Meanwhile a little more feedback that came to my mind yesterday.
This mod is great for recording a soldier's history and the commendations so far work like collecting cards - I'm trying to get as many as possible for my elite squad.
There seems to be also two types of commendations - the ones you get by doing regular actions (reaching certain numbers for killing aliens, missions on areas, using specific weapons) and the ones you get by doing crazy and/or risky stuff (Man Of Steel, Black Cross, Iron Man, Star of Value, etc.). However all of these medals are given automatically upon certain conditions and none is given directly by the player.
So, what may be interesting to explore would be:
* Separate better the proficiency commendations from the medals for exceptional actions.
* One thing that would help would be if it's possible to give ranks for the commendations list order, so that exceptional medals are always on top. If I have a soldier that has earned Man Of Steel, that award is much more satisfying to look at than nearly all others and I shouldn't need to scroll down the list to see it.
* Another idea would be to have different screens from both proficiency commendations and exceptional medals. You'd use the commendations screen to keep track of a soldier's progress (which this mod is tailor made to do so) and the medals screen to enjoy the crazy/heroic stuff he/she has done. It would be also nice that the medal's info includes details of the mission where it was earned.
* Finally add the possibility of the player awarding specific medals to soldiers. While playing I sometimes wanted to give a soldier an additional medal because he/she did actions that although not recorded made a significant contribution.
Another suggestion, of a graphical nature: it might look better if the commendations have a border (see attached pic) or if more different colors are used because when some ribbons are next to the other and have similar colors it completely makes them lose their individual shape.
