. Compartments with activity will be shaded or have a callout block with the current status icons. With a few mouse clicks, you can order and set boundaries and assign multiple damages to chosen compartments.
