Clear Rank Ladder to Elite in Right Panel (progression tree)

[Hydrino]

Please make the progress bars in the cockpit ship info panel show the full rank progression with tick marks on the ladder and put our place there. Instead of generic % and current rank only.

Like this low-effort mock up but horizontal on a nicely colored bar, like today:

Achieved? Rank Name

Honestly think more would prefer the current set up than an overall bar.

Because the ranks are (very roughly) exponentially distributed, the first four or five ranks would all end up in the same pixel on the left of the bar.

With the layout changes in Odyssey for that panel to fit another two ranks in, possibly the sixth rank would also end up indistinct.

Aside from how messy it would look and how pointless the change would be it would also be a detriment to game play.

Good game design relies on an understanding of psychology. Several bars that go up 2-6% at a time is better feedback than 1 bar that only moves 1% after an entire play session.
