Unlike many other MMOs, 'Champion of the Underworld' x 1000, titles in Elite Dangerous MEAN something. I wish we could use alternatives as our prefix rather than Commander. I get that it's historic to the other games, but makes little sense in this new enviroment.
Please give us an option to use our various titles. The base Federal and Imperial ranks are a good start, Founder is another valid title and I'm sure there'll be others.

How about no. Self inflated ego much ?
Hmm. I'd not actually thought about this but I can see it adding a bit of variety, and that's no bad thing.
Good idea
Will we ever see anything like that being implemented though... that's another thing? Only time will tell I guess.
Doesn't seem as if it would be an extraordinary feat of coding to implement it.
And yes definitely it needs to be earned. You're a CMDR until you prove otherwise, nub.
A ship always has a captain, whilst he is in charge of the ship he is its captain regardless of anything else.
You are the commander of your vessel and legally responsible for its actions.
<scratches head> So when not aboard your ship, you wish to be addressed as Lord? <chuckles>
As long as it's an EARNED title then yeah, why not. I'd not wanna see someone just decide to call themselves "Admiral High Space Lord Fred Nurks, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Saviour of the Purple Mushroom Men". Apart from the fact that it would cheapen earned titles, it'd take up most of my screen to display it on the hud. Besides, those purple mushroom men are delicious.![]()
Master and Commander doesn't sound so bad. Just need a bigger ship, and a whip. Hah!![]()
