I didn't read any of the above posts, but I'm pretty sure that command is just a delegate of the ranking officer of the ships in the area. They oversee the operation in the field, and if anything crazy happens, they phone the commander, who is on the same ship/station.

Well I just played the mission with the communication ship and it says it communicates with systems.  That's plural so one must be enough to communicate several systems.  Of course it says nothing about real time so who knows.

Command's a black guy. I think that's good enough.

Welcome to the HLPBB!!!

Ehm...what's wrong with black guys?

You mean the Beta Aqulae com  station?

Saying it communicates with other systems is likely saying one network communicates with another. Does that mean that each computer in one network communicates directly with a computer in the other one? Nope, f'course not.
So you prolly have a comm station in every system and they route traffic.

I still think command communicates from another system.

I think it too, at least that happens in Apocalypse. Command's voice was not the voice of a person risking his life because of a supernova...

Maybe this is who Command really is ?



WMCoolmon made it

LOL, that's good!

It also explains why command makes dumb decisons and doesn't care about human life as much as he should do!!
