How about when I set the fleet to be Free Move and am in Fleet Commander mode. Why not let folks join the role as wing commander without having me to move them into the role as wing commander. You can move yourself into squad commander, but I would like it being possible up to wing commander.

Should be really easy to implement on the next update methinks? Shocked

Really? You want that random spy to be able to move into wing command position and warp off 50 dudes randomly? Imo, that's why wing commanders have to be manually set.. to potentially dangerous to just leave open. Squad command, okay, 10 guys.. not crippling. 50? Hmm.

Now that's a side I didn't think about :)

That's why there's an option to turn free move off.

I support the OP proposal.

And there's a decent solution to my objection, however, it negates the OP entirely. Free move off, no moving yourself to wing command.

But the option is fine, honestly. I was just pointing out a potential problem with it.

So yeah...easy solution to all complaints.

1. Right click on fleet

2. Three options
_A - Free Move Member (you can move between squads/wings, but no commander spots)
_B - Free Move Squad Com (same as A plus you can move into squad commander spots)
_C - Full Free Move (same as B plus you can move int wing commander spots)

3. Problem solved Cool

Thank you all very much, I'll be here all week,
