Give my soldiers ranks!

[slayernz]

Hey, it would be cool if we could actually progress our soldiers up the food chain so to speak (based on numbers of battles they have had, or number of kills they've made).

For the officers ...

Prefix	Rank	Battles
2ndLt	Second Lieutenant	1 to 20
1stLt	First Lieutenant	21-40
Capt	Captain	41-70
Maj	Major	71-100
LtCol	Lieutenant Colonel	101-150
Col	Colonel	151-200
Bgen	Brigadier General	201-250
MajGen	Major General	251-300
LtGen	Lieutenant General	351-400
Gen	General	401+

For the grunts

Prefix	Rank	Battles
Pvt	Private	1 to 20
PFC	Private First Class	21-30
LCpL	Lance Corporal	31-40
Cpl	Corporal	41-60
Sgt	Sargeant	61-80
SSgt	Staff Sargeant	81-100
GySgt	Gunnery Sargeant	101-120
MSgt	Master Sargeant	121-150
1stSgt	First Sargeant	151-180
MGySgt	Master Gunnery Sargeant	181-210
SgtMaj	Sargeant Major	210+

Officers will take longer to move up ranks because let's face it, you don't see so many generals actually running around killing Xeno's.

Soldiers start rank climbs moderately quickly but it slows down from about Corporal onwards.

Yes, yes, yes! This system could be tied into so many things, like my idea for wargear usage, unlocking new weapons of armors for higher ranked grunts, campaigns (have harder campaigns require at least one soldier of a specific rank), etc.

Really great idea, exalted.

[Lt. Hathaway]

Maybe bump Major to 71-200 even; that's about where 'average' officers get weeded out. Very good idea, more fodder for player imagination, easy to implement.

Great suggestion, we've added #TA-1886 to include ranks for your captain.

and badges! new icons!

[slayernz]

Badges, we don't need no steenking .. oh wait, that'd be cool!
I want a "Centenary" badge for if you kill more than 100 Xeno's in one mission!
