I'm really interested in seeing a warband style management section wherein you can give officers of appropriate level control of some of your ships for various things, such as "wait here" or "patrol area" or "protect this colony"
Reason being: I prefer the speed of frigate combat and sometimes want to chase down smaller fleets; sometimes it's really fun to take on smaller bounty/system bounties(you know, the bounties where you get baseline reward per ship) and having my massive capital ship/station breaker fleet is really not conducive to that; besides, sometimes I really need to leave my fleet to protect a colony while I take my search and destroy destroyer fleet to mop up stragglers/go take a few smallish boutnies to keep credits rolling in.
It's worth mentioning I play with mods that add in essentially station level craft, so burn speed can really tank in my games.
Anyway I think it would still be a good addition to vanilla, and I'm sure you're already thinking about it, but I just wanted to hopefully drum up some support for it to come in the next big update.
