JawaJoey Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 In a faction, you can rise in rank. First, how many ranks are there? Also, what are the advantages of rising in rank? Do more items become available? I know that stormtroopers and AT-STs are available, but not if your a private. At what rank do you have the option to get these things?

Trahern Valley Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Rank's only function is to limit the amount of faction points you can have, and may also influence faction missions. You can only recruit and use personnel when you are overt. You can only use stormtrooper armor when overt, as well. Same goes for the uniform, though the hat is currently bugged. I've included faction point cost for some of these, beyond colonel I have no idea. Private Lance Corporal Corporal - 1000fp Sergeant Staff Corporal Staff Sergeant 2000fp Warrant Officer II Master Sergeant - 3000fp (my current rank, heh) Sergeant Major Warrant Officer I - 4000fp Second Lieutenant First Lieutenant - 5000fp Army Captain Major Lieutenant Colonel Colonel - 6000fp Brigadier General Major General Lieutenant General General High General Surface Marshal Apart from having a nifty rank, the only true purpose of the higher ranks is for the sake of getting faction bases for your city. Edited to add: I think it would be fair if you weren't allowed to get something as juicy as an AT-ST until you're an officer, but that's just my opinion.

Mon Cal Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 i got master sergeant before warrent officer 2, dunno if its different for rebels. any who, the next objective for the next patch is like droids and better faction perks, so for the time being ranks are meaningless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 The rank system is (or atleast was) faulty and incorrect. Several ranks where missplaced according to where they are supposed to be. Take the list mentioned above for instance: Staff Corporal is actually 1 rank higher than Staff Sergeant (don't ask me why, but that's how it is ) Also, I'm about to become a Master Sergeant. I'm now a Staff Sergeant. But if you follow the propper ranking system my next rank should be Sergeant Major. I guess someone in the Dev-Team haven't done their homework properly. The list should be like this for the Imperials: Non-commissioned personell: (usually do not wear rank plaques) Privat Corporal Sergeant Staff Sergeant Staff Corporal Warrant Officer II Master Sergeant Sergeant Major Warrent Officer I Commissioned Officers: Second Lieutenant Lieutenant Captain Major Lieutenant Colonel Colonel High Colonel Brigadier Major General Lieutenant General General High General Surface Marshal Upper Echelons: (not attainable in SWG) Moff Grand Moff Supreme Moff (only mentioned as a possible rank around ANH, non has been mentioned ever attaining it. Guess who would have gotten it if the Death Star didn't blow up ) Grand General Emperor or nominated executor or proxy Rebels would look fairly similar up to the upper echelons. It goes straight to the leader after that. They don't seem to have a High Colonel either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawaJoey Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 Now I get it. But right now I'm a Corporal, and the next rank is Staff Corporal, not seargent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
