User blog comment:Void Samukai/Ship's use: Creator vs Leader/@comment-10905876-20160220230527

I believe that control of a ship rests somewhere in the middle, leaning more towards the rights of the creator. I believe that creators have most of the control over their ships, they decide what they do in a fight (for the most part) and generally control production and such. But, the leader of a navy is the leader for a reason. They have a say on what happens to a ship, as they are the boss. Commissioning a ship in a navy means that that ship is, to some degree, the responsibility of the leader, as well as the creator. Depending on the leader's actions, a ship of yours may end up completely out of your control; I should know as that happened to the NARNS Viscount, which served in multiple navies without me even being a member of said navies.
