Why not get rid of Vice Admiral?

Hey

Why not just make Rear Admiral Lower Half take 10 levels

And make the top level Rear Admiral Upper Half

The supposed VA ships are after all, just RALH ships +1s, especially if they are only on the c-store.

This would leave open 10 more levels in RAUH for expansion, and possibly another tier of ships to come as well.

    I think VA is there because they plan to expand the ships, and there some things you can only get at VA level. Plus I've heard a few rumours flying around in various places on being the STO wiki page of two new ranks coming to STO.

    Those are the ranks that were discussed. They were rumored to coincide with the introduction of Starbases and the ability to command multiple ships at one time.

    I would like to have all the admiralty ranks other than RA-LH removed, but I doubt it'll be happening :(

    I'm all for expanding the 1- and 2-pip Admiral ranks to a full 10 levels each and bumping up VA to 61.

    I'm also all for departing from U.S. Navy ranks and rename the Lover Half to TOS-classic "Commodore," and the upper half can be plain "Rear Admiral."

    Was never a fans of the rank system. Player should not have a rank higher then Captian. you can have a level 52 Captain.

    I agree either way is fine with me. I always thought it was stupid to have all other rank be 10 levels and have two that are only 5 levels

    Are they even RALH +1? They offer some variety over the RALH ships, with the special consoles and different BOff stations and stuff, but are they any better, overall? I haven't noticed any overall advantages.

    As for VA, I see it as a placeholder for a future level cap increase, if the devs ever get around to that.
