But yeah, fortunately in typical Junker society there are no titles. Your money talks, the more the louder:P
You're the king of Inverness.

Well, people who proclaim themselves an admiral out of the blue will get little to no respect from anyone, they will just be ignored.
On the other hand, if you are an indy with a title (admiral/commander/any high military rank usually), and you are respected and treated as such by official factions and the like, you must be at least a compotent RP-er and have gained their trust, therefore deserve any authority you gain.
In the end, most indies with titles that are respected by people have at some point gained the trust of an assosciated official faction enough to earn the bestowing upon them of said title.
Bossing people around with a self-given title would mostly equate to power-gaming i think.

Technically, I am the richest and most influential Junker in Inverness.

Wasn't there some guy going around in a Marsflyer back in 84 who was called "King of Sirius"?

With great power comes great responsibility. If you can't keep the pace, you get booted.

But think that a guy proclaim himself the "King of the Corsairs !!111!!!!oneone11!" is very comic, and make me remember the powerplayers in other roleplay game.

It's pretty simple.
I could call myself an Admiral and order people about. They can easily refuse and say no, claiming I am mad etc.
Or, if my orders are sensible and they want to play along, they play along and hopefully I would gain respect for the good leadership etc.
That said, if you want to be more than just a recruit, it's easy to come up with one of the middle ranks. You are then usually subordinate to others but above others as well.
Just don't be an ******* or an idiot and you'll be grand.

My LN character is on loan indefinitely from DSE, and so has a research doctorate from (*gasp*) New Berlin. I've kinda felt weird assigning my character a degree that I'm not even close to in real life.
I've learned about as much as I can about lane/gate technology, so I hope that kinda helps fill in the monstrous gap of ignorance I may have about engineering.
