In Consideration of the Starport and Cantina instituting member ranks, I was wondering if anybody thought about how the Officer Ranks should be designated.

Most would assume the Naval ranks of the wet navy and/or Coast Guard, since this seems to be the typical Sci-Fi convention. However certain 50's thought would have brought it under the Air Force nomenclature. Then again we could end up with a two part type system akin to the Navy with the Marines, where certain space force divisions used one while different divisions used the other.

If you could, would you create a new ranking system? and if so, what would it be?

Make it simple and use Naval ranks.......

Probably navy ranks just to keep it simple.

Naval Ranks simple?

What have you two been drinking?

Why they don't even know where Captains belong.

Now add to that the fact that the insignia used on their uniforms is either confusing (shoulder boards with stripes and half stripes, whirligigs scrambled eggs and stars) or the typical insignia for that level used by the other services (ie a single gold bar for Ensign, aka 2nd Lieutenant in the other services).

So far, it seems the naval rankings are winning. We've added some epaulets to give them a bit more flare. Can anyone place them?

Personally, I wouldn't complain if the ranking was based on Marvins

Now I am going to have to use my RM66-BK discombobulator on you.......

I always thought the Star Trek way of doing it was pretty easy to follow...

I was never in the military and we're not a military family, so I don't really know the differences between the AF ranks and the Navy ranks...
