Understanding Ranks & Proficiency

OVERVIEW
The Company Monitor is a secure location in your Flagship LAN which is used for all forms of crew proficiency management.  As a flagship's commanding officer it is your duty to ensure that the ship's company are well-educated and well-equipped to handle the many arduous vocations aboard.  As you prove yourself to be an effective leader, you will be promoted to higher ranks of command and, with sufficient seniority, granted jurisdiction over higher phases of technology.






CREW TRAINING
Over time you will be able to train departments of your flagship's crew to passively improve their proficiency.  By default two departments may be trained simultaneously, at a rate of 1% per day.  While the number of departments that may be trained at once can be improved, the rate at which training occurs remains constant.  Plan wisely, and note that improvements only come into effect on a per-quarter basis.  Mastering a department will award an order of merit—a vital component to an aspiring admiral's portfolio.

ADDITIONAL METHODS
Crew proficiency can also be earned actively through demonstration of superiority and support of the cause, which will be added to a pool for selective allocation.  Loss of flagship will result in the removal of half of each department's accumulated proficiency at the time of death, and complete removal of the unallocated pool.
