Class OfficerSelector

java.lang.Object
mekhq.campaign.universe.commandGeneration.ratgen.OfficerSelector
public final class OfficerSelector extends Object
Ranks the people generated for a command by how well they would lead it.

The order is the one the retired AtB Company Generator used. Tactical Genius comes first: a person with the ability outranks anyone without it. After that the caller chooses which matters more, the person's combat experience level or the total of their Leadership, Strategy and Tactics skill levels; the other breaks ties. In a Clan command a Bloodname comes before everything: the Bloodnamed are the warriors the Clans put in command. The comparators here put the best person first.
