Most likely SH4 will come first.

I cannot remember the actual thread, but I vaguely remember this being asked previously and the creator of SH3 Commander expressed no interest in making one for 5. Some of the veteran forum members would better be able to confirm this. However, there are enough good mods out there that take care of most, if not all of the features that SH3 Commander offered.

A lot of Commander's functions are either useless or unnecessary in SH5. Yes, easy control of wave height and gun reload rate would be nice, as would the randomizer functions. I'm told that SH5 already has a function for giving names to ships that you sink, so that isn't needed. The massive randomized crew database isn't needed because SH5 doesn't have a crew, just a few key personnel. There are some others, but I'm not sure there's a point.

Most likely SH4 will come first.
Why? In five years no one has bothered. Well, one modder did, but he gave up and disappeared after awhile. I would love to see somebody do it, but I'm not going to hold my breath. SH4 is the orphan of the SH series.

I think he said (the creator of the program) said he wasn't doing one for SH4. I don't remember the reason. It would be cool though.

JScones said at the time that SH3 was what he was interested in, nothing further. Commander started off a couple of simple functions, and slowly grew into what it is now. When GWX4 was in the planning stages one of its members told me in a phone conversation that he could add in the Commander functions I wanted, but of course that ended up going out the window with the rest of the project. I too would love to see those functions in SH4, and SH5 as much as is possible.

I may be able to put ship names into SH5, but not until I have a new computer. On the other hand, as near and dear as that project is to me, for others it's only a small part of what Commander does.
