Making Characters Global

Description

As requested, I'm submitting a feature request to find some way to easily and simply transfer characters between ships while maintaining the admin powers to create and modify.

I know we discussed the Audience feature being used for that purpose but I got the impression that that method was a poor and unintended side affect of the module. So, here we are.

This project request may also lead to another request that I will just put out there now. Since we are discussing making characters "global" in a limited fashion, I am betting with all the cutbacks in ships that some people may want to be able to remove characters temporarily from a ship without losing the character. The only potential problem I saw this creating was one of clutter (having several unused character nodes lying around), but if there was a way to do so while still leaving character creation and modification in board admins hands, I would then be up to the board admins to make sure that they aren't continually creating unused characters for one person.
