I have another question here - there is lots of ranks but since everyone will be captain of their own ship in STO how you will handle ranks according to the game?
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)
