I agree that you should be able to see rank, and that it would help you decide who to listen to when you are running missions, but that wouldn't work. You would have the powergamers who have the highest rank, and have no idea of strategy, run you all to death. Or worse, you would be the one in command and all the kids who just got out of school would not listen to you in the field. While it is a good idea, I honestly cannot see it working the way that it is planned

They did it in DAoC. You could see the title of the enemy, but he coudln't. I'm sure that could be fixed too.. even the use of symbols near their name would help a lot. Don't let the other side see it of course, like DAOC, but let all members of the same faction do so. Just makes more sense.

could it be highest rank for covert is Colonel while the highest overt is somewhat higher

Hate to say it but the prima strategy guide has them wrong. Maujr has the correct ones. I'll complete the list for him.

Private 200

Lance Corporal 400

Corporal 800

Seargent 1200

Staff Seargent 1600

Staff Corporal 2000

Warrant Officer 2 2500

Master Seargent 3000

Warrant Officer 1 3500

Second Lieutenant 4000

Lieutenant 5000

Captain 5000

Major 5500

Colonel 6000

Yes it appears that Lieutenant is bugged and should be 4500 instead of the 5000 it actually is.

I think the main benefit to rank is having a higher faction point cap. Bigger cap equals better perks available

Actually I believe those titles in the prima guide are for npc's and not players. I know I've seen npc first lieutenants even though players cannot get that rank. Also it seems second lieutenants are higher than first lieutenants for npc's, even though liutenant is higher than second lieutenant for players.

jremember the guide is from beta. its just a guide.

But can you see your rank anywhere????

Or do just have to remember??

It would be nice if the rank was somehow in you name (like PA's) when you declared an became Overt..

Like Guardsman Toll Capper <Da> would become Lance Coporal Toll Capper <DA> instead???

Or, I think whenever you are overt or covert, the rank should be shown next to your name as an icon for others in your same faction.

Thus when a covert rebel looks at me, they'd see the Rebel Icon with a Seargent rank superimposed over it.

If I go overt, everyone will see that icon with the rank over it.

This should be pretty easy to implement programmatically, and will encourage a lot more people to go up in ranks just to have others in their faction walking around giving them /salutes.

This is the Promotions I have recieved so far as an Imperial

Higher ranks may be reserved for expansion and/or PvP related accomplishments, special mission objectives, or story arc compleation.

I agree... your rank should be displayed upon opening an Examine window or something along those lines... would be fun to add in the military aspect of joining either imperials or rebels...
