Bulk Crew Promotion

Bulk Crew Promotion

Bulk Crew Promotion adds map right-click actions for promoting and reshuffling pilots/captains across many player ships at once.

The vanilla map already has a useful one-ship action: replace the current pilot with the best available crewmember on that ship. This mod keeps that spirit, but adds bulk tools for large empires where doing it ship by ship becomes menu work.

    Actions

    • []Promote best crew — Selected ships. Promotes the best on-board service/marine crewmember on each selected ship.[/]

      []Promote best crew on all ships — Whole empire. Same local promotion pass, but for every player ship.[/]

      []Reshuffle captains, empire pool — Selected ships. Immediate reshuffle using lax defaults. Preserves the original quick behavior.[/]

      []Reshuffle captains with config, empire pool — Selected ships. Opens the reshuffle config window, then runs against selected ships.[/]

      []Reshuffle captains on all ships — Whole empire. Opens the reshuffle config window, then runs against every eligible player ship. Can also include station managers (see below).[/]

      Selected-ship actions appear when right-clicking a player ship, or when right-clicking free sector space while player ships are selected. Whole-empire actions are shown on the player HQ by default.

      The mod-wide Extension Options menu has a few mod-level options:

      • []Show whole-empire actions only on HQ. Enabled by default. Disable it to show whole-empire actions on every player-owned station.[/]

        []Debug logging. Optional; useful for troubleshooting reshuffle decisions. Reason logging can be grouped, per-decision, or disabled.[/]

        Promote Vs Reshuffle

        • []Promote — Candidate pool: each ship's own service + marine crew. Movement: none, same-ship promotion. Best for: quick local cleanup.[/]

          []Reshuffle — Candidate pool: player empire service + marine + unassigned crew. Movement: cross-ship assignment through AssignHiredActor. Best for: moving the best pilots to ships that need them.[/]

          Promote does not move crew between ships. Reshuffle builds an empire-wide candidate pool and assigns
