I think that there is no big difference who will give you a ship ( council or specters) cuz specters are under the council and directed by the council and all missions given by the council. btw some unserious missions like " to find ingredients for cooking" were pretty good. we need smth different not just saving the universe but be involved in normal life, simple dialogues with crew plus it give us interesting info about the crew, so we need such missions. way too boring "fight for the lost" in every single mission. (plus if you don't like those missions, no one said that you have to pass such missions, just skip it).

You also mentioned that specters can follow democracy rules or smth like that? sounds unbelievable. back to this trilogy we all know that they can do whatever they want if they want to gain "mission succeded". remember what Saren did with this factory in first ME book? "specters are last line of defense". they can do everything to save the universe and all this voting stuff can't be guarantee of the democracy Krogans and democracy? no way. also you said about the oldest specters ( just reminds me that lifespan of salarians around 40 years) but never mind. not the point. And remember the asari specter (Tela Vasir) who worked for the Shadow Broker and used not really democracy methods? no one can give you a guarantee that you will work for the good.

Also in trilogy I like this stuff - "Commander, you've received a new message at your private terminal". hope that BioWare will save this option and will improve it ( incoming video calls etc.)
