Are we going to see any Governors or Captains in the game at some point? I noticed that the Editor has Bonuses for their appearance % and quality.

Captains are gone but Governors should still appear.

Planetary governors are fine but captains just screw up fleet cohesion when you have a bunch with negative bonus making a fleets ships have different hyper speeds, weapon ranges and such. Captains would make sense if the combat was more geared to small scale fights but by the time you get to mid game you should have multiple fleets with dozens of ships each. Admirals make far more sense with that mechanic.

It would be neat if admirals only appear from captains. That is, you only get captains initially, who eventually turn into admirals with experience.

That's a good idea. I don't know if it will happen....GP

I have never seen a governor. And I used the editor to give myself a quadrillion extra chance to spawn them to see them once.

FYI the editor Quality and Spawn Chance modifiers don't really seem to work. They certainly don't work if you set them to Empire. They might be working if you set them to Item, but I haven't really seen a difference when I was testing it.
