Elite - with oak leaf cluster?

[Angus]

I'm Elite in combat (which says far more about my persistence than my skill ) but I miss having something to aim at, and I don't want to start again. I thought it might be nice to add some small adornments to it awarded with greater achievement (like the oak leaf cluster used by the military in some countries).

Personally I'd favour a very understated approach, awarded only after some considerable progress was made, but its nice to have something to aim for and the feeling of gradual progression.

+1 Yes and more 100 times Yes!
We achieve certain grades because we like to do it, but once you reach the rank of "Elite", all subsequent efforts are no longer counted.
Please add an endless ranking system (Tier 1 / rank Elite --> Tier 2 / rank Noob), in which again and again we can raise the levels.

It's also nice to have a reason for trying, I mean the bonuses from reaching certain "circles of perfection":
- Discounts on the purchase of certain groups of goods (rising from Tier to Tier)
- Chance (+1% on each Tier) to obtain free repair, reload or refueling (thank bearing fruit)
- Access to a special chain of missions
- "Show off" stuff: visible to other players titles, stickers on the hull

!!! New Bubblehead wich embodying the current rank.
One for each direction (military, trade, exploration, CQC).
As long you change a rank, the figure itself would change as well (became larger, more beautiful, with trembling elements, with illumination in the dark). And after changing the Tier, it would become faded and tatty again.
