Can you stay in the UEE Military for some time? Be able to achieve Constellation command or higher as the rank structure? Getting promotions and awards and having ceremonies for them? Will the UEE require military contractors? Possibly even having a retirement for those that stay in for a period?asked by Emulator

I don't think we have "Contellation command" because it's not really a military ship, but I get the idea - like maybe command of an Idris frigate or something like that.So the way the structure of Squadron 42 to Star Citizen works is that you play the game, and at the end of it you have to muster out into the civilian population. We are planning on having stories that... think of it like a mission pack in the old Wing Commander days, where we'll have a story that we will make and build, and make available to backers, for whatever you want to call it - DLC or something. It would have the sophistication of a Squadron 42 story line that will come back online down the road. Occasionally people can participate in that if they so desire, and some of those will be military-based, like you re-enlisting back in the military for a campaign. And we're also thinking about having certain things that you could do as a player, where like maybe the the military needs some contractors to help secure a star system Vanduul incursions, or help flesh out an attack on Vanduul space. Those will be sort of PU missions, so there will be a little bit of that. There's not really a game setup where you stay in the military and work your way through ranks.It is a cool idea, and longer-term I think probably kind of be some of the professional stuff that we would expand once the game is up and running and we're adding new content, because I think that's definitely a career path that a lot of people would to choose. But until then, the way you would get back in the military would be joining up in another sort of story campaign, along the lines of Squadron 42 or taking some sort of ad hoc work for the UEE military.
