That's for
player ranks.
Anyway, whilst it's an easy change to get SH3Cmdr to support crew promotion (or demotion) across ranks, the reason it doesn't allow it now is actually by design.
You see, in real life, were you to "recommend" one of your SNCOs (or even lower ranks) for promotion to officer, you'd have to let him go so that he could do the appropriate training. He certainly wouldn't remain with you.
Likewise promoting a junior crewman to an SNCO rank (there are no JNCO ranks modelled in SH3) would require release so the crewman could obtain a trade (a requirement for NCOs) which apparently took between 3 and 6 months alone, and that's
before he undertook the actual NCO training. And this is also assuming that he had signed on for the appropriate length of service.
So knowing that providing this ability would be met with many "that's not historically correct" or "that's not realistic" responses - which, tbh, I'd have to agree with - I chose not to support it. I'd like SH3Cmdr to maintain
some integrity and be recognised as providing an historical enhancement to SH3, rather than being seen as a "arcady toy".
Now having said all this, the easy solution is just to promote your NCO to officer within SH3. It can be done.
