Pretty much, although if its imperial chances are it will be half as good as its fed equivalent and will never get paint jobs or ship kits in the store.
Would make sense though. Maybe payouts should be slightly affected by those ranks. And why isn't there a tie-in to powerplay with them?
Or parking spot with your name on it.
Like you, I have no idea why I should need a rank to buy something, is there something on earth that can not be bought with money? Perhaps a noble title, and that, I also doubt it. ..
And to add insult to injury, I'm female.
I wish to be Queen, not King.
sigh.... the Queen's jewels are so much prettier.
Thank you very much.

What would "flesh out" mean, since everyone and his mother is already done with rank grinding?
Really? In the right system you could comfortably go from nothing to King in the space of a weekend. Admiral would take a little longer but both are only signifiers of being able to grind for suffieciently long. Same issue as all ranks in Elite , however bad you are it's still an upward ratchet toward success.
