Fantastic! Like someone else said, earlier in this thread, you can raise my children as well!

I have a quirk - don't know if this is possible, at all, but is there a chance that when you promote a ship to Veteran Status, you can the ability to re-name the vessel?

I can't express in words how badly my pants would need to be washed if i made myself a veteran Enterprise-F...

Its possible but not historically accurate. However once it comes out i could tell you how too, its pretty simple.

Pretty much explains itself, they can't level-up. Unfourtunatly, that means I can't have Veteran Mediterranean & Venture Class.

What about the rom intel center can it become a veteran? I don't use it lots but i was just wondering

thats the only exception we are still uncertain about, but i think it will get a veteran rank

In my opinion, why not? I mean, the intel center would become veteren, given enough time and literal experience in the field. You can have elite outposts, and legendary outposts in life, right? I'd like to upgrade my intel center to veteran, it'd be pretty realistic I'm thinking.

from my gameplay point of view: it's the only station that has an experience level. that makes it of course quite unique, so it doesn't need to be treated equal to vessels, which this feature is targeted for.
my realism view: the station doesn't gain experience through direct combat like vessels do, so it doesn't need a veteran level.
so i am against the intelligence center to have the veteran level.

Good point there is no reason to make it more unique than it already is.

I think that the intelligence center is special enough to get along without veteran status (but I surly won't protest it it gets one).

Something connected to the alternative way of getting experience: Wouldn't it be realistic to let the non-combat vessels (in the sense of direct killling) like canaveral, shrike, all scouts, troop ships and many more gain their experience in different ways? The canaveral would more likly gain experience through dropping probes and tachyon scanning, than through killing other vessels. For troop ships you could count the vessels boarded (Why should it rankup through killing a ship, when it should rather bouard it?).

PS: I should've written this under feature request, I know.

Ok, that makes sense as well. I think that I'd definitely be good either way
You guys are awesome.
