Suggestion: two crew management functions

[Mr. Peepers]

This game is fantastic, but I find that managing crew members can be kinda fiddly sometimes and I think having these buttons would help out a lot:

1. Report to Sickbay: anyone who's taken damage starts heading towards the medbay. Ideally if there's more than 3 people who need healing or there's already people inside that don't need healing, they can automatically enter and exit the medbay as needed so everyone gets healed eventually.

2. Assign Battlestations/Report to Battlestations: Assign Battlestations would save the current location of each crew member on your ship. Report to Battlestations would tell every crew member to report to their saved location. Instead of having to sort your crew out individually after a tough fight, one click gets them all back to exactly where you want them.

I like it. That would make managing crew so much more efficient.

I'm not saying it is a bad idea, but I think it will be a hard sell.
It requires some additions to the UI, and Justin has during the beta commented on suggestions expressing his concerns about lack of space to put anything new in the UI.

What I would like, in the vein of the OP's second point, is the ability to reorganize the order in which my crew appears on the list. That way I could have my pilot in the first slot, gunner in the second, etc. on each playthrough so that I wouldn't have to check who has what skills every time people leave their stations. All that would take is drag and drop functionality in the Crew tab of the Ship screen, no UI changes.

I don't think there'd be any problems squeezing it in right under or right over the current crew list.

I would love to be able to re-order the crew list!

Also, i would like to be able to rename my crew. It may be a cruel practice, but its Federation regulation.
