Perhaps have the drag link on the career branch assignment, then when you drag to the career history section on the character sheet it fills in both the career and branch assignment field. Then having the current survival, advancement and commission checks being recorded in the character sheet for a button on the personal tab to survive or to advance. It would be really nice in the career history list to have the term age or numbers, on main tab have the current age. Age has a significant place in Traveller creation, and also aging rolls while traveling, so having a field to keep track of current age isn't really superfluous.
Also, it would be really nice on the career record(what you bring upon the career sidebar button), to have the links to the appropriate skill, event and mustering out benefit rolls on the specific career record. I found myself when I tried character creation bouncing back and forth from the reference manual, to the career record and then having to search the tables list to find the appropriate skill, event or benefits table. having links on the career record to the specific tables would speed up thing and make it much easier.
Also, the 2 image files that contain the character creation flow chart, are really useful, especially for the New user. I would suggest having a sidebar button that
would bring up those two image files, instead of having to search the image directory for them.
Also, I think more thought needs to be done on the Create PC sidebar selections, for a non-GM player trying to make a character. He would need access to the career and race tabs, and unless the links are added to the career sidebar record, access to the tables sidebar menu too, to successfully be able to build a character. Another reason to add the skill table, other tables to the career sidebar record.
I know that adding those links to the career records might be time-consuming, and I sure don't want to slow your advancement along for the catalog and high guard modules, perhaps you could farm out that grunt task to some willing grunt/prole(if you are a secret Zhodani hiding out on earth, it should be an easy task to make the grunt/prole want to complete this task quickly and efficiently with every bit of his will. He will love doing this..must complete early..must complete without bugs... He will be sooo pleased).
Anyway.. my suggestions
