Currently, your new battleship has to travel, perhaps many parsecs and at considerable fuel cost, to pick up its commanding officer from wherever he lives. How about a Starfleet HQ building which allows officers to be deployed from any world at a central location? The officer is still tied to his actual homeworld with all the usual restrictions.
I have a relative who used to command a submarine - now, I never actually saw him going aboard, but I have a vague assumption that they would order him to report to Portsmouth, rather than trying to send the submarine up the tiny river to his house in Chichester.
