Right. No Strategic Orders from high command, but somebody will have to give the local orders. (Perhaps a friend or sibling or child or parent would be appropriate ?)

Hehehe. "Come here Johnny. I need you to control Beta fleet."

Actually what I had in mind is the player would still control the ships, but with a different Role Play "hat" on. You would have to put yourself in the the shoes of the admiral or captain and decide what you would do in that situation without recent knowledge of events outside your system. If your orders were to proceed to the Cewandi system, you would continue on that course unless an enemy fleet appeared in the same system you are in. But if the enemy was attacking colonies in the systems behind you, you would not get to go back and defend them unless you had a FTL comm or were in range of another colony.
