[QUOTE]Originally posted by Darkwing: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Phoenix: [qb] OK - here's an alternative. Inatead of starting from the RN, I will start from the USN. As you can see, it is very similar to the previous one. Ranks: Crewman 3rd Class Crewman 2nd Class Crewman 1st Class Petty Officer Chief Petty Officer Senior Chief Petty Officer Perhaps they abolished MCPO (as well as the PO grades), due to the lesser number of enlisted personnel on automated ships compared with modern ships. [/qb][/QUOTE]Interesting. Also, the USN has been considering simplifying the structure. Seaman PO (maybe Junior PO and Senior PO, maybe just PO) Chief ENS LT CDR CPT ADM I like the shortened officer list, but feel that POs need three grades, as each level has different amounts of seasoning. The only reason for Senior Chiefs and Master Chiefs, though (like multiple ADM grades) was to provide room for promotion. I figure we should replace that with paygrade steps, like GS workers. Trek, of course, assumes that money no longer exists, so I don't know what advancement we could provide them for longer service in lieu of adding ranks. In fact, that's why I figured a race I created for my fiction has several grades of ens/lt/cdr/cpt/adm equivalents - they have Vulcan lifespans, so they go through a lot more ranks during their 50-100 year career. That, and everyone starts as enlisted before becoming officers... But in a human organisation, I'd say our current scheme is too top-heavy and has too many grades, while the new idea being considered may cut too much. I'd run about E-1 to E-6, W-1 to W-3, and O-1 to O-6, maybe even cutting out the warrants entirely. [/QB][/QUOTE]
