Falkner Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) There are a few posts saying that the soldier CO ranks are unrealistic - although that said, when you're vaporizing psionic aliens with lazer beams realism is rather subjective and a matter of preference, as with all videogames. For my preference though I like the idea of having a combat rating system replace the military ranks. For my personal taste I thought about a combat rating system from 0 (Recruit) to 7 (Hero) 0 Recruit 1 Regular 2 Experienced 3 Professional 4 Veteran 5 Elite 6 Specialist 7 Hero This is pretty easy to implement with the strings.xml and hardly worth mentioning in the modding forum. What is worth mentioning however, is the rating insignia I'm designing, I'd like feedback. Like all the content I create for myself I'd like to also share it with you guys. Only problem is the current insignia I've made for my own personal use is a pretty blatant imitation of the mass effect Specter N7 ranks. Even though I've created the images from scratch I'm wondering is this sufficiently different?

Falkner Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Edit: I should really check similar threads before posting, looks like Gomez did this waaaay before I did! So the debating and stuff is kinda moot. I'm still a little freaked out how similar our ideas were. I'm gonna leave the images here if Gomez wants to use them, he has my full permission to do whatever he likes with them Edited July 21, 2013 by Falkner grammar nazi, perfectionist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalrusJones Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Inspired by, but not of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoGomez Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Ha, what do ya know. Nice images, they look good (and very mass effect-esk, haha). I'll admit, the N7 / X7 bit was inspired by mass effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
