Excellent, thank you!! (And sorry for not seeing that oops) If that's the case, can someone opt to abandon their armada if they perceive the bureaucracy to be too much, or is the main option to switch sides? (Not saying this would happen immediately, I'm mostly just curious)

EDIT: one more question while I'm here -- can crews be unaffiliated with an Armada or do they need to subsist between one or the other?
