It would be cool if you expanded this to intel squad @Kitsunemitsu |
| var/rng_fireteam = pick("FT1", "FT2", "FT3") | ||
| assign_fireteam(rng_fireteam, M) |

I'll admit I haven't looked at the entire functionality but if you're going with automatic assignment I would personally fill the fireteams evenly rather than randomly. As funny as it would be to roll the rng to have all the marines in one fireteam.

The odds of that are astronomicslly low. Its an easy fix though, but it lookd worse.

Very true but I just used the most extreme example to illustrate that - more likely is you'll have things like 4 marines in one fireteam and 1 and 1 in the others which just seems a bit off. But it's of course your choice I just think evening it out would be a better implementation here.
Unlike most squads intel is 3 people. |

About the pull request
Adds in 4 more fireteam leaders, one for each squad.
Marines automatically have their headset swapped to FTL instead of SL.
Sets up automatic Fireteams along this scheme:
Fireteam Leaders, Medics and Engis - Fill FT1 > FT2 > FT3
Specialist - FT1
Smartgunner - FT2
Marines - Fill randomly.
Possible Alternative 1
Fill FTLs in FT3 > FT2 > FT1
Set Spec/SG to FTL until one wakes up
Possible Alternative 2
Remove FTL role Slot back to 2 per round, Fill FTL1 and FTL2.
SG fills FTL3. (Possible bump back to CPL just like the good old days)
Spec goes to FT3
Marines are half as likely to join FT3.
Explain why it's good for the game
FTL is just a Cpl rank PFC+. This PR makes them more useful by automatically assigning Fireteams, and encourages Marines to stick with their FTL by automatically setting their headsets.
This may lead to a more Platoon-like structure, with smaller squad-like cells.
I would at least like a test on this.
