I like it all, except maybe for Aeon, I don't feel that it is fitting to use roman legion names for Aeon. I would personnally prefer titles in the line of crusader, like templar or paladin or hierophant (something more religious), or this kind instead of legate and Centurion. "Zealot" could also be a first rank and Crusader second rank.

The uef ranking is prety obvious...

For the aeon, I will place the avatar of war a little higher. I dont like the priest rank maybe inquisitor should be better. Centurion not sure about this... maybe i should use the therm of champion (and put a little higher in the ranking system)

For seraphim, it sound seraphim....

Cybran i am alrigth with the ensign, elite commander , agent , starshina and commendarm ( i have to search few of them, the russian one). The drone and inspector..... not the best one. But i dont have idea to replace them. Do you have cool rank in german??

For aeon, avatar of war is the highest rank. For seraphim, associate rank with length of the name, ie Se, Sou, Suum, Suthe, Souestle etc

i dont know really but isnt "admiral" over "general"
or is that a different system?
for cybran TERMINATOR MAYBE :D???
i mean they are basically robots.
for aeon i think it should be avatar of war -> champion -> supreme commander.
and should "supreme commander" maybe be changed for each faction?
although it wouldnt work on seraphim

no no no, germans have the most fucked up military ranking names in the world

also i personally i would like Specialist more instead of Corporal

also i dunno why "Drone" should be better than Ensing

what are the seraphim ones based uppon?

and the "Avatar of war" that marxon, isnt he? i thought he is one of the highest ranked ones so that one should maybe be straight behind Evaluator
Riza i think is crusader and she is also pretty high, something like fletcher so probably at the level of colonel
aaaaand last but not least for aeon some place for the "Champion" ?
maybe as last level because im not particulary a fan of having just "Suprem Commander always as highest level, that seems to be boring

For UEF in SC the highest military rank is Chief in Command President Riley or just general as in FA General Hall was leader of the UEF (and all humans) and not some strange "suprem commander"
For Cybran Dostya and Brackman are the military leaders so probably Elite Commander should be the highest here or "Leader of the Cybran nation.

I would like to propose a slightly different system:
Ze_PilOt wrote:Uef : ["Private", "Corporal", "Sergeant", "Captain", "Major", "Colonel", "General", "Supreme Commander"],
Aeon : ["Paladinr", "Legate", "Priest", "Centurion", "Crusader", "Evaluator", "Avatar-of-War", "Champion"],
Cybran : [ "Drone", "Node", "Ensign", "Agent", "Inspector", "Starshina", "Commandarm" ,"Elite Commander", ],
Seraphim :["Su", "Sou", "Soth, "Ithem", "YthiIs", "Ythilsthe", "YthiThuum", "Suythel Cosethuum"]


This adds some more cannon name (tnanks sheppard) and makes the seraphim names sort of make sense.

i think cybran needs terminator somewhere. they are robot like. it just fits.
I think instead of commandarm or starshina (i dont get that name anyways) terminator would be really cool.
it is hard to find fitting names for cybran and i think elite commander is a little bit... boring.
i dont feel like it has anything to do with the cybran story...
