Both "Last EC Standing" and "Mutant Encounter" have been running successfully for a couple months now, and some pilots are gaining the lower "Ranks" with the associated increase in 'successful event credit prize'.

For example, as of right now in Last EC Standing, storm_titty has a 'second degree rank' on the leaderboard whereas everyone below him has a 'first degree rank'. Similarly, in Mutant Encounter, Azryayix gyarz has a 'second degree rank' etc.

Nation War and Starship Defense both have naming conventions for these rank degrees, but each of these Events have been running for years:

Nation War goes:

Diamond
Platinum
Gold
Silver
Bronze
Onyx

In Starship Defense, it's:

High Commander
Commander
Marshal
Standard
Guardian
Protector

I thought I would see if anyone in the community had any ideas for a Rank naming scheme for "Last EC Standing" or "Mutant Encounter": it's a good sign that they have lasted a couple months, and while it may a bit early to start a new naming convention I don't think it's premature to start some ideas. I'd be interested in either specific rank names, or even a general theme.

The actual Rank levels (how far you 'have to go to get there', and 'is it worth it') are my design, but I'd be interested in feedback on this as well.

Could just increment a level, clears up any ambiguity between ranks; beyond that the rewards are more than adequate in their current state.

Otherwise you could use military hierarchy but yeah that's more ambiguous than what's already in place but since it's more or less the same across most first world countries it'd do the job just fine too.

Way I see it the nation war doesn't need ranks the best reward is winning/surviving the credit prize is nothing more than a bonus!

Upon further thought you could reset the ranks every year and give some discord flair or something to that effect to the winners best solution to level the field once in awhile?
