Captain-Only Volume
We have seen this feature in the Nimbus adventure zone, and Taco has said adding it to the foundry is a possibility, but this was several months back (in fact I think it was last year). But imagine the possibilities of removing bridge officers!
I would very much like to see this added to the foundry. Please show your interest by replying to this thread: hopefully if we get enough support then the devs might take serious notice. (After all, they are working hard at other features and we can't expect them to look at every minor request, but this would be instrumental to authors to allow complete immersion.)

"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

that to me seems like a more plausible reason for its delay. A captain only volume on its own creates a slew of new problems, so it needs to be implemented after making other game mechanic changes and there is no way to know if that kind of NPC scaling already has code ready to deploy or if it needs to be created.
But yes, a captain only volume (as long as other auxiliary functions are implored) would be welcome.

There's also several mob groups that just plain don't work properly the way they have it set up. Voth and Vaadwaur ground mobs, for example: depending on the RNG a boss-level (captain-rank) mob for the Vaads could mean either an Overseer or one of their tanks, and can you imagine the possible uses for a Voth mech if we could actually be sure they would drop 100% of the time?

I also support this.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.

So long as the options are there, I imagine they will be used.
