I am trying to come up with a trait to allow my marine to increase his rank quicker. I was wondering if something like this would be allowed. See example below.

Good Connections (1 trait) – This marine has good connections within the upper brass of the World Government. They earn 20% more commendations per thread.

I'd say 5%, still good. Up the percentage by 5 with every higher sounding synonym.

Good Connections - 5%

Better Connections - 10%

Intertwined Connections (a.k.a I'm sleeping with a commodore) - 15%

Problem is I have never seen anyone earn more than 10 commendations in a single thread. 5% is so low you won't even get one commendation out of the bonus because the numbers would be rounded down. 20% would usually only equate to 1 extra commendation per sl if any at all.

The thing about giving out commendations is that's it's even harder than bounty. Basing it off a percentage doesn't work well because it's not that big of a number.

Maybe something like every 5 commendations you earn in a single sl awards you a single extra one. So with 5 earned you got 6, with 10 you get 12 etc.
Earning 10 is pretty hard anyway.

20% of 5 = 1


20% of 10 = 2

This trait makes sense, since Celes made a similar trait for Bounty.

The reason I did it at 20% is because that hurts me more than it helps me. I am not going to get anything out of this trait for half of the storylines I am in. If I earn less than 5 commendations I wouldn't earn any extra ones from this trait. Half the time people don't even earn 5 commendations. This would be more or less a wasted trait, but there would be times when it is useful. Not to mention the bonus isn't that big. It is literally an extra commendation or two. Since commendations don't even have a system for how they are handed out, it wouldn't really make a big difference anyhow.

Yeah, I agree the trait seems like its not worth anymore than 1 trait point. I'd like to see Celes' bounty trait if someone could please pull it up.

Then Tommy tries to think up a plan to defeat this guy and after a few seconds, thought of the perfect plan to knock him out which was to punch him in the back of the head. He then out maneuvers him by side stepping to the back of him and punches him right on the back of his head perfectly which then knocks him out for the rest of the bar brawl. "That took care of him, now who next?"

Commendations become easier to earn the more you gain you know so while you might not be getting much at start later on it becomes easier.

Underhanded Leverage (1 Trait)
It is undeniable that a Mobster’s nature is to deceptively use their source(s) of notoriety to influence the masses and create disorder, whether all from behind the scenes or choosing to do so publically. As such, the Mobster in question is capable of letting their notorious actions go under the radar or announced to the world as they see fit. Every SL where the Mobster is to receive a bounty, he/she may receive an addition or deduction of 250,000 to their bounty for every 2 SD Earned by the Mobster in question. The amount may not exceed 1/2 of the base Bounty.

a noticable difference. Like a sl which would get you 1 commednation as a ensign would get you 3 as a commander. That type of thing.
