Doesn't "flagship" just designate the ship with the fleet admiral, and not a special design? If anything, it'd be the Fleet Leader in each fleet, and there should be severe consequences of having that ship destroyed in combat (or, for that matter, of transferring it to another fleet -- either the fleet experience should be reduced, or it should stay but the ship's experience is reduced).
