Due to down-time, and the uncertainty of server (problem seems to be solved, wait and see), have found myself with an abundance of time on my hands. Especially, when my little bugger of a daughter has hit the sack. Such abundance of time has allowed me to articulate several proposals for review;
1. I propose a re-vamping of the ranks to run along the hierarchy of the U.S. Navy. My reasoning is that our present ranks have some flaws.
Admiral
Vice Admiral
Commander-is subordinate to Captain
Captain-see above
Major-is an Army rank
Lt.
Cadet-not out of the academy
My suggestion is such,
Admiral-insignia-4 stars
Vice Admiral-3stars
RearAdmiral(upperlvl)-2stars
RearAdmiral(lowerlvl)-1star
Captain-eagle
Commander-silver leaf
Lt.Commander-gold leaf
Lt.-double bar
Lt.jg(Junior Grade) silver bar
Ensign- gold bar
To keep it even simpler-
Admiral-4stars
Rear Admiral-2stars
Captain-eagle
Commander-silver leaf
Lt.-double bar
Ensign-gold bar
Doing so allows for adding additional ranks when our numbers grow. Also, it provides a clearer, at least for me, line of command. Sorry on this count, but my brief time in the service won't allow me to let this go:)
2. In addition, I propose a Table of Organization and Equipment chart for review. It is a rough draft and for proof-reading by all members. I do this also for more clarity of organization and authority.
[attachmentid=1316]
3. Due to a question of imbalance posed by civil authorities (Igiss believe we may garner more troops than other Houses) as a LN aligned faction, I propose, in conjunction with elgatodiablo's order, we turn SA into an invite only House, with rank of canidate being above 30-40. All applicants must be approved by members and civilian authority. However, due to limits on civilian authority's time we allow probationary status with our approval, but final call rests upon civil authority.
