Elite Ranks Should go to 10

[Cmdr Travers]

The Elite ranks, which currently go to Elite 5, should be increased so they go to 10, and for one simple reason.

Because Frontier use roman numerals, the top rank is Elite V. Surely Elite X is waaay cooler!?

 

[Fnord Velkor]

Nah - turn it up to 11.

(Even the BBC iPlayer volume bar goes up to 11. LOL )

No they should introduce colours so after you get Elite V you start Mostly Harmless then next time round start Mostly Harmless * that way we have an eventual top rank of Elite V (in black)

*OK perhaps we could skip orange.

Sounds good, I want Elite Ultraviolet!

If we're going down that road, then rank 40 would be even better: Elite XL

 

[BinaryDuck]

Make it 100.

Yeah, II is better comfortable for me, symmetry.

 

[Dillon Fallon]

Surely they have to go to 500.

The current ranking system is absolutely fantastic if had been introduced with the next version of the game, Elite V

 

[rootsrat]

Make them go to...

Get rid of the 0 and I agree.

 

[metatheurgist]

Over 9000!

Ummm...how do I know which level of Elite I am?
I stopped ranking up (or tracking/caring) after gaining Elite in Trade, Exploration and Combat.

Post-elite prestige ranks could be automatically adjusted to be the top 1%/10%/25% etc players instead of fixed amounts.

We already got another generic, infinite Elite rank grind though in the form of powerplay ranks, which do go on forever.

Make it 13 and introduce strange things happening to players reaching rank 13.
I remember reading article saying that theory of everything requires either 13 or 26 dimensions, so if we get rank 13 in game strange good things could happen to the players... like small random chance of reaching destination of plotted course in one jump, a luxurious deal in the form of mission on the board, or rare opponent with extra reward while fighting, etc.

Hmm... plus ingame message spamming in chat "remember this cmdr is in the top 1% of all cmdrs"...

Ok, I'll get my coat...

 

[Frankymole]

Right on (to infinity) Commander

They are on the first tab in the right hand window in your cockpit, the one with the Codex, Engineers and Galnet buttons amongst others.

Aren’t they?

Why not. Elite ranks are pretty meaningless rewards wise once you get that first Elite. It doesn't require skill to make Elite or the further Elite "prestige" levels in any discipline, just time spent doing that activity. So "prestige" ranks to whatever number you want is fine. It's not like anyone really cares about other players ranks anyway. But if it gives you something you feel is worthwhile to work towards, I'm fine with it.
