The First Strike (http://www.fsmod.com/) mod team has announced today new ranks will be found in game. Check it out:
Yes, you read that correctly. In version 1.2 of First Strike your progress will be recorded AND ranked. For quite a while now we've tried to figure out why exactly people are more drawn to play vanilla 2142 as opposed to First Strike and, well, the no brainer was really the ranking system. Of course there are other reasons, and yes, we know not everyone likes ranking systems, but the fact is a large population of gamers like to earn something for their playtime. So, anyways, here is a breakdown of how this system is going to work in First Strike:
The Ranks:
1 Midshipman - Starting Rank
2 Ensign - Earned with 250 Points
3 Sub-Lieutenant - Earned with 350 Points
4 Lieutenant - Earned with 450 Points
5 Lieutenant Commander - Earned with 550 Points
6 Commander - Earned with 650 Points
7 Captain - Earned with 750 Points
8 Line Captain - Earned with 850 Points
9 Commodore - Earned with 950 Points
10 Rear Admiral - Earned with 1950 Points
11 Vice Admiral - Earned with 2950 Points
12 Admiral - Earned with 3950 Points
13 Fleet Admiral - A select few will be appointed by the Dev Team.
14 Moff - A select few will be appointed by the Dev Team.
15 Grand Moff - A select few will be appointed by the Dev Team.
16 Grand Admiral - A select few will be appointed by the Dev Team.
The points to achieve the ranks are a combination of what you earn from awards and your end game scores. The points are also subject to change as we may need to adjust it for balance, but you get the gist of it.http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/thumb_ranked.jpg (http://images.totalgamingnetwork.com/images/ranked.jpg)
