Seriously, though, having seen some Ohio thingies I can tell you they're really not worth investigating.

Given that a) SH5Cmdr is off the table for me and b) there seems to still be a good level of interest in SH3, I'm thinking of re-compiling SH3Cmdr to bring it up to date with Vista/Win7 (while retaining full compatibility with XP of course). Essentially just giving it the updated look and feel and the elevated privileges to make the UAC happy.

I might also add a few small suggestions that have been made since the last release, such as:

-fixing the startup position on multi-monitors
-receiving renown for releasing senior officers (a bit of an incentive and reward for sharing your proteges around)
-including the latest ship names file (if Sailor Steve gives me permission)

The question is though...would there be interest in this minor update? It would require a d/l of the full 20mb package (ie treated as a full release), so would completely replace the existing d/l.

If there is sufficient interest, then given that the current release is now over 15 months old, I'd like to know if there are any other little nuances or annoyances that you'd like "fixed".

That's a cool idea!

Permission???

Seeing that without Commander there wouldn't be any ship names at all, of course you have my permission, blessings and full support!

(but I'll still be doing updates 'til the cows come home)

I'm happy either way, so it's up to everybody else (and yourself) to judge that one.

Nothing I can think of, other than what you've mentioned. But I still miss the banners from the older version.

The problem with this approach is that your chosen officer will lose their medals, badges and rank upon "promotion". They will also lose all personal history. In essence they would be the same "person" by name only. No way SH3Cmdr could workaround this.

Well darn! Well, it didn't hurt to ask, and I appreciate the detailed explanation too!

It's doable, certainly. But the key words in my post were "if there are any other little nuances or annoyances that you'd like "fixed"."

That's exclusive.

Would there be an interest? Yes yes yes!
