Title really covers two very separate questions (but hopefully caught attention). First question for the assembled wisdom is: does a Staff Academy have any use once it has trained-up a sufficiency of General Staffs? (i.e is there any other use for a staff-officer, or can a Staff Academy research anything?)
Second question is: has anyone noticed any actual benefit from coppering their ships? I know the rules say that ships so treated have some benefits (vs. repairs etc.) But are they significant enough to be noticeable in actual play?
