Forum Rank Rage
« on: June 12, 2013, 08:08:27 pm »
So, I just realized this, why is there no Private First Class forum rank?

And not just Pfc, Staff Sergeant and Gunnery Sergeant are also missing. FSE, fix that, it's affecting my OCD.

In my opinion they should be using civil war ranks but they couldn't be bothered to make the icons =(

Edit: In no ways are these British ranks the insignia are clearly American and First Sergeant and Brigadiers General are not British ranks.

I was saying that it would be better if they 'WERE' British ranks. I know that they are American ranks.

End 'o' the day, the forum is for all of FSE's projects - pretty much any rank structure would be sufficient, given that there's no rank structure that will cover all eras portrayed in their games.

Well StarTrek ranks please senior global moderator.

But the forum seems to be civil war themed so why not the ranks.

Hah, ranks from the Terran Federation's military would be better.

These.. are US ranks from the 1860s..
Granted, there are ranks missing, but almost all of them are located within the other branches or services. (Cavalry, Artillery, Navy, etc.) I don't know about you, but I would rather people not be assigned random ranks from every branch of the US military.

The ability to change what branch your ranks are from would be interesting, though I highly doubt it's possible.

You know, I do have one complaint about the accuracy of the ranks..

The 'Commander in Chief' and 'President' ranks are redundant, as the President of the United States holds the rank of Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces..
