Just trying to get all the sad little "--" out of rank titles in the core rulebook. I am trying to cover ALL the careers and when done I'll have a couple page supplement with the titles. I just think a bit of flavor here helps players envision what their career progression means in terms of their prominence and former responsibilities.
Citizen is another career well covered in previous releases and they had a rank structure. Here are my suggestions for rank titles for Corporate, Worker and Colonist Citizens where the inspiration came from Classic Traveller Supplement 4, the Spica Career Book 2 and the Cepheus Engine Core rulebook respectively. By inspiration it means I've tweaked it from what appeared a bit already.
Worker has a tech focus in the rulebook, I like not committing on that so that many careers can be covered. Colonist seems to be getting quite politically prominent at high ranks, maybe so much that it doesn't make sense they'd be an adventurer unless disgraced or the colony failed.
Anyway, looking for suggestions about changes.
