Suggestion:
A perfectly useless slot/gadget that will allow a player to be colorful! Let's use GA's for instance that can no longer gain any further ranks, badges, etc... ... for every 5K prestige they earn, allow an additional gadget that will do something cool, like shoot off fireworks around a station, or maybe make the station glow an eerie green/blueish color for a while. May want to ensure it has a very long recharge time so it won't add to game latency issues. Kind of like a congratulations for gaining additional prestige seeing there is nothing left for those guys. Poor sap's! Using existing slots for gadgets may be practical with minimal coding changes. Feedback is most welcome. I originally considered the KEEP WHAT YOU KILL concept (aka, equip your enemy's gear if you kill them), although it seemed a bit tasking on the coding end of things. Thoughts?

Eg: Vice space marshall : Battle juggernaught
Space marchal :command juggernaught
Supreme space marshal : Assault juggernaught
Vice space marshal : 160k press
Space marshal : 320k press
Supreme space marshal : 640k press

ooh, sparkly!
I'd rather have an entirely useless gadget that glows than new uber-high-rank ships... personally.
Is there a reason you're rejecting it out of hand? I see a lot of that over here, and often from the same usual suspects. If its just "no added value; distracts from development" you could at least put that - its more of an opinion and fairer than "lolno."
Just an idle comment.

Same as Shig:
I'd rather have some rewarding things for people to play with, than add more ships that we really don't need. We have far too many in the game already.
More ranks at a later date : possible, and with that we can certainly add more ships, but for now, Grand Admiral is fine, and we have a nice small cache of ships to hand out to people who hit that rank.
I'm all for pink sparklers.

I always thought a "horn" gadget would be awesome. Roll up to Sag Hotha and hear the Dukes of Hazzord horn.

It would entierly be possible to have new ships that use the same layout as a regular ship and just add on sparklys
for instance (just picking random data for these because I don't know):
Battle Cruiser
Rank: Captain
Badges: Silver combat, bronze navigation
Admiral's Battle Cruiser
Rank: Vice Admiral
Badges: Gold Combat, Silver Navigation, Sirius Medal
+
as for colorful gadgets
suggestions:
- Change ship trail color
- Change color of lights on it
- Glow a certain color
- Change weapon colors
- Different status read-out in the bottom right when somebody selects you
I'm sure theirs plenty of ideas for colorful gadgets that do nothing. But really, right now, thats just icing on a cake. Right now, I think we should bake a good cake first.

Nooooo, if that happens it'll like years to get up to Supreme space marshal, and it'll be unfair for the enemey. Like the ships unfair.

Lifes unfair, mv is unfair! deal with it.
Anyways i also want more ranks. After becoming GA u realy dont have any goals to do..just get more pres with no reason then getting higher up in the ranking list...
Anyways having cool effects sounds like a nice idea, but would be cool to have something noticable on it..like change the color of the ship abit. Like the red baron in real life he had a red plane and so on...after all if ppl get like 160k of score they should be abit special like the red baron  (most of them anyways)

After .484. Last thing we need is more people with an incentive to bomb.
And to answer to Shig:
I have a bit of prejudice against things that are not only entirely useless but also fail to add anything except irritation.
I'm a fan of simple ambient effects that are applied to ships based on rank, though...

Well not evryone bomb their way to ranks. some do some dont.
And in the .484 version it will be alot more difficult to bomb a planet so no one will gain that much pres so easy. See problem solved.
