There are ways around this, once the patrol ends and you're out of the game you can go into your career files and edit your Delta Renown back up so that you get your rank back. Or you can edit the game files so that it costs you less, or even nothing, to upgrade your boat/equipment. Others will know the exact places to go to do both of those things, I don't have access to my game files on this computer so we'll have to see who else pops up with more precise info.

thank ye
