I have the "space pimp" rank. Very hard to reach. Don't even dream about it. Sorry... Not yours... Can't have... -- "Please, would you tell me," said Alice, a little timidly, ... "why your cat grins like that?" "It's a Cheshire cat," said the Duchess, "and that's why." http://www.evetrust.com |

I must say, I tend to like simple numerics. Rank 1 = CEO, Rank 2 = Deputy CEO, Rank 3 = Directors / High ups, Rank 4 = Directors' Assistants, Rank 5 = Average Joe Member, Rank 6 = New Members, Rank 7 = alts, inactives, etc.
Not that thats how our corp does it, but if I were Rank 1 then it would be  -----------------------------------------------

you dont understand me... i know all military ranks and site... also found in Google...
but, EVE is a space game... so it's a combination of Navy (about she ships) and Air Force (Squads, Wing Comanders)
and i dont think I will find a military ranking for Univers Military Ranks ;)

Ah. Well personally I'd go for Navy, since spaceships always feel more like Navy ships than aircraft to me. I suppose its a matter of taste, though. Probably influenced by your favourite sci-fi (Star Trek, BSG and all sorts of others use Navy, while SG-1, for example, goes Airforce). -----------------------------------------------

From what I can gather the PF ranks differ from empire to empire.
If we look at tags for example the Republic Fleet has midshipmen and other normal navy ranks while the Amarr Navy seems to use RL army ranks with generals and majors in there.
Having said that though, the Amarrians also have an Aurora controlled Lord Admiral...
PIE Inc uses a slightly simplified RL navy system - ensign, lieutenant, lt.commander, commander, captain, commodore, vice admiral and admiral.

There are wing commanders and squadrons in the Navy. Most sci-fi books and shows use all navy ranks and structure.
Except for stargate ... heh.

I don't think navy ranks work that well tbh.
In all other cases where they are used (RL, Trek etc) most of them apply to members of the crew of a single vessel.
Airforce work much better, but your own original ones are best of all.
I prefer the corporate set up anyway; director, manager, foreman etc.

We use Roman ranks - as they were all about infantry it's sort of army ranks I guess.
Now recruiting!

In eve in a corp all you need is people competative to lead gangs, and one thats the best of it. Usualy called fleet commander.
Although I always find giving names like fleet commander in a 35 people corp a bit silly, they barely have enough people to form a small gang.

I made a sort of hybrid system based off of several navy and air force references and even a few sci-fi examples.
Flag Officers: -Admiral (OF-10) -Vice Admiral (OF-9) -Commodore (OF-8)
Senior Officers: -Colonel (OF-7) -Major (OF-6) -Captain (OF-5)
Junior Officers: -Commander (OF-4) -Lieutenant-Commander (OF-3) -Lieutenant (OF-2) -Ensign (OF-1)
Officers in Training: -Cadet (OF-0)

I think you should use a rank system that suits you, whether it's a military or civilian, made up or already established system. Still good to get different ideas and opinions on it.

TBH, if you count ship crews, most of us have thousands of men under our command. Capital ships probably have tens of thousands. And most of us own multiple ships. So, the notion of every single pod captain having an ultra-high rank, with noone ever being under Captain, may sound silly but it's not inaccurate.
Of course, that ignores the fact that we're all private citizens anyway. I wonder how Factional Warfare is going to change that.

Edited by: Deschenus Maximus on 26/01/2007 16:25:21 Slightly off topic but HOLY JESUS are there ever a lot of different Sergeants in the US Army. Do they all have specific jobs or is it just to give people fancy additions to their rank of "Sergeant"?
EDIT: Oh, and BTW, Fleet Commander is not a rank, it's an appointment. For example, in most armies, Lieutenants (rank) will be Platoon Commanders (appointment), but they could also be Operations Officers, Quartermasters, Adjudants, etc. which are all appointments but not ranks.
FOR THE EMPEROR!

It would not be totally inaccurate to use Lt. Commander and Commander as lower ranks. That's about as low as you are going to get and still be given your first ship command of a Frigate. Clueless Noob |

Most Sci Fi uses Naval ranks since space ships are essentially ships in space. So Naval rank would be the most appropriate. Things like Commadore, Squadron Commander, Fleet Commander and Task Force Commander are positions not ranks. Air Froce Officer ranks are the same as Army ranks because the Air Force used to be the Army Air Corps.

Well the different Sergeants denote what level of proficiency you have reached. A Seargent First Class in intelligence carries the same general weight of a Seargeant First Class in Infantry. Essentially they are peers. Its all pay grade and responsibility.

Edited by: Raven DeBlade on 26/01/2007 18:44:26 Edited by: Raven DeBlade on 26/01/2007 18:42:57 Naval rankings would be most appropriate. the "army" dudes is the ones you have in your cargo and drop on those pesky planets.
Enlisted Ranks Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Fleet/Command Master Chief Petty Officer Master Chief Petty Officer Senior Chief Petty Officer Chief Petty Officer Petty Officer First Class Petty Officer Second Class Petty Officer Third Class Seaman Seaman Apprentice
Navy Warrant Officer Ranks Chief Warrant Officer 2 Chief Warrant Officer 3 Chief Warrant Officer 4 Chief Warrant Officer 5 (Warrant officers hold warrants from their service secretary and are specialists and experts in certain military technologies or capabilities. )
Navy Officer Ranks Ensign Lieutenant Junior Grade Lieutenant Lieutenant Commander Commander Captain Rear Admiral Lower Half Rear Admiral Upper Half Vice Admiral Admiral (Chief Of Naval operations) Fleet Admiral (Only used in wartime, but hey its always wartime in EVE)
