Homeworld Cataclysm Indepth Information - Ranks
**********
5. RANKS
**********

Cataclysm records combat kills and experience of single ships. Higher ranked ships will travel faster and their weapons will be more powerful. Ranks are shown by 4 purple stars over the health bar; 0 stars means that the ship is brand new or that it killed very few crafts; 4 stars indicates that this is an elite ship which survived a large number of fights. (Note: I have the Italian version of the game, and the translation might be incorrect, and increase percentages are IMO.)

+ 0 stars, Flight Sergeant: all ships start with this rank. Speed and firepower are the standard values listed in the Ships Briefing.

+ 1 star, Lieutenant: this rank is awarded to ships which survived a few battles. Speed and firepower are pretty the same as for the first rank.

+ 2 stars, Squadron Leader: Speed and firepower increased by 20-30%.

+ 3 stars, Wing Commander: Speed and firepower increased by 30-40%; begin to pay attention to your ships: even 1:2 outnumbered Wing Commanders may destroy a Flight Sergeant wing with only a few or no losses.

+ 4 stars, Air Marshal: the highest rank which a ship can achieve, the increase of speed and firepower is about 40-50%.

So recently we passed 6.000.000 visits to this site. That's 6 MILLION unique visits. All these good people have so far downloaded the hosted files over 300.000 times. Considering it is over a time span that is fast approaching 20 years, it may not be huge numbers, but keeping this running since January 2005 has not always been without glitches. We were so many more then, and a lot are still active in other channels. Please help me out a bit, if you like what you see and would help me keep this up and running for another 20 years, please consider hitting that button there below and send what you are able to my way. This is the only AD you will ever see on this site.
