How about we dont get things that will take most literally years to get and access all the features of DS? For some GA is high enough.

That would be interesting.. but man would that guy need some protection bcus.. everytime he was in a battle everyone would gun for him.. and maybe even his own fleet..
Ive always liked the Idea of Visual Distinctions between nooblets and vetrens.. back when someone busted out a station.. people would sit there in awww.. but I think something more would be needed now a days.. with GA's and probable Emperiors..
I would like to suggest that GA and GA plus's get some Visual markings.. on there ships..like
Kluth get Bigger teeth or Darker Red.. or brighter orange or yellow that would suggest older and more experenced Hive vessels
ICC would get Blue Stripes or accents.. and maybe more retro 1950's esk Tail fins
The Ugto would get Black or White Strips makking them look more Tiger like.
and maybe Spiked or sloped armor... and a naked dancing woman painting for the bombers.
thats all i can think of now..

this is serius
myself im 2 x GA
some are getting to the 4 x GA mark
with 3 station designs i see no problem in dirverting them over a few more ranks
guys you are meant to play this for years
and having something to go for i think is nice, even thugh i enjoy the game without ranking, its still fun to have some ranks and bages to go for.
as for 640k mark = emp

No Rag...a think about this...a new rank pushing 160k is very unrealistic......how long does an avg peep get to 160k??? way to long to unlock all the features of a GAME. I understand what you are saying....uber pres=something (unattainable) to most but think about it just how many peeps have 200k+ pres?? Not that easy to get unless....you play day and night 24/7 and common....gamers want to have a realistic goal to unlock all the features of a game and not have to play for 2-3 years to get it. Thats just crazy.
I have bout 96k pres after bout 2 YEARS of playing DS and honestly if I'm limited to things according to my pres for that then I'm not paying anymore to DS thats just riduculious.

Extra ranks would be a good addition. I can see where you are coming from, JRE, but if you look at the current rankings, sure, there are not a lot of 160k+ prestige people. However, if you remember how many have had it zeroed, there are quite a few more who are there, or close, and a new rank, or extra features for those who have paid and played that long would not be such a bad idea.

A new rank would be fine. It should take a very long time to accoplish the highest stuff in a MMOG. And a new rank would drive people to play more say they get to that rank.

Politics and such is coming after 1.483 (1.484 I think...).
Plus remember, prestige gain is going to be slowed down in 1.483. None of this fast bombing crap we have now.

If there is going to be a major prestige slowdown then I think we should have prestige reset. Make it fair for the new players.

Yeah, you earned by playing a game. It doesn't mean anything.

You were there I think when I merely said that a prestige reset would be the fairest for the new players. I think you remember the response I received? Too many kids playing cant deal with the "loss" of their precious prestige they "worked" so hard for. And there would be a crap storm.

simplest solution. those people with 2 and 3x GA rank can reset their own profiles, and instantly have 12 new ranks to gain. pretty sweet deal if you ask me. and since they're oh so skilled, im sure they'll have no trouble at all making back the pres
