- Proposal
- Add a dynamic pin that you can radial to display highest earned rank while a combatant or SF.
- Justification
- Adds world depth, character customization options, and pvp authority visual identification.
- Motivation
- This is something many players have been asking to have for a while, and with the new Shatterpoint GCW reworks, it appears to be an opportune time to formally request implementation.
A big project, sure, but one I believe has a lot of worth and merit.
-When first enlisting with the Rebels or Imperials, or joining with the Shady Pirate as a Mercenary, you are given a blank rank plaque board for that faction. A new one may be requested from a recruiter or the Shady Pirate, but you may only have one at a time per character and they are No Trade. If you leave the faction (or join one if you are a Merc), then the plaque is either removed or converted to the new faction's when joined.
-Imperial plaques are placed on the left breast, Rebels on the right, Mercenary on the right shoulder sleeve, and Petra pins are shifted to left shoulder sleeve.
-Plaques may only be worn while Combatant or Special Forces. This includes Mercs which must be a declared helper to wear theirs.
-Initial radial options are "select branch" and "select rank" which are both empty.
-On reaching an officer rank, the plaque radial options for "select rank" start populating with up to the highest rank you have earned. This populates your plaque display on selection.
-All plaques default to Army ranks, but new branches may be selected conditionally.
-Army is always available, Navy is opened if you are a factional ace and active squadron member of that faction, Engineer/Research if opened if you are an Advanced artisan profession master, Security/Intelligence is opened if you are a Master Ent/Dancer/or Musician. Your plaque defaults back to Army if you lose any of these requirements.
-A miniscule 5% or similar buff to earned GCW points would incentivize wear but be small enough to keep from making it a requirement.
-Imperials default to Army Line. Imp Factional Aces can unlock Navy Line. Artisans can use Army Operations. Entertainers can use Army Security.
-Rebel rank insignias do not change layouts, only colors. Pilots may unlock blue. Artisans may unlock yellow (not shown in canon, but no canon equivalent on record). Entertainers may unlock green.
-Mercenaries do not get rank selections, but the branch requirements change the shoulder patch/badge to a new symbol. Default is a new non-affiliated unique symbol (possible design contest event option?). Smuggler aces may use the Hutt Cartel. CorSec may use CorSec's symbol. RSF may use the symbol of the Royal House of Naboo. Freelance factional aces may switch to Black Sun. Artisans may use Pyke Syndicate. Entertainers may use Crimson Dawn.
