Is it possible to give a Champion-player control of any of my fleet?

[Blahness]

My friend loves playing as a champion, but I'd like to give him some accompanying ships to use (or partial/full fleet control) so that we can multitask more easily.  He doesn't want to manage research or technology or expansion, and only wants to fly the fleets - is there any way I can gift him control over my units, or give them to him for him to use, if he's a Champion player?

Hit the CTRLs screen, and it should be the second option down:

This reminded me of an old suggestion for on Champions. I should probably put it on Mantis.

Default control of allies would be great.  But even more awesome would be an easy way to take control of allied ships permanently (switching them to your player color and allowing the original owner to replace them as them as they aren't counted against his ship cap).  Each Champion would have a Command value which was the maximum number of ships he can control (might need to be scaled off original ship type cap so high cap ships don't get the short end).  Maybe something small like 5-10 to start, but probably improvable via the talent tree or just leveling to eventually one full cap of normal ships.  That would give the Champion player the feeling of being the leader of a small elite squad going out to achieve some objective.
