Okay so I need radical suggestions for increasing my chain of command. For my storyline it's important that I get at least one R7 commander.
I thought this would be easy because my storyline also necessitated a fighter-heavy strategy...then I learned about the fighter bonus bug.

If I just make a bunch of academies, will this compensate and get me the r6's and r7 that I need?

Why not just manually promote someone?

Also, you need to be in SM to do that.


. . . I may have spent ten minutes scratching my head in confusion before I realized that. . .

So it seems that me setting up every ship as R1 requirement

You can also set a priority for each class within a commander rank. The best officers are assigned to the highest priority classes.

A few questions I had after reading this thread:

1. What exactly is a "R" requirement? I assume it stands for Rank? R1 being Lt. Commander, R3 being Captain and so on. Is this accurate?

2. How do you set an individual ships "rank" requirement?

3. How do you set a priority for each class within a commander rank? (This may be the same as question 2, I'm not sure though)

Thanks!

1) Basically, it depends on which theme you're using though.  You can see what your ranks are in the Commanders screen (F4)

2) Class Design screen (F4), then the "DAC/Rank/Info" tab.

3) Ditto

Can't you force promotions manually? I seem to recall that most of my governors of Earth needed to be promoted before they would take the job. I know the button seems to be greyed out if spacemaster isn't on.

1. Yes
2. It's per class, not per ship.
3. See #2. Priority comes into play when 2 classes have the same rank requirements but not enough officers.
