i mean it shouldnt be hard, im a bit tired of the ranks causing confusion due to authority and what not, i dont wanna go back to naval ranks in this, i just want QM and what not to be a higher rank again, perhaps naval ranks again if people are interested

I would like a mix of naval and marine ranks. some roles naval only, some roles marine only, some could be a mixer. But yeah as of now the rank structure is very meh.

I had a PR up for returning the old marine ranks

# About the pull request This increases the ranks of the following roles at hig…hpop (120 Players): SL - Always set to SSGT RTO - Always set to SGT Engi, Medic, Spec, SG - Set to LCPL, If they have a gold medal they're a CPL. They're specialists, after all! Marines - if they have 175 hours and there's more than 120 players, they have access to LCPL, as high as low-playtime ""trained"" role Todo: Check playercount at roundstart, rather than when ranks are chosen, so that ranks don't increase as time goes on. I was going to put this in an initialization subsystem, but I couldn't find any good one. Please direct me to where I can put the check code.  # Explain why it's good for the game Kinda strange how one Sergeant is in charge is in charge of 15-20 people, in the army it's usually 4-12. This remedies that. Ive seen squads as large as 30+ and still manned by a Sergeant. # Testing Photographs and Procedure For obvious reasons (I do not have 120 players to get on my test server) I cannot test this, but will try to bruteforce some tests on a local, If I am specifically asked to. # Changelog :cl: add: Marine paygrades increase for playercounts above 120. /:cl:

If I get permission from Zonespace I’d return it and naval ranks.

this seems to only be the marine roles, im talking about the ship as a whole >:D but it is nice to see someone else put in effort to try change some stuff! i do think the marines as LCPL could cause problems (if players can exploit something they will exploit something)
