RFE: Speed enhancement during refits and repairs 'spc for larger units #1943

Open MageOhki opened 4 years ago

MageOhki commented 4 years ago

In large unit campaigns, it takes time to populate the tech list for repairs and refits/customization. While I know this is a backend, a suggestion to speed up this process: Have the 'tech' list populate during dayroll, instead of every time you want to refit/repair, and the list readjusted for open time on the tech's part after commitment to that. Even if you're hiring that day, a new tech won't be able to realistically work same day, so there's no real 'loss' in 'realistic' terms.

(this holds for all versions, regardless of environment)

Two things:

  1. This is an option that will only affect huge games.
  2. This should be implemented in an optional version, as the performance boost will only occur on huge games. (MekHQ or Campaign Options would both work)
