RFE-Allow mothballed units to have crews/force assignments

[BowtieBob]

I'd like to be able to assign a crew/warrior to mothballed units and have them show in the TOE with force assignments. This would allow for non combat units to be carried without taking up dedicated bays while keeping their crew/force assignments.

Small units with limited Dropship capacity could keep some of their combat units mothballed as well. You could allow them to enter combat after the required number of turns to be reactivated plus some travel time if the Dropship is not in the battle. This would probably require tracking which ships cargo bay each unit is stored in.

We actually do track the crew for a mothballed unit, but perhaps there is a better way to show this/extend this.

I did notice that the crew gets added back when I pull it out of mothball, but I would have to remember not to use them in another unit. Also, I would really like them to stay in the TO&E.

can we add to this? Ideally, I'd like to be able to change the site that mothballed units are in. Currently, once a unit is mothballed, you can't "Change Site" to put it somewhere else.

Alternatively, can mothballing automatically put the unit into the Transport Pod site?

Was this resolved with the Non-Combat unit feature in the TO&E?

[Windchild292]

It was not. Entirely different feature.

Not sure how complicated this would be, but I think what might work for this would be to have an option to ignore non-combat units when looking a bay requirements. If this option is on, then non-combat units would be counted against cargo capacity instead.
