I have for the longest time (since about a week after I started using MHQ 2.5 years ago) wanted a new feature. Automatic skill purchases! Maybe this dovetails with TiS so I should I thought I should mention it here. Just tossing the idea around.
How it would work...
Probably a Menu command under Manage Campaign.
Design
1 ) Drop Down Menu for Personnel Type
2 ) Drop Down Menu for Skill Level (Green, etc)
3 ) Drop Down Menu for a Skill
4 ) Drop Down Menu for a Skill Rank*
5 ) Small Text Area for reporting results
6 ) A Check or Search Button
7 ) An OK or Execute Button
8 ) A Cancel Button
9 ) A Progress Bar
*It should use the values available in Skill Tab of Campaign Options. Including skipping certain ranks and the XP costs.
Example of Operation
1 ) Set Personnel Type to Administrators
2 ) Set Skill Level to Green
3 ) Set Skill to Small Arms
4 ) Set Skill Rank to 4
Click Check Button > In a small reporting area "N Personnel can Train"
Click Execute Button > In a small reporting area "N Personnel have trained" could also echo to Daily Log. Short version though... just the number of people who have trained skill (Name)
In the above example every Green Administrator who doesn't have Small Arms 4 will expend all available XP trying to get to 4.
Examples of the short text reports so that Daily Log isn't over-run.
Although not really necessary, I think the Skill Level filter might be very useful in preventing horrifically long times to update.
