Skipper by Rank by Tonnage

[kristof65]

I would say enlisted assignments are probably by sub-sector, junior officer ones by sector and flag officer ones by domain. One can put in for an assignment out of the area, but whether or not you got it approved would depend on staffing levels, timing and just plain luck.

While the IN wouldn't likely send someone across a sector, ship movements will likely be known to some degree - at least for auxilary ships - meaning someone transferring from Mora to Rhylanor or Glisten to Regina could be put to work enroute in a temporary duty.

In fact, it wouldn't surprise me to have certain ships in who rotate crews at nearly every stop because they are essentially "transfer ships".

Sorry to burst a nice idea, of course you could always blame it on being Monday ;-)

So in Traveller maybe it would be the size of your jump that makes a distinction?

Tweren't much of an idea :roll: ..Yeah - I'll take the Monday defense!

Transfer crews? Sounds like the last ship you'd want to be on - no one really experienced with the ship's particular quirks!

Not that this wouldn't be exactly the thing a massive bureaucratic organization would do!

Good plot fodder!
