Sir Darric Vandhelm Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Ive had some thoughts about the implementation of ranks and titles. Pretty much all mmo type games have a system, so why not have two titles. Where I'm going with this is the first title is the rank, be it military e.g. Admiral or midshipman, or civilian e.g. investor or chairman. The second is the title. Everyone gets to use master and mister if they so choose, but a rewards for significant contribution to the war effort, you can earn a knighthood, or other lordly titles. The rank dictates the maximum level ship you can captain up to third rate. A knighthood is required to allow you to raise your flag on a 2nd or 1st rate. What do you think?

Lord Hood Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 There has already been a thread on this. I believe that Crankey started it with regards to gaining titles for specific things such as peerages and ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've performed key word searches such as "titles", "peerage" and found but nought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prater Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) I think it would be cool to have titles that you gain from ranks that are like they were in PotBS, in which you can choose to have the title applied or not. My rank in TDA is Captain. If I get the ingame rank of Admiral, instead of having Admiral be my title I would select my previous gained title of "Captain" to match my society rank. edit: Also, I think this was talking about In Game Titles for your character and not the forum Edited March 26, 2015 by Prater 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Ooooops, Prater I do believe you are correct. My most sincere apologies to Sir Vandhelm. I have removed my post. Having re-read the post, I quite like the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having re-read the post, I quite like the idea. Prater is correct, indeed I was discussing in game ranks. that would explain not being able to find a similar thread as we were talk across purposes.I think prater raises an equally valid point about society rank. Maybe we should have the option to display this instead of other ranks (navy/trade etc...)? I know in the games I have been guild affiliated, I would have liked this rank, which is awarded by my peers displayed, rather than one created by the game because I sunk a 1000 npc generic ships.
