I have seen other posts, but just want clarification on the reason that it is intended that captaincy cannot be passed on to another crew mate if the captain of the ship has to log off.
As soon as the ship is no longer captained, all progress and supplies just go out the window because you have to leave and go into a completely new server.
Would it be possible to add a feature to vote up a new captain, similar to voting someone in the brig? This would be so helpful, especially when playing in open crews, to make sure that your community is getting the most out of the captaincy role.
I really hope this was an oversight, and not intentional by the devs.
