Rework for Admiral levels

[Archived Post]

Hi there, just popping in with a quick suggestion.
When a player hits Captain 11 (RA0) you should get the choice to either continue as a Captain, or to become an Admiral. If you choose the Captain progress then the story progresses as it does and we have 5 Rear Admirals battling out on Starbase 82 while our BOffs visit the replicators in our quarters :p

But if you choose the Admiral path, you can choose to promote one of your BOffs to Captain rank, and they take the Captain position. You can do this for as many ships as you have and then as an Admiral you get a nice new section of Starbase 1 with your own personal office. From there you can do what you can do in your ready room currently. Except you can give your BOff Captains orders. From this console you can also 'be' one of your BOffs.

I think this would give people a better sense of being an Admiral. Please post questions/suggestions/feedback and the like :p

I think your suggestion would be great! I would like that, and so I agree.

Even though I don't think Cryptic does care, that there are way to much Admirals in the game...

For me this is a great kick down, seeing all those Admirals, with their ships...

In the Movies and Series Admirals had no ship, only as a leader of a fleet...

Captain was the highest rank for a Ship Captain...

I absolutely agree. I think that we should have the option of staying a captain (Think Capt. Kirk in Generations, "Don't let them promote you.") Even though my character is a RA, I still have Captain's pips on his uniform and have his title set as "Captain" (not that it does any good LOL). Promoting a BO to Captain makes sense, too.

I'm hoping to get a dev post as to wether this is actually possible or not? :p
