List of Air force officer ranks or NASA force.
I made same topic long time ago, but it's deleted.
[joke]I suggests:
Midshipman = Promotion.
Higher rank = Slower.
Chief Marshal = No-More-Promotion.
Example: Grand Admiral = Slower Slower Slower Slower Slower Slower Promotion
So when I reach Chief Marshal, the system will announce:

This game is hard enough as it is. If you let a newbie start with an extractor, he'll leave the game so fast that the monitor will continue spinning for a few minutes.

Why would Luth use these grade rankings, as they are aliens?
Why would anyone want to be a CM just to get an elite extractor? How is this any kind of reward?
What about people who aren't at the CM rank, who would be denied ships they could be using now?
What on the ensign level would make a new player stay interested in the game?
This is just a horrible idea all around. Horrible. Horrendous. Bad isn't an apt enough description to even begin to describe how misguided this entire thread has become. This kind of change is just asking for more tears than an entire case of Bounty paper towels could sop up.

Faction dependent rank/pres should be implemented if a programmer has a time IMO.

Rank is just calcuated as a integer number in the game. The actuall display text is just based off these numbers.
It'd be annoying to change it to a per faction version, for little gain.

also you got the players that will go from faction to faction at a whim. what novelty will they get out of different factions ranks... None that's what. overall a good idea with the different ranks i find marshal and chief marshal to be a bit derp in my opinion.

When you target somebody, the image of his/her ship appears on the bottom right part of the screen. It would be nice if three information would appear:
-Name
-Prestige
-Rank

that could probably be added, or rank anyways. name's already shown. pres isnt that important and you can just /who them anyway

To /who a person is not that immediate, plus if the person has changed name, it's a hassle.

Then replace prestige with ID number. ID Number is @...
Sometimes the one who I want to chat has his name too long and contain symbols that I don't know how to type.
