In some cases, however, it becomes necessary to assign a new fleet commander. For example:
- Player wants to assign a better-suited ship as fleet commander.
- Player wants to repurpose the current fleet commander.
- Fleet name.
- Fleet commander configured behaviour.
It would be useful for the player to be able to carry out this type of action via additional context menu actions:l
- If player selects a ship, and right-clicks the fleet commander, include the "Replace Fleet Commander" action.
- If player right-clicks a direct subordinate in a fleet, include the "Promote to Fleet Commander".
- If player right-clicks an indirect subordinate in a fleet, include the "Promote to Fleet Commander" and "Promote to Wing Commander" actions.
Since replacement of fleet commander will be covered by the upcoming 7.50 release, I have decided to strip parts of this suggestion related to that one. I am unaware if the upcoming feature will cover the manual fleet commander replacement as well.
