Cryptic Devs: Ideas for ranking system

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Hello Everyone & Cryptic Devs: I was thinking last night how to make the ranking system from Lt to Admiral 5 longer then what the system we have now. First off I think the stardate would be involve in our promoted, what we have already.

1)We start as Ensign - Tutorial (Borg Invasion)

2)From Ensign to Lt - Say we do some easy missions around the Sol System, plus in the Stardate Log it take around 1 Stardate year to be promoted to Lt. (but still do Ensign1-10)

3)From Lt to Lt C - Says the missions get harder, we do more out of sector missions, more explore, story missions, deep ones too (killing enemies). Take 2 Stardate years to be promoted (LT1-10 or 11)

4)From LT C to Commander - samething as LT but add new type of missions like diplomat, contact new races, defend the sector etc. Take 3 Stargate years to be promoted (LTC 1-10 or 11)

5)From Commander to Captain - samething as before. Take 3 to 4 stardate years to be promoted

6)Now for Captain, new type of missions (5 Year Mission) - A list of objectives for new Captain to do. When you finishes you can do another 5 Years or join a secret order for the Federation (special missions).
If I remember correctly did Kirk do like 2 to 4 type 5 Year missions in his career before being promoted to Admiral? If so maybe add this to our character career before being promoted to Admiral - 5 Years in Stardate one.

7)Admiral - Harder missions, you get assign to your own Starbase in new sector. I haven't played the Admiral rank yet but if anyone has any suggestion please let hear some.

I hope the devs and everyone else like these ideas. Just thinking how each TV series how the ranks went and so on.
