Shouldn't Subadmiral II just be Admiral?

The progression goes Subadmiral I, Subadmiral II, and then Vice Admiral. You go from subcommander to commander so shouldn't it be subadmiral, admiral, vice admiral?

All the ranking systems in STO are pretty much missing ranks, example: the Feds are missing LT. JG. The Romulans are missing Sub-Lieutenant and it makes their ranks look a little strange.
Ranks between services don't always match up. NATO made up OF Codes so there would be some semblance of normalcy between the dozens of different services that might operate together. Cryptic seems to have made the decision that the end game ranks will line up across factions, while the lower rank (where it doesn't matter as much) ones will not; which is one of the reasons we don't see KDF Majors or Colonels even though their end game ranks are army insted of naval, and on the show we saw Klingon "Captains".
The way the ranks in STO work is...
Lvl 0 is OF-1
Lvl 1 OF-2
Lvl 10 is OF-3
Lvl 20 is OF-4
Lvl 30 is OF-5
Lvl 40 is OF-6
Lvl 45 is OF-7
Lvl 50 is OF-8
~Lvl 60 is OF-9
When dealing with messed up rank systems across services just use OF numbers to know who to salute.
Agreed, so what we are saying is that the rank structure for Romulan admirals is inherently flawed, no? As I stated, it goes from subcommander to commander so to follow suit one would think it would go from subadmiral to admiral. Perhaps SAI should be Vice Admiral (or Lower Admiral or something) then SA2 would just be subadmiral followed by admiral. Would make way more sense IMHO.
Agreed, I am very familiar with rank structure and if anything, Romulan ranks once you pass Commander are confusing.
Subadmiral I is Rear admiral lower half
Subadmiral II is Rear Admiral upper half
Agreed x1000
it's possible that more 10 levels are added in the future. But it's just that, a possibility.
What they need is a system like one mmo that the name is censored on this forum that has a system where there is a point system and when you spend said points you de-rank your character. So that kind of system would be decent because it wouldn't put the game where every single player is an admiral/general.
Most likely that is how I believe they should do that thing stahl was talking about is create those faction reputations and every player's account would be on a base type system so you could see a player ranking based on the faction. Only downside to this is they would probally make it character based but it would really would need to be based on account due to the investments a lot of players have in their accounts/characters. Basically the design concept behind it is that it would have faction based gear that wouldn't be available to another faction but you would be demoted in your faction rank if you choose to spend those points that put you at that higher rank.
Is an idea anyways to solve this problem lol.
I like cats :cool:.

From a story point of view, you are the only protaganist, and the other players don't exist. So there aren't 'gazillions'. But having an Admiral commanding one ship and beaming down to scan rocks is still silly

Yeah they do need to choose one or the other because from that perspective this is nothing more than a console game with content being injected a few times a year.
Ensign
Lieutenant (junior grade)
Lieutenant
Lieutenant Commander
Commander
Captain
Rear Admiral (lower half)
Rear Admiral
Vice Admiral
Admiral
Fleet Admiral
Admiral of the Navy
Its not that silly when you consider that that admiral can command any ship they damn well please including ones captured from the enemy, and can call in other ships for help when they need it.
Scanning rocks and taking water samples sure is silly though.
