Suggestion: Displayed titles as mode of address in conversations

Right now, conversations, mission texts and random gossip text will have a replacement token for the character's current rank in them. This way, we have generic text with fields, which can be easily filled in by calling a string replace method on the text.

Now, what I would like to see is that the method, in which the <Rank> token is replaced by the actual character rank, would check for a displayed title, which would take precedence and substitute that instead of the character's rank.

What would happen: You will be addressed as your <Displayed Title> in mission text and random gossip in the enviroment; if you do not have a title set, you will be addressed normally as <Rank>.

What I think this might do is that everybody is free to "be" the rank of choice, whether they are RPers, Rank fanatics, or just people that think that a whole fleet of Rear Admirals doesn't make sense - all at least on a superficial level.

This probably will not satisfy everybody, but it would be a quick and dirty "fix" :D.

And what about the "Crash Test Tribble" title? Errrrrr, yeah...weeeeell. Exception? :p
