I suggest creating more and renaming ranks for alliances as well as permission abilities for certain ranks. I feel editing these positions will give players more of a realistic structure within the alliance compared to the current “chief, assistant, member”
Chief - Ability to edit alliance, remove members, lock or unlock alliance for new members, promote or demote members, launch missions
Deputy Chief - same permissions as Chief with exception of removing/editing chiefs position as well as demotion of other Chief ranks (to be handled by Chief)
Battalion Chief - same permissions as Deputy Chief
Captain - ability to launch missions, remove members of lower rank
Lieutenant - ability to launch missions
Private - general member of alliance
