Colored shirts on the roof: the deck crew comes to work 2e8ad0a

FEATURECARRIER The Enterprise flight deck from above with yellow, green, red and blue shirt crew figures around the catapults and JBDs

The flight deck has crew now — eleven handlers in the proper Navy colors, and they work the whole cycle exactly as their real counterparts do:

  1. Yellow shirts direct. A director marshals the air wing up the cat-2 lane with the come-ahead wave, wands crossing overhead when it’s time to hold. The recovery director waves trap survivors toward the parking row the same way — including you, after your own wire.
  2. The shooter shoots. Kneel on one knee beside the shuttle, one arm pointed down the track — your cat-1 shooter drops into the pose the moment you come to military power, and the cat-2 shooter does it for every air-wing launch.
  3. The right colors in the right places. Green shirts stand by their JBDs, blue handlers crouch on the tie-down chains along the port row, ordnance reds wait by the island, and the brown plane captain and purple fuel crew hold the bow spots.

Also in this build: SHIFT+J rides the spectate ring backwards — J steps forward through every contact in the area, SHIFT+J steps back to the previous one.
