Cpt Rework - user labelled captains

[quickr]

Call me old or whatever but I'm having hard time tracking captains in this "new and better cpt skill system" (heavy air quotation). Everything seems so convoluted and like it's deliberately made hard to track and manage. Or maybe it's just me. I dunno.

 

Anyway, would it be possible to allow players to label or put a note on a captain? "This is my Ishizuchi/Mutsu/Yoshino/Shimakaze captain" or whatever label/note a user wants to put in, doesn't matter. It would make things so much easier.

Or maybe such option exists but I missed it?

Who in their active playerbase do WG bounce ideas off? By the looks of it so far not a large enough sample size.

[ColonelPete]

I would like that too and I already suggested that in the past feedback threads.

 

Optimal solution would a kind of bookmark for captains for specific ships, like the current captains that a specialized for a silver ship and listed at the top of captain list.

[quickr]

Wait wait wait..... I can't select skills for a captain while he is in reserve? I can not select DD skills for a captain while he is on BB? It will take whole bloody day to review and redistribute all my captains. What is this? What the F is this?

having a commanders service history would be a nice feature, which could cover what you need.

Here is another idea, probably not a new one but still... Why not have a single screen, captains lounge or whatever you wanna call it, where you can manage all your captains, their skill and assigned ships? Single place where you can do all without being forced to select a ship, move a captain, pick a skill, than move him again to another class so you can select skill for that class. So much unnecessary work, so much time gonna be wasted on managing dozens of captains and hundreds of ships.

I found the reserve at last. Select a ship with no captain mounted.

I found the reserve, that is not an issue, not a big one anyway. Thing is, you can't do anything with him while he is sitting in reserve except dismiss him. And my god that credit sink for retrieving 25% of his xp. Not to mention doubloon cost for 100%

its pure bloody minded arrogance of we know best, f*!k talking to the customer and asking them how they want the GUI to work.

There is a mod in the official modpack that allows to "Mark Crew as Primary" 

-Put a Captain on ship A

-Mark him as "primary"

- after you moved him for example to a different ship/premium, you can come back to ship A, click "get Primary Crew back" and he is put back to this ship

This works even with one captain and multiple ships...

That would be nice to be included in the game.

Right now that MOD is not working and must be updated for new version... @OlliN is working on it...

Recall commander does this. I think it just reinstates the last commander to the ship so it will work just fine. Not good for organising now, but i think ti will work when it is all done.

[Maris_Piper]

Well there does seem to be more bugs than on a Camels A*s*  I got a message pop up saying 7 points for Concealment :) I only had 4 pressed it anyway it worked. How do I reset my Commonwealth captains as I no longer have a Commonwealth ship?? God I'm to Old for this

With this update we literally got it, the Captains' Mess.

"link to reserve captains where?"

[MrWastee]

really, yet again an unfinished feature triggering my time and nerves.... only setting up ijn so far did cost me a)5mil cxp+, b) way too much time, c) quite some uncertainty in regard to number of captns needed and how to spread them and ofc d) i yet have 4 captns left on ijn silvers i yet did not push to 21 pts.

 

 

..... so, concluding, just as ur infamous cv rework..... ("§$%& §"$%& "$"& 2$"$ 213%/& /( /(%&%$& $§.......!

[quickr]

I loaded the game at 10AM, It's almost 2PM now, I only managed to sort Italian, pan-asian, panEU and comonwelth captains/ships. And those are "easy to sort" lines.

It only cost me 4 hours of my time and some 4-5M cpt XP. And I haven't touched the "big lines" yet (US, IJN, etc..) It will take me whole weekend to sort them out. And fairly sure I won't have enough credits, elite cmdr Xp and doubloons to push all my captains to 21p.

 

So glad players have to suffer cos WG can't sort their ingame economy. Easier to make stuff up like cpt rework or research bureau.

Thanks, that would be great now that there is more variation in builds.

WG I LOVE YOU, ITS SO FREAKING FUN

[Zen71_sniper]

Honestly, I mean HONESTLY, did you expect WG to make this easy for players?

 

There is one and one reason for it - to deprecate 19pt captains and make you spend money in order to stay competitive.

 

Standard 19pt build will cost you 21 pt - as simple as that. All BS about benefits is just a corporate double talk....

I can't reset my reserve commander unless retrain him to a ship

I can't reset my commander's DD skills by retraining him to a BB

What a S H I T show.......

It is included. Captains are now able to be recalled, as you might have been noticed.
