I dont know if has been suggested before, but I have a vague idea of having more variety in positions available in alliance...until now I see only First Officer but maybe there could some differenciation and inventing positions which will give some advantage to person who is assigned to it. For example, something like general in IO which gives for example 2% bonus to strenght or attack, or some bonus for crafting or faster spirit recovery...It will be added advantage to those who specialize in particular professions and make gameplay more complex...
