Ok, so I've finally figured out how to make separate Staff Officer positions and how to move these staff groups to other planets, or in my case, to another ship. So according to the screenshot below, it appears that I have a fully functional staff officer group that is now assigned to a mobile ship with a Flag Bridge.
Now, what I'm trying to do next is to assign a combat fleet to this command unit in order to take advantages of the bonuses from the command structure. What I have attempted so far looks like this:
So... is this correct? If I have the ships listed above in the same system as the ship with the flag bridge, will they receive the corresponding bonuses of their assigned staff officer group? I'm concerned because in the first screenshot above, it's still showing that no task groups are assigned, even though according to the second screenshot, there definitely is (or at least I think so).
Help! What am I missing? I've tried looking online but the Wiki is garbage on this topic, and even SerBeardian in his recent video touches on the subject only in passing.
