Military rank

A wee query on missions in the war zones: Do you gain military rank doing missions from the stations in a WZ as well as from the carriers?

Yes, any missions you do in Warzones increases your millitary rank.

A little off topic but when we were mping together you and I were wondering how many kills it takes to make you and ace pilot, well apparently it is five or more. So any one with 5 or more kills in evochron are officially aces.

Geeeeeez, only five ?
When I started playing renegades I think it was something like 50 or 100 or more. Are you sure it is 5 and not 500 ? LOL:P:P:P:P:P

Maars that is what wikipedia said but you know how accurate that site is. So maybe we could make up our own version of an ace pilot for Evochron.

I do believe that, in real life, five kills has been the number needed to be considered an ace since World War I. In real life, five kills is a lot.

Here's the best way to measure it:

When was the last time you got 5 kills in one life, against real players in a dogfight (and a mutually consented to dogfight, at that...sorry Rommi, that excludes you

)

I would consider the player capable of that feat to be an ace.

Aaaah, I see where you guys are coming from. Yes, in real life I agree five kills in a dogfight would make you an Ace. But I would argue that it should completely depend on the skills of your opponent. If you are a skilled and experienced fighter and you kill five rookies easy targets over ones life as a fighter pilot (Like Romulan) that should not make you an Ace, but a coward.

Now if you are a Rookie and you take out Romulan once then you should be considered an Ace. How about it Vice ? instant promotion to Ace for any rookie Pilot killing Romulan. ROFL

:P:P:P:P

I suspect that any "rookie" pilot that kills the Romulan, would do so by pure chance!;)

I think this is impossible for a rookie to kill Romulan by pure chance. Romulan would rather self destruct then having to carry the shame of being killed by a Rookie Pilot. LOL
