Unfortunately, there's not. Your rank is tied to your character's level & it's how the NPCs will address you.

Unfortunately, no. The rank you use is just a title. The rank the NPC calls you is your rank from level. It would be nice if NPC used your title instead of rank.
There is the idea of getting players npcs to reference you to your title like Moist or Master Chef. Unfortunately, Cryptic would have to go through every bit of dialogue and change <rank> to <title>. So a ton of work would be required to do this without a bunch of creative programming assuming it is possible. It all depends on what <rank> is linked to if it would be easy or extremely difficulty.
For the longest time, Cryptic has clung to the setup from day 1 that Admiral is where the action is at, and treated the flag officer ranks like the ultimate achievement in the star trek universe, no matter how often the shows themselves presented the opposite case.
Whoever at Cryptic keeps clinging to this idea, may really like Star Trek, but may have a hard time letting go of their own notion about rank/level/progression.
Which is fine with me since I am now playing my own take on Admiral Komack! And as we all remember from his 2 appearances in TOS, he was every bit a hero as some lowly CAPTAIN like Kirk! And I just saw the episode The Deadly Years for like the 50th time, with Commodore Stocker, and that episode CLEARLY indicates flag officers (like Stocker who were desk jockeys) are fully fit and capable of commanding a starship!

That is some next level McCoy-grade sarcasm right there. I approve, obviously.
