Sorry that wasn't as clear as I'd hoped, but yes that is what happens. If PlayerRank17=75000, your renown is 77000 and your playerrank=17 SHC will display the correcet rank for Rank17, as it does ingame as well.

I believe this fits your correct starting rank and structure, with the additional xxx_menu slots filled in. You'll notice why rank15 can't be used as its already a system command.

170=Leutnant z. S.; Oberleutnant z. S.
171=Oberleutnant z. S.; Kapitänleutnant
172=Kapitänleutnant; Korvettenkapitän
173=Korvettenkapitän; Fregattenkapitän
174=Fregattenkapitän; Kapitän z. S.

175=Exit To Menu

176=Kapitän z. S.; Kommodore
177=Kommodore; Konteradmiral
178=Konteradmiral; Vizeadmiral
179=Vizeadmiral; Admiral

This is what I've been using since you brought the OberLt./Lt as Rank10 to my attention.

After hours of fiddling with it I've writen it off as another probable casualty of a recenty nasty virus I got. Though I've gotten rid of all traces its left its mark in other programs resulting in some odd behaviours.
I wouldn't put it down to the virus, that is just how SH3 goes sometimes. I was waaay over the renown required to get KptLt once...never got it.

Hehehe, its become a nuisance to the point that I've got to figure it out on principle!
