Admiral double down

[Sulfurdown]

Can an Admiral take the same trait as his three selections for Admiralty? I don't see anything that would necessarily contradict this but it does seem to open the doors for abuse with certain race/trait combinations.

Shadow's with x3 Inspired Command for +12 Initiative.
Stuteeka with x3 Top Gun (not as big of a threat but still - you're not going to have any fighters left when that's through with your fleet)

I wouldn't as it feels like using the letter of the rules to defet the spirit.
But then admirals ARE expensive for what they do, so perhaps it's worth trying it. Let me know how it goes.

hmm I would think that would be a little dodgy

There maybe nastier combos for the Shadows and others - several analytical masterminds? several Top Guns?
