The ship restriction to rank sounds like a good idea, and would work well in both SF eyes, and outsider's eyes. However, it could be more flexible, and more rigid at the same time. I think that it would be beneficial to have designated roles for each battleship. For example, as of right now, the Repulse is in charge of Battlegroup Stormpike. This ship could operate independently of all of the other ships that are under its command. These other ships could be any range of ships from LF to BS. For example, the Repulse operates out of Leeds. However, because Newcastle is also under this jurisdiction, a different BS might operate out of this system. Edinburgh is also under this jurisdiction, but due to the fact that it is used less than Leeds, NL, etc., it may not require a battleship. This could be a destroyer, maybe even a gunboat.

Now, according to the above system, it would mean that any rank could end up with command of a system. This would mean that a rank requirement would need to be placed here. According to the new rank system, the command of a certain system would be placed under a captain (possibly a commander) or higher. This would mean that a lower ranking person could fly a larger ship, but the higher ranking person could still give orders and "pull the strings," so to speak. However, dependent on this system, it would mean that the captains would have either a battleship or cruiser depending on the system under their ship's "control." For example, Newcastle, while large, might not need a battleship due to the minimal usage, but New London, Cambridge, and Leeds would.
