Ranks</A>
</H2>
Here comes the list of ranks in the German and the English
version together with the number of points you have to get to advance to a
given rank.
<P>

The following table shows the correspondence between the mission type and the
points you get for the successful completion of a mission:

<P>
Different kinds of military missions are bound to your
rank. In the federation you carry unimportant stuff until you get promoted to
Sergeant; then the first secret messages may be carried by you. You will get
your first military assassination mission as Sgt-Major. After your promotion
to Major you will get additional reconnaissance missions and a Colonel may
execute bombing missions. The empire handles equivalent ranks the same way.
You seem to get no new type of mission when you advance further in rank
although there are many rumors that you get new missions to destroy enemy
ships at Commodore/Marquis level.
<P>
The above does not hold, if you execute missions for more than one side. I
made the mistake of working for the empire after I advanced to Colonel and
had gotten my first few bombing missions. I advanced to Squire in the empire
and went back to the federation. Now I had the problem, that I got no more
bombing missions but had to stay with the usual reconnaissance missions. I
eventually got bombing missions again, but working for the empire surely
stopped my federal career for a while.
<P>
The safest way to advance in the federation and the empire at the same time
seems to be the famous ``rank swing'': Advance one rank in the federation,
work for the empire and advance one rank there, return to the federation and
so on until you are Admiral/Prince and ELITE and bored to death.
<P>
Your rank is not the only prerequisite you need to get a certain type of
mission. You have to own all the possible medals for earlier missions first.
You get medals for:
<OL>
<LI>the first delivery of an important item like gravitic detonators,
</LI>
<LI>the first delivery of secret communication,
</LI>
<LI>the first successful assassination,
</LI>
<LI>the first successful reconnaissance mission,
</LI>
<LI>the first reconnaissance mission with resulting excellent film and
</LI>
<LI>the first successful bombing mission.
</LI>
</OL>
A strange side effect is, that you must not perform all
reconnaissance missions perfectly, because if you do, you will not get your
fourth medal!
<P>
The complete list of medals for the German and the English version of the
game looks as follows:
