Possible Pirate ranking system. Needs ratification. Fleet Admiral ***** Admiral **** Vice Admiral *** Rear Admiral Upper Half ** Rear Admiral Lower Half * Captain Commander Lieutenant Commander Lieutenant Lieutenant Junior Grade Ensign If you want you can get rid of the half's and make the Lower Half a Commodore.

Some 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?
spl_cadet, you disguist me.

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?

Shade- Want to know why my graphics are so bad? Here's a hint: I just made another in the time it took to send that email. :eek:
Skyblade, this is so you don't have to hunt for my question. I copied it off page 7 or 8.
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,

I realize that. I was attempting to make a semi-rigid structure that wasn't quite as strict as cadet's original idea.

My system isn't, and wasn't intended to be, final. If you just want a few general ranks, how about these:
Admiral Hunter Captain Mercenary Freelancer
We can use modifications of those in the game, if we wanted to.

Of course. If they could ever get there.

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!

No! Guns, all bear on spl_cadet's flagship! FIRE!
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.
