Aug 13, 2020 at 21:01 comment added John @AlexP everything that is not medieval Europe or military ships would disagree. One of the reason it was hard to get navy sailors in England for instance is many normal sailors did not like the weird rigid hierarchy of naval ships which they did not have on other ships.

Jun 7, 2020 at 4:46 comment added TheDyingOfLight @AlexP Pirates provide a counterexample to your idea that a ship must be an absolute monarchy. While there was usually a Captain, the only time he couldn't be voted out of office was in a battle. Of cause, you don't usually play change the captain for fun, but such a system forces the captain to act way more considerate than an absolute monarch.

Jun 5, 2020 at 16:49 comment added Charisturcear I don"t think so. That may be for 'normal ships' with a crew up to a few hundred men, but we talk about a generation ship with 60k Inhabitants, the bigger part not working to keep the ship running but are teachers, doctors and work in other civil jobs. This is a mobile city. A democracy with a politicaly strong major as captain would be absolutely possible for example.
Jun 5, 2020 at 16:11 comment added AlexP The captain is not the "representative" of the crew: the captain is lord and God. Ships are not democracies. They never were, they never will be. The only possible system of government on a ship is absolute monarchy. Sorry.
Jun 5, 2020 at 15:58 comment added Charisturcear That would depend mainly on the reason for this journey. Why did they go on this flight? Are they leaving a homeworld near destruction, fleeing from discrimination and looking for a new home, an expedition force... Which type of government send them? A military dictatorship, an oligarchy, a parlamentarian democracy... If you could give us some of these facts I'm shure you will get some good answers.
