I have pmed you Flyer about these things and until I say otherwise you are second in command of HF and hold a pretty good rank in AW (I hope) Dab if you thought any differently then this merge may not take place Flyer is second in command does get a vote in HF matters and his duties will not change that much he is my second in command and if he keeps showing exemplary talent as my Executive Officer I may make him a grand admiral giving him the same authority as I currently have making him co-leader of HF.
EDIT: I have just seen your post Dab, I like that idea but he is in 2nd command of HF fleet nothing less and if there ever there ever is a secondary fleet he will command it assuming he doesn't get promoted.
