Public players are more than a little cynical about the quality of some of the people stepping up to lead.
Afterall, anyone can spawn as an Officer or NCO. Many people taking on the role are new and well-intentioned, but they don’t have a good understanding of the game and are not qualified to lead.
So is it possible for CG to consider giving experienced/reputable players a special designation in-game to show they are experienced when they spawn as an Officer or NCO? It could be as simple as a different coloured name or a special symbol. With this designation new players would be more likely to listen to them. CG could also pin a list at the top of the Steam forum of accredited officers.
I read elsewhere there used to be an Officer school thread but it died. It’d be great if that could get going again and graduates could become accredited.
