AI Captains
They should not automatically set the ship to maintain position. If that's something I wanted them to do I would have done as much in their commands

The Ai captains don't actually pilot the sub, they just turn on autopilot and call out things on sonar. Do you mean when you leave the nav station, that they then turn on autopilot?

Yep they turn it on to maintain position whenever I'm not controlling them.

Yea I think that feature was added because people have monkey brains and left the nav seat and forgot that the sub was still running. Would be nice if you could turn it off tho. Probaply a mod for that somewhere

You can tell the Captain to Wait in place and they will not try to stop the ship once you toggle out of them.

This is particularly useful if you're doing some very surgical drivebys

I would almost pay somebody to teach me how to make an AI captain do anything correctly. I'm still new to the game but the concepts of AI logic are not lost on me. I just watched our AI captain bonk our sub into a wall causing a hull breach and all the chaos that goes with it because they were tasked with "take us to the objective". The objective is about 200m away, and the only thing they needed to do to get there was path around an iceberg of sorts in a nice big "U" shape. Apparently that was too confusing for them, and they drove straight into the "obstacle" and continued to attempt to drive through it until forced to stop. Easiest settings possible, no mods. What. The. He||!

If you don't want the captain to run into ice the best solution I've found is to keep them in the brig. The second best option is to have a gunner who can shoot the ice for the captain.
Hey jack I bet you forgot about this post by now.
