Re: Captains and Governors
I really Like the idea of having specialist crew components, especially the graded captains. I think that certain racial techs should produce specialized crew/captains. For example, psyhic races should be able to get captains whose vastly superior psychic powers act as a 40 odd member security squad for boarding defense and also maybe a free level one psychic sensor ability for the ship. Organic races could produce "genetically engineered" or even "genetically perfect" (think 5th element) captains who also provide extra security (being able to single-handedly massacre whole squads of lesser creatures) and provide extra bonuses combat bonuses to the whole ship (due to naturally superior intellegence and the whole biological computer thing). Of course, a high level of research in the appropriate racial tech along with whatever research is necessary to get high-grade captains in the first place would be required to get the racial tech captains, and the point cost of the racial techs might have to be tweaked a bit for balance.
Anyway, just a few quick ideas....
