Ease of name change and ranks, BAF - Dieter Schprokets - 10-04-2008
We could incorporate our ranks into our names.
If Promoted, get a name change.
ie, BAF|FltAdm.Percy.Nelles
Do you gents favour it or no?
Could be a problem for longer names. What is the character limit anyway?
Ease of name change and ranks, BAF - tfmachad - 10-04-2008
24 characters

Good idea,but as you said we might have a problem whit the longer name and the character limit are 27(i think)

I would favor the idea for I had the same thing in mind a couple days back for the MR, but it would greatly shorten the amount of "freespace" after all of the necessary tags.

It's a nice idea, but (correct me if I'm wrong) I'm pretty sure that it costs 2 million for each name change, unless you got an admin to do it, and I think they have enough work as it is. If your faction didn't mind giving you 2 million for the name change, then go ahead I say. Otherwise, it's just money down the drain.

If you're gonna do it, do it with asterisks. Everything else just makes it look too cluttered.

We can do it like this,just by add some symbol in names:
Fleet admiral: *|||[]
Commodore: *[]
Captain: *||||
Commander: *|||
Lt Commander: *|I|
Lieutenant: *||
Sub-Lieutenant: *|
Ensign: |

' Wrote:Good idea,but as you said we might have a problem whit the longer name and the character limit are 27(i think)In fact it's 23. My old 101st character was to be named with 24 characters (Giancarlo.Mancini[101st]), but the game didn't accept it, so I had to remove the separating dot to get it right (GiancarloMancini[101st]). I'm pretty sure it's 23 (lousy film).

I think this would work. With the Admirals permission.
Example: BAF|Percy.Nelles*|||[]
Mine would be: BAF|James.Flint*|I|
It would be alot easier to see the rank than it is to remember who is above you when you are in a furball.
