HI, i think your idea is quite interesting!
i'm actually organising every friday evening lan games, as we can't afford retail games and anyway i m a fs2scp fan , i organise freespace mp.
the problem is : I got 12 computer and team game are 8 player limited, so i thought about something to bypass this limit :
we have 2 team of pilot (bomber and interceptor) for each team we have 1 commander (experimented player )who joined the game as observer (lincked with player by teamspeack) his objective is to coordinate and to help his teammate with key (yes i got 80% of noob player and only one team on 4 could take down cap ship!)
For your mod i was thinking about the voice recognition released already made by someone on this forum :
why not use voice recongition to order the capship as a captain (adama style

) would do in many sf movie or series? and bring up teamgame cap to 12 player (10 pilots and 2 commander)
i think it would looks great!
something like :
"Push the engine to 30% of its power!"
"pitch up 30° now"
etc....
if you can do this , you ll have hte CAPSHIP mod! imho
