Overview
The purpose of this mod is to provide an automation alternative to training and assigning pilots to fleets. A new default order is made available to L and XL ships with an average crew skill of 1 star, called "Train Subordinates". Subordinates can be trained as high as the piloting level of the commander running the order - so a 3 star commander can train a subordinate ship up to 3 stars in piloting, or a 5 star commander can train subordinates up to 5 stars in piloting.
Ships running this order will train their subordinates, increasing both the subordinate pilot's piloting, engineering, and morale skills, while also distributing some engineering/morale experience across the subordinate ship's service crew. For each pilot that successfully graduates training, the training carrier commander may receive a minor bump in XP to the commander's piloting and management skills. Subordinates that complete training will automagically reassign themselves to the player designated L/XL/Station. If the station does not exist or has been destroyed, the player will receive a notification and the subordinate will remain assigned to the training group.
How to Use
The player is to setup the training carrier parameters, and assign all desired "trainees" as direct subordinates to the carrier. The subordinates can be added before or after issuing the order-the sequence does not matter. The training "carrier" (carrier defined loosely as any L/XL ship is eligible for this order) will then patrol the designated sector, only engaging enemies if fired upon. Every 15 or so minutes, subordinates will have the chance to gain experience for both the pilot and service crew of the assigned ship. If enabled, the player will receive hourly summary reporting into the "tips" section of the logbook from the training carrier commander, providing stats such as current number of pilots being trained, total operating costs, and the total number of pilots that have "graduated" from training.
