Commanders Window:
Within each Rank, sort all entries by name.

When you see the name of an officer in an event and want to look them up, or you want to relieve an officer from duty, and then you have to scan through hundreds of entries because they aren't sorted... That is just needlessly painful.

They are sorted in order of seniority. I could add an alphabetical sort option though.

I was reading and waiting to see where this was going. I can see only a couple of solutions that would not end up in a Risk stalemate where you just piling up armies on the other side of a jump point:

• Going back to the old advantage where NPR have no jump shock to deal with, effectively "cheating", or by giving them a reduced jump shock, so that you are still getting the advantage but for limited amount of time compared to the current and player
• AI would send a scout in advance prior jumping and if an enemy fleet is on the other side would decide if the mission they are carrying over justifies the risk and pretty much still ending up wiped out eventually

The problem with 1 is that we are trying to get away from cheating AIs in favor of a more "smart" one. The problem with 2 is that we could go back to the old peeking problem with scouts jumping in and out systems every cycle.

We could have a random zero-time jump shock, valid also for the player.

I've built a bunch of Decoy reloads (for my ship's decoy launchers) on Earth. But they won't load into my Ammo Tenders.

I can design a ship that has hundreds of Decoy Launchers, and just load the launchers on Earth and unload them on the destination planet... but is there a simpler way of getting replacement Decoys to the battle-front?

Unfortunately there is not. It is on the to-do list but I have yet to see an ETA for a solution to this one.

Following this https://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=13090.msg164759#msg164759 I don't think such a solution was never in the cards.

They are WAI like Box Launchers, so you have to reload them in an hangar or at a colony.

If we compare these to CHAFF systems, it makes sense.
