On second thoughts - replace this by:

Each ship has a Command Factor equal to 1% of its NPV (rounded to
nearest whole number, minimum of 1 (maybe have special rules for small
craft?).

Each ship can, if used as a command ship, command a total command factor
of ships equal to 4 times its Command Factor in addition to itself.

A Flagship can command a number of squadrons such that the total Command
Factor of the command ships of each squadron does not exceed 4 times the
Command Factor of the Flagship.
