I wouldn't want to be promoted higher than Captain myself. Then again in my fan-fiction I get shoved into a Major's slot only because you HAVE to have that rank (or Above), reluctantly. Then again due to politics I get shoved upline two more ranks in 2 years!(Unprecedented)... Due to both exemplerary performance and the cowardice of the joint chiefs (like they want to leave Earth for a possible onw way trip!).
Now I want to learn how to change ranks in FS2 just for one pilot (if possible) or for a group of pilots who choose to go ground pounder/joint task force option. US Army ranks go for Mechwarrios( RDF Destroids). Though most Starships and Naval units use US NAval ranks, Rank/Grade makes equal lines of Command and Control so that is not a problem of mixing rank types (generals/Admirals)...
BTW My rather 'unconventional' style of command has only gotten worse due to the influence of a certain Major General in the REF (named Hunter)...

My XO ends up 'taking the con' more often than any other ship in the Earth fleet. I mean where is it written the the CO of a warship MUST be on the bridge as long as there is a clear channel of communication between them? Oops! can't talk now bogey on my six! L8tr!!!
