read evrything attentively!!!
i have a suggestion about the ranking system.
ok take a look at this picture first:

evry new player must start with the "NEWBIE" rank,
gaining the bars only works on "objective/mission" type of game mode's.
(you cant gain any single bar on B.C. type of game mode)
*edit*
you can only gain 1 exp. bar, by accomplishing 1 mission,
but it only works on these ranks below:
LAME
AMATURE
NEWBIE
GOOD
it will be different after those ranks,
example:
EXCELLENT: accomplish 2 missions to gain 1 bar
PROFESSIONAL: accomplish 3 missions to gain 1 bar
EXPERT: accomplish 4 missions to gain 1 bar
MASTER: accomplish 5 missions to gain 1 bar
HIGHMASTER: accomplish 6 missions to gain 1 bar
COMMANDO: accomplish 10 missions to gain 1 bar
*edit*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*edit*
check this picture below:

now if a new player lost his first mission.
than all the bars from the "LAME" "AMATURE" will be active.
if he keeps losing, he'll keep losing bars,
and when he lost all the bars on the "LAME" rank.
nothing will happen, but if he wanna level up again,
he needs to finnish 50 missions
to get back to the amature/newbie rank.
so its better for new players to train themself first on B.C. mode,
or training mode,(if its ever gonna be implented in TC:E)
before starting a mission.
*edit*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
after you gain all the bars on the commando rank:
you will get 1 star.

to earn a second star,
you will have to finnish 100 missions,
and if you lost a mission, doesnt matter, the system only counts the missions you have accomplished.
same method if you wanna earn your 3rd 4rth and 5th star.
5 stars is the maximum amount of stars you can have.
so you have to accomplish 400 mission to get all 4 of them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
after you earned all 5 stars,
you can earn TCE's official logo.

to earn a TCE logo,
you will have to accomplish 50 missions.
with out failing to accomplish any single mission,
if you won 49 missions, and lost the next mission,
you will have to start over again trying to accomplish 50 missions with out losing any.
---------------------------------------------------------
ALL YOUR EXP. POINTS WILL BE SAVED IN YOUR PROFILE.


check the link below for more info. about the profile:

ALL THE EXP SHOULD NOT DISAPPEAR IF YOU LEAVE A SERVER.
LIKE IN E.T.<--- IT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE SAVED IN YOUR PROFILE.
--------------------------------------------------------
this will make people get freaking addicted to this game
this means, a full server list 24/7, lol
it also keeps evryone motivated on each mission,
so each mission will be very intense, because who wants to lose a bar?
*edit*
this was my suggestion about the "RANKING SYSTEM"
any comments or idea's?
