Safe to say we'll keep the organizational effort in-game, and respond as such. I may be an Ensign currently, in-game I'll have my own ship and when the Fleet is active together, I'll react to those people of superior rank to myself.

...I think.

/energize defense fields if wrong!

As I understand it, even though everyone will command their own ship you still start as an ensign or as a lieutenant, and the officers aboard your ship will be subordinate in rank; as you move up in rank, there will be more variety in rank aboard your ship. So yeah, everyone will start out the same in game--but in fleet, we will have our ranks as assigned thus far.

At least that's how I've understood it so far.

Right-o, that was my understanding as well. Basically we're a "guild" with "guild ranks" which happens to be assigned as a 'Fleet' with 'Command Ranks'. Different terms, same meaning.

It is my understanding that our STO ranks do not directly reflect our 12th fleet ranks. the ranks we're using now are to provide us with a command structure and a way of knowing who is in charge of what. I'm sure that In-Game rank will have somewhat of an effect on your rank here in that a high rank in game means you have put forth a lot of effort for the fleet.
The FA will correct me if I'm wrong on this! :D

Rank in game and rank in here are not the same,

Say i am a Lieutenant and you a commander in the game itself. that does not give you the authority to go order someone, especially if it is someone you don't know, they will quickly dislike you.

Though the rank in the actual game has the benefit of giving you more playing options, for the rest especially in contact with others it is simply there for decoration.

When dealing with larger fleet operations such as raids or massive pvp battles we use our ranking system. Also here and on the STO forums our ranks are used.

Our admirals all have experience either in leading in MMO's or other important skills, the higher the rank you have with us the more work you do and put in. And as a result, the highest ranks get their ships first and other stuff.

Basicly, you work the most you earn the most, same as in real life.

Now it is important to know that the hard workers get it first, you all eventually get what you want but later then those who work the most. I think it is a fair system and have seen it work with succes for over 4 years.

In wow for example they call it DKP, (dragon kill points)

looks good from here. although 6.7 6.8 and 7.5 should have the "C" in commander capitalized (sorry to pick at this. but i've seen to many thing go to production that haven't been properly proof read)
