"Admiral's Squad" Missions

So, I've just now hit Admiral. (Yeah, I know, shocking, right? I've been taking my time, and enjoying it.) The suggestion (although I'm sure that I'm not the first to come up with it) I've been thinking about most recently:

I have 5 ships at my command, one from each tier. I also have the energy credits to requisition another T5 ship, or maybe even two. It's really neat having all of these ships at my command, but I don't really have much reason to switch between them. But I don't really want to switch between them: I'd love to see a set of missions where I can bring all of my ships to the fight. I'd love to spread my Bridge Officers around all of my ships (possibly with fresh Captain promotions in their hands) and command my bridge officers in their ships somewhat like I can do on ground missions.

I could imagine huge STFs where multiple Admirals might bring their full "squads". It might make for some interesting PvP missions to have missions with full or partial squads, too (albeit I imagine it might be hard to balance).

    Use your old ships in space the way you use bridge officers on the ground? Now there's an idea. It would certainly dis-incentiveize selling all of your old ships' components as you advance.

    This has been suggested before, and it's just as good a suggestion now as it was then.

    I've seconded this idea every time it's popped up and will continue to do so.

    I'd like to see content that is "gated" by the tier of ship you're flying as a resaon to dust off older ships as a Rear Admiral.

    Either content that is restricted to "Tier X or lower ships" to enter (ala EVE) or being "sectioned off" in Fleet Actions based on the Tier of the ship you're flying instead of your Rank (like it is currently).
