I recommend using as slow a research rate as possible, though, since the pace of operations as a commander means your ship will tend to be out-of-date after every cruise or two, otherwise.

As long as you keep your ship fueled up it doesn't override your orders, correct? You just can't stray too far from the resupply depots? Also, might be good to have your ship fitted with an emergency resupply comp when it's avaialable.

As far as your ship being out of date, stop at the nearest space yard and order a retrofit. That goes down as a ship order so should be his perogative, yes?

This does sounds like a very cool way to play, although it might be a bit akward for a multiplayer game on PBW.
