If you want you can get rid of the half's and make the Lower Half a Commodore.------------------

EnsignSome of that seems okay. You should probably have "Freelancer" at the bottom. How about something like this (top to bottom. Most of it is your system):
Fleet Admiral
Admiral
Vice-Admiral
Hunter
Commodore
Captain
Mercenary Captain
Commander
Mercenary Commander
Noted Freelancer
Freelancer
Fresh Meat
Hunter is my term for an extremely skilled pilot, but not somebody in commanding position.

**Sounds good. So fresh meat is the rank that all HC and Alien players hope to achieve?

Lord A' and spl_,
I don't think most pirates would recognize such rigid militaristic ranks. (KK scoffs at them.)
I think iconoclastic pirates would have a MUCH more basic system, such as...
Lord
Leader
Captain
Commander
Warrior... and let the individual Leaders have the freedom of selecting whatever intermediate ranks they want.
Geez! I'm a pirate (so long as I can swallow Skyblade's answer). By definition I rebel against all that structure....
Comments?

Skyblade, this is so you don't have to hunt for my question. I copied it off page 7 or 8.
Quote
Serious line of questioning, Skyblade, "Why are you including pirates in the story? Is it to enhance the story? Or is it to simply placate-the- pirates- it- doesn't- matter-they're- just-cannon-fodder-anyway?" Your answer will determine my participation.
Thanks,

Admiral
Hunter
Captain
Mercenary
FreelancerWe can use modifications of those in the game, if we wanted to.

Yeah! I like it. Simple ... and very UN- HC or Dreden.

**HC Navy? You must be jesting. That pathetic gaggle of ships and you have the guts to call it a navy? I wouldn't even call it a convoy.

Shouldn't we at least wait for the webstory to start before we open up the hostilities?
And just remember, if you want to pass around military strategies for the HC, keep me in mind too, I might be serving under you, and it would probably help if I understood what was going on

NOTE: I'm not sure when the story will start, but PLEASE don't post 'till I get back from my college retreat (the 7th of september, AKA friday). I hope that I will be able to do those graphics upon my return. Thanx!

I'll keep you in mind for strategy decisions, Zen. Probably Thursday, I'll go back through and add all the HC players to my contact list, so we can do mass mailing.
