Damage-control manning and the value of the night shift

The end-of-mission choice compares fire containment, stronger strike defenses, and a night-shift damage-control benefit. The players choose the night shift because it adds another team and speeds repair work. Darkness stops flight operations in the scenario, so those hours can be used to prepare the ship for the next day. The upgrade simplifies a complex organization while keeping trained personnel, watches, and sustained repair capacity at the center of the decision. A carrier's readiness after damage depends on how effectively its crew uses time as well as on the ship's physical protection.
