The definitions that define Ace and the ranks among them are already well defined from World War One.

A flying ace is a military aviator who has shot down five or more enemy aircraft. The term originated in World War I in France, when French newspapers described Adolphe Pegoud as a flying ace after he became the first pilot to shoot down five German aircraft. Ace is also used to refer to non-aviators who have distinguised themselves by sinking ships, destroying tanks, etc. (i.e. U-boat ace). During WWI the Central Powers as well as Britain specified an ace as someone who had 10 or more confirmed "kills".

The defining parameters may have to be increased to reflect the growth of the technology used in modern space dogfighting and warfare or they may not.
Possibly even break it by vessel Class to help define the rules?
Even though some argue that the KDF have 2 extra specialized vessel classes the game defines all vessels under these parameters:
Federation Cruiser / Klingon Battle Cruiser
Federation Escort / Raptor
Federation Science vessel
Klingon bird of Prey
Therefore they can be used to set the minimum parameters to qualify for Ace.
The second question is, is this in one game/match or total time playing STO to qualify.
I would prefer that it be documented in one match basis and that every match you have that toon score 10+ kills it counts as 1 killpoint towards being considered an Ace.
