It could be tonnage based, though - e.g. ship A has a command rating of 1200, so it could command three light cruisers, or one baseship...
edit: or to make it even MORE complicated, there could be a hull/component attribute called "command complexity", and a ship's command complexity is the sum of its hull complexity and its component complexity, and Ratings are assigned based off of command complexity, and then each ship could have a command rating of how many complexity points it could command - cargo bays are not very complex compared to particle beams so a ship could command more transports than battlecruisers, for instance...
Hmm, this whole "command" thing would probably work better for LEADERS (i.e. Captains, Admirals, etc.) which are (IIRC) something Aaron wants to do if he has time...
