Some officers will be promoted and remain i their department. A captain may be an engineer, heading the engineering of a starbase, or cheif engineer of a development project (Scotty and the Excelsior). A councilor may be promoted to captain, and head the Counciling Section of Starfleet Command. Some officers will be promoted to Captain and give up engineering, ect. and simply command. Depends on what your players want for their character; and what works for your game.</font>

In my campaign officers don command red when they take charge of a multi-branch unit, or are special staff to command officers.

I like the idea of letting him figure out a new method of communication. Thx.

Everything said up to now is how I've been running my campaign, except for that multi-department head idea...I like it...I like it alot . I'll probably include that in my campaign.

Anyone have a take on the disadvantages and if they slow down progress of a character?

Hey Eric...So what if Vinnie picked a Cairn? Ever heard of equal opportunity and freedom for all?

I talked to him and he said he'll stick to ship's counselor. I told him he has to figure out a new method of communication with the crew. And Eric remember Psi abilities, if the other psionicists take the Cairn language they can speak to him psionically.
