NPC Missing Ranks and a minor rant :D

reimu

It's kinda ridiculous it's been years since some of this npcs was was introduced heck in the case of Admiral T'nea she's been moved twice and they still didn't give her a rank

You think all those player vice admirals running around are bad? .... well how about a whole Starfleet of nothing but NPC Fleet Admirals ... this is a rank that in canon is Reserved for the Commander in Chief of Starfleet in this case I would assume Jorel Quinn

pretty much every Admiral we've seen in the show have been a Rear, Vice or full Admiral
but anyway back to the issue

I've been replaying every mission and it's staggering the amount of missing rank pips there are

here a few of the top of my head

Captain Nicholas Martin - ... his suppose to be a Captain but no pips hmm

Admiral Zelle - I mean sure ye she's a undine infilitrator but seems a bit odd that she has no rank

Admiral T'nea - Head of a Starbase and part of the Romulan series ... yet no rank

Lieutenant Karbo - the man who gave us all those lovely daily exploration missions for those emblems no pips

then there are npcs who's rank is Captain yet their wearing the Vice Admiral Coat ... like Four of Ten

Ps: Wish the npcs had uniformity

If I could force the All Good Things uniform on everyone, with the correct rank insignia... I'd be happy.

i'd be happy if the NPCs at ESD just got a new outfit for a change... those launch costumes really don't reflect the visual quality of the new stuff anymore.

imagine security officers on ESD as those black maco holograms and the officers in either the "Odyssey" uniform from the fleet vendor or the chrome colored Veteran Uniform variants...

after all it's kind of the first place you see in STO after the tutorial, it should look cool and represent the state of the game, rather than the state of launchday.

a few minor pathing fixes for NPCs would not hurt either... some of them float over the ground or into the ground regularly near the contraband turn in kitty npc.

Ye I like that uniform considering in every "alternate" time line they always wear that outfit you would think even in the prime time line its the canon future uniform but Cryptic just had go and invent their own just like that really bad count down comic .... still waiting for my Admiral All good Things Uniform as seen on Admiral Janeway
