Gambits for squadrons please?

It would be nice, but I'm not aware of any reason to actually DO command missions. It's just an exceptionally long dungeon run which rewards only a small amount of EXP to the squadron. The item drops aren't even worth it, since the dungeons are all low-level.

It rewards YOU a load of xp (I went from 20 to 24 in one Halatali command mission) and you get to keep all loot, again if you run them to level classes. And even for squadron, it rewards less xp than a normal mission but doesn't take 18h. Also, some of us want to avoid pugs.

That said their AI makes those runs hell, now I have no clue whatsoever what gambits are but any way to make their AI better would be much welcome indeed.

It's good for people leveling low level alt classes/job. Lots of dungeon exp without any queue.
And because you're in control you get to decide whether to do a full clear of ALL mobs for exp or not.
With rested exp, it's an excellent alternative to potd spam. Without rested exp, it's a slightly inferior alternative to potd spam, but good for people who are just sick of potd...

The AI can be challenging (though often still better than pugs), though I find it mostly fine.It was mainly the healer AI that bothered me and they made it better for 4.2. Some people also complain about the tank AI but I use engage/disengage to force it and just take on the job of a tactician.

If I could be tactician with gambits though, that'd be even better.

While the drops aren't amazing, since they're all for me I equip them on my leveling classes (ALL of my ARR/HW non-magic are < 50) if it's an upgrade, then use the rest for GC to turn into Coke or something else I can sell. This means I get to gear them as I level pretty easily without ever spending anything.
