Sea Power: Damage Control (DC) System Guide

In Sea Power, the Damage Control (DC) system plays an essential role in managing your units both in combat and in their survivability. The following is an in-depth guide on how to use and optimize the DC system.

Accessing the Damage Control UI

• The DC UI is opened by bringing up the Right-Click Context Menu on the selected unit.

• While most actions of the DC are automated, the player can override this process with the +/- buttons in each of the compartment columns.

• Use the >>> buttons to change the priority for repairs of any particular system.

Key Features of Damage Control

Number of DC Teams

• The number of DC Teams available is based on unit tonnage.

Damage Effects on Modules

• Damaged modules may take debuffs that reduce their effectiveness according to the level of damage.

Automatic Control Priority

Repairs are automatically prioritized in the following order (highest to lowest):

Flooding Rate

Repair Fire

Repair Flooding

Repair Structure

Repair Systems

Color-Coded Damage Severity

Damages are color-coded as follows:

• White: Light Damage

• Yellow: Medium Damage

• Red: Heavy Damage

• Black: Module Destroyed

Repaired Modules

• Repaired modules use the same color coding to state health.

• Gear Icons with an X: Module cannot be repaired beyond its current health.

• Gear Icons without an X: Module can be repaired one stage higher (e.g., Yellow → White).

• Locomotion Modules (Engine, Propulsion, Rudders): Always repairable and retain basic functionality, even after being destroyed.

Crew Skills and Their Effects

Skill Levels and Performance

• DC Team’s performance depends on the Skill Level of the crew, ranging from Green (lowest) to Ultra (highest).

• Crew Skill Levels can be preset in the mission editor.

Effects of Crew Skills

In Vessels:

• Flooding Repair & Rate: Speeds up flooding repair and controls its rate.

• Structural Repair: Restores hull integrity.

• System Repair: Repairs damaged modules.

• Target Motion Analysis: Increases threat detection speed.
