Leveling up Commanders

I have a question about Commanders: atm the game can level up citizens only when they are assigned to a planet. But Commanders never are! So there should be a correspondig game mechanic that levels up Commanders that are assigned to a fleet (either based on time or based on battles).

Or is there something that I'm not aware of?

They level up. The code is in CommandComponentDefs.xml in the EXP2_Crusade\Game folder. Its based on Kills/Anomaly exploration. The only 2 ways ships level up.

Ok, I have to check that. I wrote above post when I noticed the Commander of one of my oldest fleet having still level 1.

Hm, I see the code in CommandComponentDefs.xml where the Commander is simply defined as ship module that increases hitpoints when the ship is leveling up. In the game I see the level of my command ships, but when I click on "Promote" the Commander is shown with level 1 and no additional stats (except "Commanding") in the promotion screen. That's a bit disappointing, I would have expected the commander to increase the other stats (movement bonus, logistics bonus) with increasing level.
