Ok - so I like the Caldari and Unfortunately the Minmatar Ranks. I think they look really cool.
Which races's rank do you like best and/or which rank in general is the best one in your opinion.
Look at the latest Dev Blog to find the pretty pictures.Dev Blog Here - Scroll to Bottom to see the images ________________________

I have to say, the Caldari and Gallente ones look pretty sweet.  ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.81 (Updated 4/8) |

Edited by: Ulstan on 23/05/2008 19:18:57 The minmatar ones look awesome.
The caldari ones are ok, except the last one, which is a straight rip off of the US Air Force badge.
Could we get something that looks a little more EVE and a little less WWII for the last caldari icon :D

I would say Amarr has the best rank titles. As for images, the minnies are just plan sexeh.

Edited by: Patch86 on 23/05/2008 19:34:16 Edited by: Patch86 on 23/05/2008 19:33:34 I'm actually not a fan of the Caldari ones. Make me think of eagles. Not sure why that's not a good thing...
The Minmatar ones are absolutely awesome. The Gallente and the Amarr ones are both very...plain.
EDIT: And yes, the Amarr have the best rank titles, followed by the Minmatar. This time, it's Caldari and Gallente's turn to be nondescript.
EDIT2: Also, I'm disappointed about how many times the word "lieutenant" has been used. Two reasons: Firstly, I don't like it when people pronounce it "lootenunt", instead of "leftenant". Secondly, I keep calling it "lootenunt" instead of "leftenant", which makes me not like myself. ------

Edited by: Spoon Thumb on 23/05/2008 19:43:53 The final Gallente one looks a little meh.
Need more colour, especially coloured ribbon. How about campaign medals as well. Like ones for participating in different regions or different parts of the storyline as it moves forward or everyone is gonna power to the top medal
Edit: actually just looking at them, the Amarr ones look kinda star-trek. the minnie ones are dead cool though. What would be really cool would be tribal tatoos to accompany your medals

I'll be going to play for Gallente or Minmatar but the imagery of the Minmatar and the Amarr looks amazing!

That's kind of what I thought...looks too much like an engraved plastic bin in my opinion. It needs to look more like the previous rank emblem. ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.81 (Updated 4/8) |

There are individual insignia I don't like, but overall I like the looks of all four.
The Caldari ones are a touch boring and conventional, but hey, they're Caldari. They like that sort of thing.  * * * In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

I don't care for the names of most of the ranks, but the images are surprisingly sensible.

Dunno why you'd think you should pronounce "lieu" as "lef". From the dev blog it looks like they were trying to balance having cool names with having rank names that people would be able to place in order. Thus the use of real-world military terms like Lieutenant, Captain, Commander, Colonel, General, etc.

Its a British thing. Have a look. Either way, it's a debate everyone who uses voice chat is suddenly likely to have a hell of a lot  ------

If these ranks actually serve some function other than decoration they aren't a bad addition. Even better, being unable to receive a promotion if there are too many people above you and not enough underneath would make the whole thing more sensible. Even better than that would be if having one of these ranks entailed some kind of responsibility, with demotion resulting from negligence (probably too hard to implement this of course, but it'd be a great RP addition.) Otherwise they shouldn't be using ranks, they should be using medals or something to symbolize achievement. How much sense is it going to make once everyone has a General tab?

Visible ranks open the possibility to get rewards based on how high-ranked an officer you've just killed, a la WoW's honor kills system, somewhat.
My question is, what does a Navy Captain (NPC) think about a Militia Captain? |

I understand there is a comments thread for this Dev Blog. What I am asking has nothing to do with the contents of the blog. I was just asking what you thought of the pretty images used for the new ranks.

Someone must be hogging all the internet, because I cant see the images. They keep timing out, trying to read off some Devblog-BH (bughunter?) address.

OMG player dogtags would be BADASS!
also killing players could then be used in the LP store which for the last year has been low on these.

So the rank is just directly correlated with your standing?
so standing 6 = rank 6, and an increase or decrease in one results in the same change in the other?
Seems silly to give each level of standing a different picture.
Do ranks come with additional powers / missions / responsibilities? If I'm a Divine Commodore, do I have any more power in factional warfare than a Paladin Crusader? __________________________________
