Just a thought, but it would be cool to be able to color code or even create or assign ranks to individual pesonnel. no real gameplay advantage but it could help with easier identification of who is who or assigned to what/with what training. especially when searching through in the academy rosters to add people to class.
Examples
i can make all personnel assigned to a certain Engine all red and another all blue in the same station.
For simulation purposes i could make all people with certain training a certain color or if i wanted to have captains, lietentants, chiefs i could color code them.
Again no real gamplay advantage, more so just a cool organization tool
