Add Captain or leader to the Vehicle Articles

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

Currently on the Vehicle Article you can have an owning organization and owner. But the captain of a ship is rarely the owner. He is the most important person on a ship, and I would hope he could be called out separately.

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Adding a connection to a character improves finding important characters on a vehicle.

What are other uses for this feature request?

None, that I can think of.

The Team's Response

Thanks for the suggestion! We will add a free-form BBCode text field to the sidebar labelled "Crew". The reason we're not adding a "captain" field is that not all crews have a leader, and not all leaders are captains.   Additionally, you can also use the --KEY::VALUE-- BBCode on the sidebar to create custom fields. For example, the following code:   --Captain::Spooky Bob--   Will generate the following (adapted to your world's style):  
Captain
Spooky Bob

    I'd use this for sure. But I also have to think about all the vehicles where they do not use 'captain' how about those? It might be easer to use the Key-Value bbcode to achieve this and be able to make it captain,skipper,pilot,driver,etc.etc.

    A way to list previous captains, and/or "leading rank" would also be great.

    This is another QoL thing that should absolutely be implemented regardless of vote, IMO. The more connections we can make will only improve how real our worlds will feel!
