Description

In large unit campaigns, it takes time to populate the tech list for repairs and refits/customization. While I know this is a backend, a suggestion to speed up this process: Have the 'tech' list populate during dayroll, instead of every time you want to refit/repair, and the list readjusted for open time on the tech's part after commitment to that. Even if you're hiring that day, a new tech won't be able to realistically work same day, so there's no real 'loss' in 'realistic' terms.

(this holds for all versions, regardless of environment)
