Improvement: Maintaining the Highest ranks.

[VioletZero]

In an effort to contributing to each server having its own personality and preventing stagnation, I suggest that there be a point where battle ranks are something you compete for.

I'm going to use arbitrary numbers here, but here's how I think it should work.

Let's say that at battle rank 40, almost all features and weapons are available to you. But there are 50 battle ranks.

At level 41 and beyond, you are directly competing with other players for these ranks. There are a limited number of players that can be each rank and they are decided by battle performance.

The amount of players allowed at reach rank differs based on how many active players there are on the server. The higher population, the more at each rank there is. The higher the rank, the less people that are allowed in it.

But there can only be one rank 50 player per faction on each server.

While the other ranks are decided by player performance and contributions, the rank 50 is decided by vote on each election period. The players chosen for the vote are players who have the highest contributions as a Commander.

All players within the rank 41 to 50 range are given special privileges of varying usefulness.(From special skins to actual in game functions.) But the rank 50 player(The Supreme Commander) is easily the most privileged.

Rank 50 players are able to send out global announcements, call down special superweapons on high cooldown, use special command vehicles and are given spawn priority and can directly cancel other orders made by commanders. A rank 50 player is given a beacon of light that shines directly on them that is only visible to members their own faction.

If you haven't figured it out already, you CAN be demoted from these ranks. But you'd never be demoted beyond your playstyle of choice.

There will be regular wipes to give newer players a chance at these vaunted ranks.

Thoughts?
