Rank structure for those who would like a real life example. - ScornStar - 06-08-2008
' Wrote:In my mind;
Fleet Admiral - Leads a battle fleet. (2+ BSs, 2 Cr each, 4 GBs each, fighters, and bombers.)
Admiral - Leads a small fleet with one large ship. (1 BS escorted by 2 Cr, 4 GBs, and fighters.)
General - A form of Admiral, except he usually leads smaller fleets, has a smaller flagship, and isn't a normal naval officer, but does other things, such as military intelligence against an opponent.
Commander - Leads a small fleet with a medium-sized ship. (1 Cr escorted by 2 GBs, fighters, and bombers.) Or can lead a large (battleship) sized ship, but without a fleet. (1 BS escorted by fighters.)
Captain - Commands a single ship, and is usually assigned to a fleet commanded by a General, Admiral, or Fleet Admiral.
Most of the people in FL with capships would fall under Captain. Battlecruiser owners could call themselves commanders, as well as some cruiser captains could..
Admirals and Fleet Admirals would only be people who command battleships that are a part of player factions.. And indie BS owner is simply an indie BS owner and probably shouldn't have the ship in the first place.. They would be called Commanders. But, for example and please don't let this go to your ego, Eppy would be a Fleet Admiral of the Outcasts, as his flagship is a battleship, and he has other battleships that can escort him, as well as countless cruisers, gunboats, fighters, and bombers. I would be the Fleet Admiral of AW. We do already have that rank, and its actually below my current one, but if I were not the leader, yet still had all the stuff I have atm, thats what I'd be, as I control the flagship (battleship that can be escorted by other BSs, Cruisers, GBs, fighters, and bombers). There are many more examples..
I like the concept that a BS which can be escorted by a BS Equals a higher rank than a BS with only criusers to call on. Or thats how I understood some of it. I would not be opposed to comeing up with our own Disco standards but maybe that should be left up to faction leaders as figureing out an opposeing nations rank structure is a basic part of intell we can sure recreat here.

They took all ranks from Halo3! OMG.
The best rank ever must be Lieutenant Commander, the two coolest names in one rank =)
