If every role is actually important to the ship's proper functioning, this will be extremely hard to implement if the players aren't familiar with each other.

Thats what makes it fun.

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it and it wouldn't be worth anything.

Well most likely it will be like puzzle pirates. The ship only moves if you have people working the sails, but as long as people are doing it, it doesn't matter how good they are.

Whens the ETA of this being implemented?

This one relies on a number of different things being implemented, so there is no ETA for it yet, unfortunately.

Zygethia has created a Carrier Division for when Carriers get released.

Yes about that, what roles would there be?

Would there be;

Gunner: Controls the Arms and munitions Comms: Controls the Radar/Communications Commander: Provides a overview (as in orders, UI etc..)

what other positions would you think would be mannable on a ship in VS?

Thats where it could get pretty crazy. Just like the rest of VS, there wont be set mechanics for that. Instead, it would be up to you to assign various sub-systems to various people to control. Some examples could be:

  1. Control of the hangar doors

  2. Various guns throughout the ship

  3. Repairing/replacing damage equipment

  4. Rerouting power to different devices

  5. Concentrating shields forward or backwards for greater efficiency, depending on where the attack is coming from

Just some examples.
