Restricted Rank Brainstorming

[Choli Vyn]

A few members were curious on how the restricted ranks work within the GA and after come discussion in GA discord chat, [member="Zark"] wanted to toss a brainstorming session to see if there was a way to revamp the structure and reinvigorate it without getting too crazy.

Here is our current rank structure.

​

Some ideas were the following:

1. Add in one extra rank for the increase in naval presence within our faction with starfighter pilots and naval folk
2. Retain the smaller restricted ranks but allow a small area of elaboration to detail "Common ic ranks" for GADF, GA navy, Starfighter, Government, type deals. IE In GADF a short, sweet simple list of common ranks people may want to play:
   Private, Sergeant, Master Sergent, Lieutenant, Captain, Major. --- with Restricted PC ranks being Colonel. ( just using this as a reference)

Any other ideas? This is just brainstorming and we aren't gonna see fast changes, but the faction does want to promote and reward activity with the restricted ranks. To do that, clearing up things and streamlining so our new members know this is there is a great idea.

This is just an example!

Because it's the best image ever

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

I kind of feel like we could have one set of ranks for the GADF

Captains are traditionally much higher in the navy than the army. General and admiral are very Army/Navy specific but perhaps we could make a combined set?

The General in Rogue One was a pilot after all

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

Admiral Ackbar's scenes in RoTJ were all filmed with General Madine just in case the puppet didn't work.

What would you recommend as a combined set?

Right now the only difference is Admiral and General for both recommended IC ranking systems. And just a courtesy enlisted three tier rank for army.

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

GADF Officer Ranks

Admiral
General
Commodore
Captain
Commander
Lieutenant Commander
Lieutenant

GADF Enlisted Ranks

Lots of them and often trade specific, including but not limited to:
Sergeant
Petty Officer
Private
Marine
Flight Officer
Specialist

How about this?

[member="Choli Vyn"]

Like it!

[member="Armis Vindex"]

What downsides do you see to having a reference list of GADF officer's ranks?

Yes we have NFU fleet characters.
Yes we have NFU officers.

[member="Armis Vindex"]


We have quite a bit actually. And this isn't an overhaul as so much as the fleshing out to help members be able to plug themselves in with an IC rank and if they like, work towards a restricted PC rank.

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

We really need a new name to replace Commander as the restricted military rank.

In my view it should be something besides the GADF ranks. It's a tag that says "This is a leader of IC Galactic Alliance activity". Much like the Hands of the One Sith way back.

The name should reflect someone who is given operational command of a particular mission or task force. So it could go to a ground pounder, pilot or admiral.

Ideas provided by [member="Veino Garn"] for GADF restricted rank





] VeinoGarn: For the Restricted Rank: Detachment Lead

[Kenrath]

[Kiyron]

Kiyron is one. Mao. Sol Stazi- once the rebellion is finished. Kensic Varais- after rebellion.

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

Samuel Quentin, Ralph Thule, Vilin, all the people who've go e through Rogue Squadron...

Go and check out our recent dominions and rebellions (and then join them )

 

[Choli Vyn]

Suggestions for GADF Restricted Rank Title:

• Detachment Lead
• Detachment Officer
• Could even replace Marshal in here.

Suggestions for Government Restricted Rank Title:

• Rename "governor" to "Minister."
• Maybe arbiter?

Suggestions for NJO Restricted Rank

• Marshal works well, but this could be renamed.
• Justicar?
• Arbiter?
• Warden?

 

[H3xle]

I do like Justicar and Arbiter.

I also really like Marshal being in GADF rather than NJO.

 

[Hira Mitsae]

I don't really care about 98% of what's being discussed here, but the 2% is vital to me.

Let's please keep it to Jedi Marshal. I love that name, it's the best.
