On the F4 screen, I'd like the statistics for the current commander to show up somewhere when I click on an occupied command (while looking for someplace to assign a new commander).
Here's the difficulty I'm having:
At startup, I try to fill every command slot with an officer, even if that officer isn't a good fit. In practice, this means that end up with a bunch of equivalent commands (garrison divisions for example, or ground troops to be more general), some of which have "good" officers and some of which have "warm bodies". Now lets say a few months go by, and I get a new commander that's suited for one of these commands (ground combat +10%, for example). What I'd like to do is go through each of the garrison units in "potential assignments" and quickly see the commander and his statistics, so that I know which ones are warm bodies and therefore up for replacement.
I realize that this is what the "commands" mode is supposed to support, but I'm not having a lot of luck with it - mainly because the sorting results in the commands being a lot more jumbled than on the main screen.
[EDIT] - I think a checkbox that would ignore the currently selected officer and instead drive the "Additional Details" and "Ratings and Bonuses" at the top off of the commander of the currently selected "Potential Assignment" would do the trick. In other words, a checkbox that controls whether the (potential) new commander or the old commander of the potential assignment is displayed at the top.
