Dah, if this would be normal Police!
I was thinking so far:
M.E.-1: Hand
M.E.-2: Able Hand
M.E.-3: Specialist
M.E.-4: Passed Specialist
M.E.-5: Skilled Specialist
M.E.-6: Boatswain
M.E.-7: Certified Boatswain
M.O.-1: Mate Apprentice
M.O.-2: Passed Mate
M.O.-3: Third Mate
M.O.-4: Second Mate
M.O.-5: First Mate
M.O.-6: Skipper (Captain)
M.D.-1: Assistant Deputy Fleet Director
M.D.-2: Deputy Fleet Director
M.D.-3: Deputy Fleet Director
M.D.-4: Fleet Director
M.D.-5: Director-General an umbrella rank for all departments of Armed Merchant Spacy
I donno, that's what I have in mind, however, the "ground forces" would be looking somwhat like regular police or so.This is a hybride force with right to arrest, seize, and even establish courantine zones, as well to wage full plaged overt operations against pirate hideouts (if anybody seen Exo-Squad, this is sort of more deluted version of Exo Fleet before Second Neosapian War)!
