Suggestion for update to Crew Roster interface...

I would like to see an update to the crew roster to allow crew to be selected for disposal, either after freezing or before, and the crew slot open up and stay EMPTY, allowing you to select which of the crew in the waiting room or indeed brought out of Cryo, or re-enlistment in order to fill the slot, rather than automatically filling the available slot with the next crew in the waiting list. This is particularly a problem when opening a 10x crew pack, with 6 days left in waiting, all having almost the exact same waiting time, I would like to be able to choose exactly who gets recruited, not just hire the next in line based on the order they came out of the crew pack!

There are many times I would like to add certain crew straight away and not jettison all the other crew members that are earlier in the waiting room just to get the one I want in the active crew. Similarly, I need to clear all the waiting crew plus an active member just to make a space to bring someone back from Cryo. I often have at least half a dozen crew waiting, with 5 or 6 days left before automatic exit.

I know the re-enlist option was recently added, but this is only a very rudimentary fix, since they only hang around there for a few hours, and is only really a solution to accidental deletion, but again is does not fully resolves that situation, since again all waiting crew plus an active crew slot needs to be jettisoned in order to recover the accidental removal of a crew member, and that needs to be done in around 6 hours, where the crew in waiting may still have 6 days left.

I know the answer is to get more crew slots, but this is only a temporary fix, as the extra few crew slots will soon fill up and I'm left in the same situation once again.

Hopefully the developers can look into making this update to vastly improve the current behaviour.

    Just an FYI: these type of posts belong in the "Make It So!" category of the forums ;)

    [Edit: Note sure now if I actually saw it in the other forum, or if it was afterwards moved to the correct one.]

    Yes, thanks, after I hit the Post Comment button, I suddenly thought, it's in the wrong forum!
    The Bridge is normally the go to forum, as it gets the most views, as is evident of the lack of any comment, whilst in here!
