Background
Many people question the decision by Fleet Admiral Hunter Dunbar to have the rank of Fleet Captain use the pips of a Captain with the solid gold line beneath it, rather than five gold pips. The decision came down to the fact that the rank of Fleet Captain is honorary, so it doesn't deserve a fifth pip, just something to seperate it from other Captains.
