[Harcourt.Fenton.Mudd]

I call my LN Indie a captain, because he commands a cruiser, so the rank is logical. I think Ive 'orderd' people prehaps enough time to count on one hand over the years (not counting on occasion when [LN] officers told other [LN]/Indies to follow me for whatever reason).



That said if someone just declared themselves an 'honroable high admrial' or some gibberish, they should expect to just be laughed at.



Now, if someone was to have a char in a military ID, AND have people following him and declare emself a flag rank it would be compleatly logical and there would be no reason to complain because the person got people to follow em BEFORE declaring said rank.

That said if said person tried to order other folks arround that wernt part of his group, and EXPECTED them to always listen, you'd eventualy see a slap down (or people docking/logging/cruising when the inevitable barghest swarm arrives rather than backing you up... )
