Pinetree Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Would it be possible to have soldiers that have been hired but have not yet arrived appear on the soldiers list? I ask this as the current game I'm playing, my troops are dying like flies and I find it very hard to keep track if I've hired troops or not when I need to replace dead troops as there is currently no way to check. The most straightforward implementation I can think of is to have the hired soldier appear on the soldier management list as soon as they are hired but have their assignment as "ETA-2 days" or something like that. It would be nice to have the ETA count down as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coma berenices Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I agree. Any feature helping in managing incoming 'staff' would be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some days, you'll wait two hours to have another batch of troops arrive to head to the meat grinder. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwolves Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Just knowing that there are people inbound (and how many) would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casaubon Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Just knowing that there are people inbound (and how many) would be great. I second this. Same would be helpful for soldiers being on transit between bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llunak Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Just knowing that there are people inbound (and how many) would be great. X:CE now shows that in the soldier hire screen, just like it's done for scientists and engineers (the number in parentheses after the total number of soldiers). I think 1.5 might not have picked up this change though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
