Class Design (F5), third/fourth tab depending on if the design is editable, middle of the page is a droplist showing minimum rank required. This propogates to all ships of that class. The design does not need to be unlocked to do this. There is also another number that rates importance of the ship for staffing purposes in case of equal rank requirements and insufficient bodies. Higher number = greater priority.
How do you set rank requirements for a class?
Rank requirements are set by class. So if your missile fighter is a different class than your other fighters, yes.
I was actually just wondering about this. Are you able to setup ranks required for specific ships? For example, is it possible to say my missile fighters is R2 so that I can throw my commanders in there rather than having to use captains?
Clarification:
Only beam fighters benefit from commanders with a fighter combat bonus. Any commander in any fighter may improve their combat bonus rating.
To prevent the fighter bonus from messing up promotion scores, simply never assign officers to fighters. Maybe they are commanded by NCOs only. If using auto-officer assignments crank the minimum promotion requirement up to R6 or higher to keep the game from making assignments when your back is turned.
