Hi Folks,
I was wondering how you manage your officers. Here is what I do: when I set up my ships, shuttles, fighters, PDCs, etc. I try to build up a reasonable officer structure. So 1st Ranks (Lt. Cmdr.) would be for fighters, basic PDCs and low level transports (like cargo). 2nd Rank (Cmdr.) would be important PDCs, medium level transports (like colonists, ammunition) and military support ships (like recco and jump ships). 3rd Rank (Captain) and above would be used for military ships of all kinds.
I would deem that as a "normal" structure which could be found in real life. Maybe I am wrong?
Problem is: if I don't build a large amount of small fighters or cargo transports, I quickly get into trouble not having enough 3rd Rank personell when using auto assign and not wanting to promote people for myself. So how do you build up your structure?
