Okay, so before anyone suggests or thinks it, this isn't a moan about the Admiralty System introduced in Season 11. That said, I'm fairly certain that when people were asking for better use of their ships-in-dock, they weren't expecting a second Duty Officer System. Is a system where we can use a number of our ships to aid us in combat in space, like Bridge Officers do on the ground, possible?

I'm not suggesting every player at level #60 suddenly jumps into every space map with four other ships at their disposal, maybe it would be productive to limit that number too an additional two ships (the one you're flying, plus two helpers), and then restrict the ability to have the assistance to certain missions or queued content. No doubt a system can be set up to allow for this?

Allow players to provide their assisting ships with some powers (maybe four; like a bridge officer on ground); some as standard, then other abilities could be provided in mission rewards, lock boxes and such. Similar to the trait system we have now, just we'd be issuing traits to starships rather than ourselves. Save your assisting ships being destroyed (like we go boom sometimes) if they take too much fire, just have them disabled and have us needing to go and revive them (as we would on ground). Also, allow players to equip those ships with whatever gear they own. Might even entice people to look into buying more than one set if they've currently only invested in one. Let our configurations be kept too, and our choices of material and windows.
