I was wondering if,since the last rank needed to fly all ships is grand admiral , why is there marshal and chief marsh? I belive there should be an update in which there are better ships that are eligeble to only those of higher ranks.

unchecked feeling of entitlement from those self same grand admirals, marshals and chief marshals. without them, the highest rank could still be fleet admiral.

Bragging rights. Able to lock planets from lower ranks. Bragging rights. Able to lock AI orders from lower ranks. Oh yeah, bragging rights.

Raise rank requirements of stations.
That would do nicely.

While we're on the subject.
If a higher ranked player is sending AI to recap a key major depot in one of your established systems. Don't moan and complain that he has control of the AI and doesn't want to send them to you until the planet he or she is capping is at 100% in your factions control.
Even if you've played 10+ years. If you're on a lower rank alt, it's not 'DO THIS, I KNOW BEST OR I'M GOING TO CRY'. Rather It's 'how can I help?'
That's what I do when I'm on my ICC alt.

I see this all the time:
A player in a station for over an hour loses station. Comes out of sy and /Ys that he gained XXX pres anyways, so it was worth it.
1. He is more than likely FULL OF IT.
2. You do not gain in one engagement the lost pres of a dead station. This pres is gained over a period of time, then when Idjmo Joe dies, he looks at where he is, sees a difference, and says what he does. Its not even a chance that he hasnt lost over 700 - 800 pres for his station. Its a FACT that he has.
Funny thing is, others see Idjmo Joe make his stupid, face saving coment, BELIEVE the idjot, and then spam the forums about pres gains being too high.
I'm not saying that people dont gain a bit faster than before. I am not saying that dying costs nothing or too much or anythinbg else. I am saying that ya'll need to stop believing every jackmuffin who comes along and says this crap. He's full of it.
YOU WILL NOT LOSE A STATION IN A SINGLE ENGAGEMENT AND GAIN FROM IT.
You gain it from multiple engagements with multiple players. FFS, every tick of damage you take is negative pres, so how could it work out?
If you lost, say, 1200 pres for a station, and you never fired a shot, I have news for you. You do not gain 1200 pres if you kill a station that never fires a shot at you.
DS is not numbered that way. Sorry to break your hearts.
FFS stop being so gullible.

This person is flat out decieving you.
Just you can jump in a station, spacebar mash, and gain in the positive. Done it countless times. Its how I got to CM pretty quickly just playing casually. Don't believe this crap.
This is a person trying to keep the big ship space going. Sorry buddy. I can jump in a dread and do the same thing. You don't believe it? Try it yourself.
Jump in, hit that spacebar, and do everything you can to live as long as possible. Watch your prestige go up. Check it every five minutes to be sure. I know I did. Seeing is believing. Think its gullibility? Think its propaganda? Try it yourself. Even if you die, you will still have gained more than you lost.
Don't be fooled by people like this. They just want more for themselves.
