Okay, probably not, but I have to ask (perhaps a patch item?):

I was forming a CVTF around the Yorktown, and decided to select a commander for the TF. OH MY GOD... Was that a nightmare, or what? I had to click each bugger just to find someone who had CV quals. Tell me there's an easier way?

(What I'd love to see is a method of screening out folks I'm not interested in, like when we're looking for a/c or ship types, with options being quals, aggressiveness, etc.).

This is yet another of the many places we poor users would benefit from a utility that would dump the scenario database to a .csv file.

Then Toro and all the rest of us could just sort with all those nice database screening features in Excel:

I want an IJ Small Unit commander with Land Combat > 51, agressiveness > 55 and administration > 40. Sorted by Political Point value from least expensive to most expensive.

Yeah I can`t believe they can`t come up with some way to allow the Mod guys to create a utility screen the 10,000 or so

commanders in the game and most especially a way to indicate the ones on the list _already assigned_ to a command, so you don`t keep shifting them back and forth at the cost of PP`s.

Any interest in the Testers getting behind this modest request ?????

just to add my two cents, not that its worth a penny, this is also my biggest hang-up with the game...If there is any way to find a CO quicker.........

WITP is still the best in my book.....

Surely buried in the Matrx HQ is a hard copy or even a computer text copy of all the leaders and their attributes that could be made available by scanning as text file to download and print.

I know I would be happy to just have them to look them up on paper and then select in the screen.
