That can work,, adding a button to just open up the commander's tablet is a great idea. I did come up with 2 ideas to skip time.
1. The MC has the option to perform document work for the Slayer Federation. This task can be completed either in the MC's bedroom or office. The MC can choose when to end the task, selecting from options such as 'Morning' or 'Afternoon,' etc. Depending on the amount of time invested, the MC will receive a substantial amount of credits.
2. I think that changing the 'Pass time (Advance time)' menu option to include additional choices would be pretty good. After selecting it, three options would appear: 'Skip to Afternoon,' 'Skip to Evening', 'Skip to Night'.
