Here I am again, still having issues with commanders.
I ran into a problem in my last game with the new C "autopromote" routine not filling up all the ranks. It was suggested to me, to change my naval organization to make sure that there was an Admin level for each tier of rank; I did, and it solved the problem.
I've started a new game, and I find myself having the same issue. This time, my admin ranks are already "in a row", so to speak (I have one run by a CDR, one by a CAPT, 1 by RADL, RADM, VADM, and ADM), but there aren't nearly enough people getting promoted to fill them, nor all of the available spaces on my ships. Of the 300 officers I have total, 280 of them are LCDRs, but I need at least 60 CDR/CPT/or higher to staff all of my assorted admin commands and ship modules.
What's going on this time? I don't want to have to manually promote dozens of people every time I make a new fleet
