Proposal for a BOFF Captain

Since we are all flag officers, we should be able to slot a boff as the flagship's captain. doesn't have to be overkill on powers or anything, maybe the ability to slot an additional lt level non specialty power, (tacs could slot a sci or eng power) yes it is power creep, but lets be real, flag officers do not command ships

    Many, many moons ago Cryptic (or rather the former EP) was theorizing about a first officer/captain officer system. But that was years ago and the concept vanished into obscurity.

    I would like to have the option to take one or more boffs and use them to equip you personal "fleet support" by making them (provisional?) captains and replace the generic support ship with a fully customizable ship from your personal fleet, maybe even with commands to control them in combat. But that's the only use I could see, on the ships I control I am the captain and I will always be a/the captain.​​

    I remember an old mention from a DEV about the eventual possibility of promoting BOFFs to ship captains, so that you would command a squadron of ships in space, like an Away Team on the ground. IIRC, it was something like 4 of your old BOFFs commanding 4 of your old ships. THAT would rock! Sadly, it has yet to come to pass.
