Title: Incorrent rank names in campaign mode in SFC2 and SFC2 OP
Post by: rmcin329 on January 09, 2009, 07:48:09 pm

i have noticed that every time i've played the above mentioned games, that in the campaign mode, the intro info for each race states a rank specific to each race.

But in the campaign map, the rank is always Lt. Commander, regardless of the actual rank you should be.  See examples below.  Has anyone ever figured out how to fix this?

Hydran: Real rank: Sub Commander, In campaign mode rank: Lt Commander

ISC: Real rank: Lieutenant, In campaign mode rank: Lt Commander  SIDE NOTE:  ISC does not have a Lt Commander

Romulan: Real rank: Ante-Tribune, In campaign mode rank: Lt Commander

Mirak: Real rank: Sub-Commander, In campaign mode rank: Lt Commander

It is  just the way  the  game  is set  up for gaining  prestige  that is  what  it  is  really  for.It  really  has  nothing  to  do  with  your  accual rank.You  can  think about  it  this  way  as  Klingons  don't  use  the  naval ranking  system it is  the  army  as  they have  Generals.I wouldn't  pay  much attention  to  it  as  it  just  for  your  prestige  nothing  else.

I know that i can just ignore it, but i was still hoping to see if anyone had found a fix for it anyways.

Also, keep in mind that the Campaign Rank system in SFC2 and OP is a little different then in Star Trek.  SFC is based on many things from SFB, so some of the Ranks you see are either the closest to Star Trek Ranks or are based on what SFB's has in there catagories.  As rmcin329 had pointed out, in Star Trek the Klingon Rank Structure is more like our Army Military, but in SFB, its a bit more like the Navy with some similarites to the Army. 

but you are right, for game mechanics, its really not that important as all Empires have a rank simiar to a Lt. Commander for example, even if it doesn't totally corespond to Star Trek..
