I don't know if assigning a number of ships needed before being able to build flagship would work. Questions from other Posts here bring up valid questions, as to what happens when you fall below that number etc. Also what would we do with the training facilities if we base experience or attach experience to flagships and still make them important in the game? Maybe base it on fleets. If you have say 5 fleets, you would be able to build up to 5 flagships, as your fleets increase, this would allow you to build up to that number but no more. Then you would have choice of either building them or not depending on the cost and what you could afford. once built, they remain in the game and count towards whatever number is assigned even if you fall below the number of fleets. The training facilities could still train up to whatever limit is set, but with a flagship present it would give an experiece bonus above (pick a number) above what it currently has. Therefore, you could train your fleet but would pick up the additional bonus only with a flagship present...I hope I explained this right....

just some ideas mac
