Yet another n00b question I'm afraid, hope you l33t cats can help me out -

it says in the community manual it takes 50.000 tons sunk to get a promotion for a crew member. Is this for enlisted, noncom or officers? What are the exact renown/tonnage requirement for each level of crew promotion?

I also know that only the crew with the necessary experience are eligible for a given promotion. If you meet the tonnage/renown requirements, are you given as many promotions to hand out as there are crew who can receive them? Or are they linked only to tonnage/renown?

The promotions and the medals you hand over to your crew are linked with the renown you accumulate per patrol. Check this thread http://www.communitymanuals.com/shiii/index.php?title=Promotions#Crew_Promotin

If you don't like to be restricted by the SH3 renown-promotion system use SH3Cmd. With this program you can give as many promotions and medals and qualifications you like to your crew. The only thing you cannot do is to promote yourself or give medals to yourself. You can get the Cmd from here http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/products.html and make sure you read the FAQ and the readme files.

I never kept track of tonnage, renown vs promotions ration. But after a good patrol, I'll get 3 promotions to hand out.
