Suggestion: Return to saved post for individual crew member

Post by Blitz »

While I love having saved crew member positions, it would be even better to be able to order an individual or groups of crew members back to his post. Right now, I pause and muck about till I get the desired results. Seems unnecessarily convoluted.

Thanks

100% agree. I've wanted this since the very first time I used a medbay in AE :)

I've found a poor man's solution to it. Let's say you have 3 in the medbay and 3 outside the medbay waiting to heal. Highlight the 3 outside the medbay, hit enter to return to posts, and then right click the medbay. The 3 guys in the medbay will return to posts and the 3 guys waiting will go into the medbay. When they're healed, hit enter again and send them on their way.

That's exactly the mucking about I'm talking about. Although, I have that issue in other places too, like during combat when doing repairs and combat.

In a similar vein, being able to set paths for crew to follow would be good too. I find myself micromanaging crew paths sometimes...

Oooh I like that. Right click multiple rooms and the guys run to those rooms in order. Not to the place in each room though. As soon as they enter the room they just start heading to the next checkpoint.
