GC First Lieutenant

[SaitoHikari]

I have a problem.

I have 3 archers. I want to go sob in a corner now, because I can't decide which ones I wanna boot, if at all.

I've got...
1 Conjurer (and my only healer)
1 Marauder
1 Gladiator
1 Lancer
1 Thaumaturge
3 Archers

That's what I get for maining Bard. If this later turns into some FF Tactics minigame, we're gonna rain so much death from afar. :/

(And the singing. Can't forget all the singing.)

EDIT: I just realized I can class change the Archers at will later on. Horray!

I thought you could boot members when you had 8/8 people? Is that not possible?

Yes, it's possible.

Woo! Rank 2 achieved! 6 new 20+ missions and attribute cap raised to 280!

[Roth_Trailfinder]

Congrats on reaching rank 2! Does that open up First Lieutenant promotion, or does it require a higher squadron rank?

Why am I 3 points short of req and yet the NPC tells me I'll pretty much fail?

You need to meet all the requirements for that one I think.

That makes sense. I'll find out in the morning...for science! :3

[Ramen]

which is why I'm making a little tool to help me calculate stuff and try combinations. Here are the stats of Ramen just above:

Hi, Thanks a lot for the tool development. I was asking the community before but seems most were clueless even to how complex the issue is, such as choose which 4 members out of 8 particular members, how to plan the 3 training sections...
So far, I'm using someone's Google Sheet to do the calculation, but your interface definitely looks much clearer.

Thanks for your help to the community.

PS... is it possible to put a 9th placement as "new enlistment"? Since you have to recruit or dismiss the first new enlistment in order to see next new enlistment, so one more place is ok... since new enlistment maybe can dramatically change everything...but, by doing so, will increase your data array tho @@:::

This doc received an update since someone datamined all the stats for all the units levels depending on their job. So manually setting the stats of your units is already obsolete. Same for the required missions' stats, we have everything 'til Lv.35.

But there's still room for improvements. For example, this doc from /u/FFXIV_Machinist makes you choose your recruits via their names... but that doesn't serve any purpose since you can change the class of your recruits, meaning that the link between the name of a recruit and its class isn't set in stone. Another thing is that toggling recruits in and out quickly isn't possible on that doc, you have to go down each dropdown list.

And I'm pretty sure that sooner than later we'll see real "squadron solvers" where you put all your raw stats and the tool tells you what's the best combination.
