Good write up
The main issue that I face is getting everyone together. I normally have to spend a lot of brain power just to get people to play together, that its hard to keep things organized. Its also not often that we have enough players on to man multiple ships to need organization like this, which is the primary reason why you don't see it much.
This may change however once we are able to play a game mode that actually matters. Capture Wars will change things for the better, and give us more purpose, which will in turn require more communication.
One last note, I also frequently play with people not in the fleet, and some of them don't know what they are doing. Its hard to have a serious game when you have to train someone on the spot on how Engineering works, like that happened this past Monday.
Don't worry, we will aspire to get more organized, making Conungi a Captain was the first step in making 'squads', if we ever have more than 10 people on, then we can continue to promote and let others have their own ships or fighter squadrons.
