One possibility is having a variety of roles open: so one or two players can play admirals, one or two players can play commodores or captains in an admiral's battlegroup, someone can be an astartes or an Inquisitorial ship or battlegroup, etc?

Hmmm, that could work if people can work out what roles they want to play.
