Enlisted to Warrant Officer Conversions:

Starfleet/SFMC  Starfleet/SFMC Minimum Time Requirements Additional
PO3/Cpl  to WO1  with nine weeks served as PO3
PO2/Sgt  to  CW2  With twelve weeks served as PO2

All higher Enlisted ranks transfer to CW2 then climb the ladder to CW3 & CW4.

Please Note:

By starting the WO conversion at a PO3/Cpl to WO1 it allows plenty of time for a new simmer to get acclimated to SIMming and familiar with the roll that they will be playing as a Warrant Officer.  That is 24 weeks from Crw/Pvt to the time that they become a WO.  This also encourages experienced players to want to jump to the warrant officer track as well by not requiring them to have to wait too long to pick up the pip'd collar.  Also by including the CW5 it should be reserved for rare simmers and like a MCPO or SgtMaj, there would normally only be one per ship/sim.

Explanation of the Warrant Officer:

A Warrant Officer is always an experienced enlisted person first.  They have been doing their job in their field for a while and have a good grasp of how things work in their department and Starfleet.  Warrant Officer's represent those top enlisted people that want to be more technically involved in their job.  After attending Warrant Officer School they are considered a lower grade of officer, technically knowledgeable in their field and able to command the enlisted personnel under them.

For example, enlisted personnel desiring to join a combat squadron would be required to attend Warrant Officer School to be educated in proper conduct becoming of an Officer as well as flight school.  Another example is an enlisted person within medical desiring to become more then a nurse or med-tech, such as a field surgeon.  Additional examples include senoir field opertors within Starfleet Intelligence or case invesitgators within the Judge Advocate General Corps.

For promotion from Admiral to Fleet Admiral:

Many Commanding Officer have used and continue to use Acting ranks to maintain IC chains of command and an air of believability and consistency. Acting ranks are perfectly acceptable, but a character's database entry should NOT be updated to reflect an acting rank. Acting ranks can be granted up to the level of Lieutenant Commander. Any rank above that of LtCmdr must be authorised by Subfleet and Starfleet Command

NOTE: Comfirmed Sim CO's who have not yet obtained the rank of Captain are required to designate themselves as Acting Captain in order to maintain the distinction between them and people who have earned the rank. This also helps to alleviate bottlenecking below.

Most rank transfer are between existing characters or players wishing to use a rank earned in another organization. Starfleet relies on its ranking system for structure and not the levels system.

Ensign - Lieutenant: Granted at the Commanding Officer discretion in consultation with Subfleet Command.

LtCmdr: Made at the discretion of Subfleet Command.

Commander - Captain: Starfleet Command will evaluate on an individual basis. - Inter-character only

NOTE: CO's and crew of existing SIMs transferring in during development are covered under the Development Process.

Each Inter-division transfer will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
