Hi, RP discussion board. Honestly never thought I'd end up here but didn't know where else to put this one. This might surprise people but I'm actually disappointed that the Chieftain won't be rank locked. Yeah, that's right, I'm asking for some more grind. Honestly though, I liked the idea of another Rank system to work through and was already pondering what it'd look like. I thought they would be conventional than the Imperial one but not identical to the Federation ones. Maybe Army or Air Force ranks. All sounds pretty dumb but I was looking forward to being an Airmen or a Sergeant or a Colonel. Just something new I suppose. Thanks for humouring me if you got this far.
Alliance rank structure

If FDev decides to put in Alliance ranks, I hope they use something better than what we currently have for the Federation/Empire. Better yet, why not overhaul the way Federation and Empire ranks are gained so each superpower has their own unique way of ranking up that reflects each of their values and ethos?
For example, one of the core values of the Alliance is unity, so the Alliance rank could be based on how many of their affiliated minor factions you have helped

This is my first post on the forum. I've been playing since the last Christmas sale, and enjoying the hell out of the game!
It's about time the Alliance gets something proprietary, I guess. I'm sure no one would want another grind ahead of them, but I too would like to see some commitment to the Alliance required to access their ships.
If the Alliance has a centralized military with auxiliary ranks, then they're just another federation, so I's like to see Alliance ships be locked behind a number of Alliance minor factions being 'Friendly' with the player, as MK_Regular said. Something like 10 factions for one ship, and 20 for another.
It shouldn't be as much of a grind as the military ranks are, and it would require players to put some time into more than two systems (ferrying data back and forth). I think it's a reasonable requirement for the decentralized Alliance, without being a real time sink. I like the Alliance, and I'd like to see the gameplay enforce my decision to support them, even just a little.
Thanks for your time!
