New Patron Feature: Mercenary Favorites

If your list of mercs is anything like mine, it's getting tougher to pick out that half-dozen or so that you switch between all the time.  Even with the custom "Mini" display, acquiring more mercs means more scrolling and more searching.  Since we can't get rid of mercenaries once they end up in the list, and by default we can't reorder them, there's really only one good solution.

Enter the Mercenary Favorites list.  The Character window has been reworked to include a third display tab on the Mercs page where you can stash up to ten favorites from among your collection.  It uses the same abbreviated custom format as the Mini tab, so you'll never have to scroll to see all ten at once.

Ayel, Kammelle, Lhaffinatu, Morrigu and Rosyposy have been working with the new feature and everyone seems to agree that setting up the list is very easy to figure out.  The familiar Edit Mode button appears with the Favorites tab (see pic).  Editing is kid stuff with the floating Add/Remove button, and if you want to start over for any reason there's a "Wipe all favorites" control.

There are also several new URL buttons for researching details on your currently summoned merc, other mercs in your collection, and the mercenary category in general.  The old "Save" button for choosing your preferred view is gone -- a new internal mechanism automatically opens to the last tab (Full, Mini or Favorites) you had open.

That's most of the top-line features, so all that's left to do is give it a try!  Make sure you have v3.071 or higher of the Character window -- I made a couple of last-minute tweaks this morning after publishing v3.069.  Many thanks to our intrepid testers, and certainly thanks to all of our Darq Side members for making it possible to carve out development hours to bring this feature to you!
