Arguably the most user friendly way is to change the below block in Basic.cfg (it's right at the end, so very easy to find):
Quote:
[SPECIAL2]; emblems
DaysSpent=0 <- days offset. Set to the day that you want to start during the month that you selected within SH3Cmdr
Nb=1
Renown0=0
Name0=
Then just get your users to ensure that they select an emblem when they first start a new career. I'm guessing that most players do this anyway, so it's prolly the most intuitive way to do it.

Just keep in mind that this may provoke the missing tonnage bug.

Hmmm, just thinking about it, I might add:
Code:
[0:data\Cfg\Basic.cfg]
SPECIAL2|DaysSpent=I|0|28|N
to my Randomised events.cfg file so as to randomise the starting date of all my subsequent new careers. As I only ever select one emblem during a career, and always before my first patrol, what value it subsequently gets set to is irrelevent (although I can manually remark out the line after the first running and unremark it prior to starting any new career), so I can add it once and forget about it. Too easy.
