Bump because I adore this idea.

Out of curiosity, what do you think of the other proposed ranks?
Good very solid. Do the EVE side ranks refer to a more defensive vibe to the titles?
Yep.
The Aegis, Guardian, Shield stuff is found in the EVE rankings as well.

...
Caldari
10 Chancellor
Minmatar
10 Warlord
Amarr
10 High Priest

Use the titles from EVE. For instance, Minmatar has things like Blade Commander (lolol nova knifer commander) and Valklear General.
The titles are already laid out for you. All you have to do is have your website team figure out how to put the tags on the forum without breaking the forum.

Don't you think that's more important to add the Commando / Heavy / scout for EACH race on the LP store than have a title for the faction.... ?
And the eHP buff (sorry to have to talk about it here, but there aren't any topic about it any more) you've said you'll tell us (before the patch note) if you make the eHP buff or not for assault... Wait and see.
I say it again, it's very important to add all suits in the LP market.
Ho yeah Love you Rattati!

Good suggestions guys ...but i would say that the Caldari recommendations are are leaning too far with the purely Japanese based titles. As noted several times by CCP they have some distance northern European tones.
Off the top of my head I don't have a lot of good ideas but you could weave in some old Prussian military ranks such as:
Jaeger (Huntsman, Light Infantry, Scout)
Dragoner (actual rank and ties back to the Templis Dragonaurs to a degree)
Hauptman / Rittemeister (Captain of Infantry or Cavalry)
Oberst (Colonel)

I thought the Japanese one was a little bit weak myself, but wasn't too sure on how to improve it, and I have a few ideas for the Amarr one but I'm not entirely sure how to name some of their ranks due to lack of command in the language I'd be working in.

The racial ideas of New Eden are mixed at best and it's tough to draw too many direct parallels to societies and cultures of today - by design from my understanding.
There are some pretty clear areas where the four races were noticeably influenced by archetypes from our current and historical examples.
That said... I generally like the idea of forum and in-game titles/ranks for FW oriented folks. What would be kinda cool is that the rank is earned via achievements (example: X amount of Nova Knife kills and you can use the title Blademaster).
You could have the FW-esque titles like we've been discussing and some in-game specific ones...might be kinda neat.

MINA Longstrike wrote:I am kind of working on amarr names with true adamance. What's your thoughts on the gallente ones posted kirk?
To answer your question and being completely honest; no, I do not like the proposed ones except for the Minmatar.
The problem with what everybody is trying to do here is make all the factions have bombastic, flamboyant names like the ones mentioned previously before. Having all the names that sound like what's been proposed sounds boring and dull only because you'll have all races sounding the same which in turn makes their "unique fantasy sounding names" not so unique sounding.
Personally I feel that all factions should have their own feel to their ranking system.
The proposed names for the Minmatar are pretty much perfect for them because of their tribal background, and what influence of humanity they are based on. Their influence being, Northern European, African and various "Third world regions" that would take kindly to the more mythological and such. That is their Background, and that is why the proposed names match them.
Then you have the Amarr. Yes, their rankings would be more unique than what we'd be used to be you have to think about where the Amarr influence comes from. The Amarr, while flashy and bombastic, are also very Noble and their names should reflect that. They would be very similar to the positions of a Abrahamic-religious church but in a more, militaristic and "chivalrous" manner. Think Crusading knights fused with Persia from the crusades and other military religious type "factions" from humanity's past. That's what Amarr should have their rankings from.
The Gallente and Caldari however are interesting to talk about. They are the ones in New Eden that would have the most militaristic, traditional rankings because of their similar origins (Gallente and Caldari are heavily fused with each other in history for those of you who did not know and were once the same faction) as well as their individual culture and history.
Caldari, while sounding more influenced by what Japan and Central European tones would still have a very stern sounding militaristic tone to it. A very honorable, dutiful people with a strong sense of valor. Their names should reflect as such
Lastly you have the Gallente, which oddly the simplest one for me to explain. While Gallente do love to name many of their things from Mediterranean area based Mythology as well as some others it's not as infused with the Culture as say the Minmatar are with their mythology or Amarr are with their religion. The best way to think of the Gallente would be the Modern Western World, yes we may name some of our things after mythology of past but it is in no way a major part of our Culture, the same is with Gallente. The Gallente would Naturally have the most traditional sounding rankings primarily because of their background. The Gallente influence for the most part is based on Western Europe. Most of the Military rankings the world uses today originated from the Region Gallente are based from and have the majority of their influence from.
So Gallente Probably wouldn't get rid of longstanding traditions that have been with Humanity for ages in place of some Greek Folklore that they'd prefer to just name objects after since they came from the place where the ranks originated from in the first place.
What we should heavily stay away from is having all races sound the exact same with no regards to Lore and history of each. While you guys are looking at a part of the lore for the races you are only looking at a small part of that faction and ignoring history all together and naming the military rankings off of that single piece of knowledge that is known.
I think we can do better than the names that are being proposed, more lore appropriate ones, although the Minmatar is spot on.
see you space cowboy...

The ****** youth aspect of the caldari is largely due to the tube children after the decimation of caldari prime. Ethnically the caldari are American, German/Russian, and Japanese. Socially they draw the most from Japanese and American corporate cultures (where in japan your boss can tell you to take three weeks off to go and find a woman and get married and that there's office mixers between your place and this other company), and to a lesser extent they draw from other things.

I highly suggest you check out the links that I provided with caldari ship names, because in there you can also view all the other faction ship names as well (not just the ones that eve pilots use, but the ones the various empire navies themselves use). For the most part, the names suggested thus far fit the tone and theme of each race very well.
Liking or Disliking them is totally up to you, but I'd suggest that if you don't like what people have suggested, make your own suggestions - don't let others decide for you.

You haven't read a single thing I've said nor have you even read any of the previous post have you. We have already made a ranking system for the Gallente that we feel is appropriate. I also already hinted that there is a difference in what you'd name a vehicle built for war and what you'd title a being based in his position in the military.
you do not have Russian military ranking calling themselves Crocodile General and such just because they name their vehicles and objects after such things.
Who's deciding for me? I do not see where someone has made a decision for me anywhere. You're coming off as offended because I did not like 3/4 of the suggestions.
