Re: Officer ranks

i think the idea what really needs is to be worked a lil bit.. numbers
as example.. your officers be divided into what ever the names be...
so lets say 5 ranks...
rank 1 as the best rank and 5 the lowest

rank 1 35%
rank 2 30%
rank 3 25%
rank 4 20%
rank 5 15%
and so... and when u want to get more naq ( when ppt as an example ) u just set them all to the lowest level... i think this is the original idea but with numbers....

I can see this, but the amounts need woked out. 25 officers at 35% each is a tad much

Re: Officer ranks

well that can be a trouble yes... lol.. but there is one wau to fix it
simple
an officer gets 35% of the income.. but if its the only one.. if they are 2 then 35% of his Co divided in 2 ..
if 3 offcers then divided in 3

rank 1 35% with one officer it keeps 35% 2 officers i ll be 35%/2 etc etc
rank 2 30%
rank 3 25%
rank 4 20%
rank 5 15%
it also makes it a trouble for all ranks so lets state this Lore have 5 officers so he puts one on each rank of officer
Lores income is 100 millions ( just an example please dont take it personal)

rank 1 35% officer one gets 35% / 5 = 7.000.000
rank 2 30% officer two gets 30%/5 = 6.000.000
rank 3 25% officer 3 gets 25%/5 = 5.000.000
rank 4 20% officer 4 gets 20%/5= 4.000.000
rank 5 15% officer 5 gets 15%/5 3.000.000
he really is giving away a 25% of his income and giving a good gift to his best officers....
if he have 8 officer the income that the player gets should be divided in 8 and if he have 25 officers the income is divided by 25 .. and so and so ... now.. works for u ?

Good thinking, and the CO can class all the officers to a rank yes?

So i can have 1 rank 1 and 24 rank 5 correct?

I like this idea, coupled with being able to increase the income percentage, say 45% or 50% max? This would make having officers viable again.

Re: Officer ranks

yes it is... thats the point.. so u can have some as rank 1 and some as rank 5 and rank 2... they still get the percent but still divided in the amount of officers... so increassing it to 50% wont hurt those who have more than 10 officers... i guess the answer is yes...

Re: Officer ranks

such % thingies probably wont be added... admin said some time ago that ability to give different % to each officer would be too difficult...

That would be the best solution (and has been suggested before). Not all officers need or want extra income from their commander - they are the officer through loyalty, rather than because they get bonuses. The only thing I would say is that there still needs to be a limit (30% total) on how much of the commanders naq production can be given to officers - to make it limitless up to 100% (or to even increase it) could encourage multies.

i.e.

Officer A gets 10%
Officer B gets 15%
Officer C gets 5%
