Status: offline 		Is there a faster way to change a unit's commanding HQ other than click to select on the map, right click to bring up unit detail, clicking its current HQ, then changing the HQ from the list, then clicking to close the window?

Other than hitting "g" which auto assigns it to the closest, which is not always what you want.

Status: offline 		Changing HQ assignments is probably one of the most egregious generators of excess clicks in the game, seeing that one is constantly shifting units between commands.

It would be great if a more streamlined system for this could be devised, although I suspect the architecture of the code probably precludes any simple fix to the HQ UI.

Status: offline 		I'm happy with the current state of clicks required, because it's a more conscious decision for me and I don't change it accidentially. It can't be undone, can it?

Status: offline 		I’d kill for a multi unit reassignment tool—shift click a bunch of units and reassign them all at once to a HQ. same thing for plane upgrades in the commander’s report and map transfers—I’d love to be able to shift click/mass select units and then transfer them to the map all at once or upgrade the plane model all at once. If there’s a way to do anything of these things, and I’ve missed them, I’ll happily look for foolish in exchange for someone telling me how.

You have to wait a turn before you can change HQs again.

If you get lazy like me when assigning HQs, you can just bring a HQ right next or on top of the unit you want reassigned (make sure that HQ is the closest HQ to the unit you want reassigned) and then hit G as that key reassigns the selected units to the nearest HQ. Then hit undo to move the HQ back in the original location, not an exploit as you could have assigned the units manually through all the menus, this just saves time.

For upgrading/transfering units en masse, you'd have to use the commanders report to do that, though I never used it for that.
