now i think that the captain should be able to pass control of the ship over to another player temorarily when he gets tired of piloting whenever he wants. of course, we cant have that player with buttons that only the captain should be allowed to use so, obviously we need to make it so that the captains chair is loyal to whoever ordered the shipyard to construct it. We also cant have an annoying chat screen in the captains face while driving SO, the chat screen is invisible to the driver. this means the captain cant tell the person he passed control to temporarily to get out of the chair. PROBLEM SOLVED. the owner of the ship (the captain) can right click the chair at any time and the person on the chair will be forced out as the captain takes control of the ship again. this option is only available to the captain. good idea?

The captain doesn't control the ship. Typically on a bridge you'll have over 5 people, 20+ on a capital ship. Your navigator/pilot would be controlling the ship, and your weapons officers would have overall command of the laser batteries, etc. And the captain gives orders to them all, and can leave whenever they feel like it and leave their XO in control. XO's would have to be actual players as well unless it's an AI ship, but I don't think there should be convoluted countermeasures; you should have to be careful about who you give power to, and who to blast out the airlock.

What about when you don't have 5 people on to fly your ship?

Indeed. I want to be able to have a fleet of hundreds of ships, all controlled by me. I don't need to control ever laser cannon, but the fleet should jump when I tell it to and obey general orders, such as 'Reinforce the left flank!' or 'Concentrate fire on the battlecruiser!'.

There would be two types of ships - NPC ships and Human ones. NPC ships are crewed, of course, entirely by NPCs which aren't rendered unless you're on the vessel, and would be controlled by a fleet core on your flagship. Player ships are still composed of NPCs, but with players in administrative positions. The amount is as much as you want; one could command a vessel fully crewed by NPCs, but I think having a human XO as well should be a requirement, seeing as Squadron Commanders wouldn't know who has the mettle to command a battleship or be relegated to a backwater scout craft.
