[REQ] - Crew Rotation

[jdkbph]

Yeah, it bothers me a bit to make a request like this (although not enough to prevent my asking), but....

I was reading a thread over in that other forum over there and had a thought. When the smoke finally cleared (damn, I hate when that happens), here's what I could remember....

Assuming there's no way to mod this directly into the game itself, here's an idea for a utility or something.

At the end of every patrol, exit the game, click an icon on your desktop, and this "utility" would delete at random from your last save game file (after making a backup of course) every third or fourth man from each compartment on your boat. Absent an easy way to do this by compartment, just deleting every third or fourth man from the crew roster should still work.

And that's it! Simple yes? (...from the guy who can't code his way out of a paper bag)

Then...

At the start of your next patrol you would back fill with raw talent from the repple depple

-or-

You could use renown to replace major talent drains in any compartment as needed (remember the auto-deleting process would be random)

-and-

You would have more care (and reason for care) in handing out promotions and medals to those left behind.

Now if only I knew how to code...
