    Question Ranks - change 'em or keep 'em

    I've been looking through the rank system and I'm not liking the stars. With real rank names, I think we should have real rank icons. The problem is I've only been able to find army ranks and we've been using navy ranks. We could also go back to Galaga badges.

    Opinions?

    EDIT: This is what the Army Ranks look like



    Here's a reminder of what the old Galaga badges looked like:

    Galaga badges is my vote, but I'm not around much anymore. The new theme is nice enough I suppose, just way too bright. Needs some dark theme action.

    I agree. Too much brightness dries me out faster.

    Galaga throwbacks. You need to add another 5 year marker or something for the 10 years folks, too.

    Yep...that qualifies as something completely off the wall. Leave it to Nija to try to make the ranking system useful in other aspects of his life.

    I say Army ranks, ahem, but get rid of the old Specialist ranks. Too complicated.
