Are you talking about a ship in Squadron 42 or a player ship? You said six turrets, so let's say a Hammerhead.
TL;DRThis refers to hired NPC crews on player ships in the PU, where the captain can order red alert but keeping crew at stations lowers morale and performance, and Trufin says it's coming "soon".
We're talking a ship in the PU where you actually will hire a crew to man your station. Because let's say today your friends are not online and you just want to have some fun, you will have your NPC crew that you hire and raise and train and all the lovely stuff. And they will have a schedule. What you can do as the owner of the ship and the captain, you can say, you're always on red alert, then everyone will be at the stations. What that will do, it will cause their morale to drop. If you keep them always at the station, they'll go hungry, which again drops morale, they'll not be happy, their performance will decrease. So it's up to you how you want to do it. If you want to always keep them on red alert because you know stuff is about to happen, fair enough. But at some point, you have to let them do their stuff. And if they don't get enough sleep, they get cranky and all this lovely stuff.
When's that happening?
Soon.
