So to remain in command, you'd have to have some serious clout with your superiors to remain as an active boat captain. Hence, the loss of renown. You used it, pulling some strings, to stay in command despite the rotation policy.

Ah that explains it. What happens if you don't have enough renown? I lost around 1k renown I believe.

I believe you are retired if you can't "afford" to stay at sea.

FYI, I just remembered, i made the rank descriptions with this rotation policy in mind. Read them sometime, i thought it was hilarious.
