Ugh I would never want to be called a mercenary by the Imperial Guard.... don't even try to associate loyalists with unreliable and crass mercenaries.
But yeah I guess ranks would be cool based on standings.

But yeah I guess ranks would be cool based on standings. You know... We're all mercenary. It's like that it's the game. We are some "meat" that battles for NPC. Don't think because in a game you play for Imperial Guard that YOU ARE an Imperial Guard. For them you're a slave that battle for money. We call that a Mercenary. So you're a Mercenary ? 10.000.000 to 14.000.000 SP ? No I am a member of PIE Inc a paramilitary organisation designed with the defence of the Amarr Empire and the expansion of Imperial assets throughout the Amarrian warzones in Devoid and the Bleak Lands.
I do not sell my services to the highest bidder, I always fight Amarr Faction warfare, and vet public contracts, I do not fight for myself in PC, nor do I fly my ships for in my own interests.
No matter how you look at it I do not fit in with the concept of mercenary, nor do I choose to be one in New Eden. I am a soldier for the Amarr Empire, I only use Amarr gear except for my HAV, and am constantly a proponent of the expansion of Amarr interests.
I also was ex Sarum Imperial Guardsman for the 6th Company..... (( not lying its written into my bio))

But if there's too much people with "Honorific title" be sure i'll make them harder to get To be more viable in the time Why would SP dictate who gets a title, they could be the epitome of a traitor with 40 Million SP why should they have a title over say Aero with his measly 12m who has only ever fought for the Amarr?
I like the EVE based system where service over a long period of time determines rank. That encourages loyalty if you want you ranks, and loss of standings with a faction resets you Rank.

Because title is based on your Sp. It's not because your faith is into something that you're experimented. Title is about Experience and Experience about SP. Your faith into you faction (Amarr defender too.) and your determination will allow you to get Stars for the Amarr faster than anybody. So you will be REWARDED for what you're doing. With Stars and FW badges from EVE. And most important Reductions for the Amarr store that will allows you to buy Amarr stuff less LP/ISK. So what's the problem ? My idea actually reward people like you. SP should never translate to anything in FW, which is not about you personally but the efforts in for your faction. I have about 10m SP now, I go toe to toe with vastly more SP invested tankers than myself and win those battles. I do not believe they should rank higher than me because of a default that I cannot change.
However if ranks were accrued by number of battles and LP accrued in FW, then those who spend more time fighting within the command structure of say.... the State Peace Keepers would be rewarded for it, rather than some guy who just popped in for a match and was named king champion of everything because he had 30m sp.
As for badges I like the medals Idea but I have always wanted ribbons in this game to represent your basic stats and actions in Dust.

The man who openly condemned their religion and cause
Or the man who does the same job, maybe not as well, but avidly follows their creed and is fanatically loyal
Consequently if I walked into a Gallentean Office with Arkena would they hire me or him to lead their armies?

SP is about title and doesn't have anything with the factionnal. It's just a title dude. That doesn't have any effect. Just inform how much SP have the ennemy in front of you.
FW rewards (Stars) is an totally other idea and other system. And rewards time you've played for each faction and fidelity. And you're rewarded with stars AND reductions for the Faction Store. SO YES it rewards time passed fighting for your faction.
So actually YES someone with 30.000.000 SP will have a great title. BUT YES someone like you have stars and reductions.
Why for you we couldn't do the 2 ideas ?
OH sorry I don't know why i'm blathering on about FW then. My apologies.
I also wonder if corp LP store reductions will translate Dust from EVE..... I hope they do, the corp discount would be very very good.

First i think they'll need to see if the ideas is good in Dust then maybe in EVE. (CCP) BUT FIRST they need to see this thread !!!!!!!! No I mean some corps to my knowledge already have LP discounts, will those LP discounts be in EVE. I don't see why not.
