Combat Rating instead of Rank mod

Recommended Posts

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? Comments please

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 :D
