Questions
During Episode 336 we discussed the idea of a new rank grind where Shan was incredibly against the idea, but Ben was more “meh” about the whole thing, so we thought we’d get your opinion, do you want:
- Ranks above Elite (i.e. Elite+ or Archangel)
- The existing ranks to be spread out more? (i.e. Very Deadly etc)
- A prestige mechanic
- Recognition for a greater variety of game achievements (i.e. Mining, AX, Passenger, etc)
- No changes to the current ranks
- Change what you like about Trade and Exploration Ranks, but leave Combat alone
- A new “Post Elite Rank” grind (i.e. The Banking Consortium has noticed your trade rank and we’d like you do do some jobs for us, etc)
