I don't think it adds all that much to the game. Personally, I dislike the special ship counter thing; it's a free conversion from CA->CC, or in bad circumstances a free downgrade from CF to CC (I've certainly paid more for the CF than I would for a CC, I'm also never going to see that CF again -- due to production limits). If we must have the rule, it should be Commodore counters that can be assigned to ships.

As the rule is proposed? I certainly don't think the universe is ready for that. It's way too powerful.
Since it appears that reaction to treating leaders specially ranges from apathy to violent opposition, I think there's really no place for commodores. They only way they make sense is if a level of organization below the battle force exists in F&E -- which is where the leaders come in -- because if it doesn't, then commodores should probably be abstracted into the background noise just like engineering officers are.

Why do LC's not protect agianst SFG's? the LC is always given the form bonus and a ship in the form bonus position cannot be the target of a SFG. So it would seem to me logical that the LC's ship couldn't be the target of a SFG.

Historicaly one might consider Lord Cochran from scotland as a legendary commodore. He didnt get on with the powers that be - leading support to the no LCs if admiral pressent view. Most of his antics involved a few small ships and land assults. Not line of battle stuff
Looking at the captians log proposal I think its way too powerfull and not in spirit of individual unique elite commanders.
LCs get the form bonus benefit from being to use an age of sale term smart ships not from skuling at the back

Please discuss any legendary commodore proposals in this topic.
