Assigning fleet crew

[Skillz]

Trying to assign crew to fleet ships it’s very frustrating when you have more than 1 crew type like payload specialist or missile tech, you don’t know which ones are assigned or not and end up removing assignment from another ship. Am I missing some trick ?

Unfortunately you're not missing anything.

I think the order in which they show in the list on the fleet command terminal is based on the order in which you recruited them to work for you. So, the first-listed Payload Specialist (for example) would always be the first listed one, etc. So you can know the first listed one is on, perhaps, your first listed ship, the second one on the second ship, etc.

Granted, assuming that is true, it could be thrown off if something happens to knock one of them out of your crew pool. Say the first one leaves your employ, now the "second" one is "first."

I think kinggath said on a stream not long after WT launched that they are still hoping to be able to ultimately use the vanilla assignment screen to assign to fleet ships but they haven't been able to make that work yet.

Yes. It was in his "kinggath plays watchtower stream on youtube."
He said it was possible to see in the ship crew UI which crew is assigned where. But bethesda need to change something so crew can be assigned in the normal crew UI. They know their console is "clunky". It will improve eventually.
Until then... notepad I guess.
Ps, go watch the kinggath plays. He says a lot of interesting great stuff.
Also some of the other devs are in the live chat, saying more interesting stuff. So turn that on too

From 1:00:00 he talks about the terminal
