I'd like to give images out for the "Investigator" rank. I looked off of Wookieepedia and I found this on the article called "Jedi Investigator": And then I Googled around a bit, and found this pic (Warning: It's a bit on the large side):

Hidden/Spoiler:

Fixed image.

Enemy to all living things:
Sith'ari:

Already e-mailed guru, but I figured I'd share with you guys, too.

Swordsman: Or maybe just a cropped thumbnail image of the head would be better...

Any chance of a "Writer" rank?

Wait, didn't it have to be SW themed?

Pretty sure it does have to be Star Wars-related. But, just in case it doesn't..

Well, Satan for a day isn't exactly star wars themed, but yeah I should probably start reading furthur into OPs more...it's one measly detail hidden in the second paragraph, and I'm ADD, so it's hardfor me to focus long enough to catch that.
In either case, it wasn't for the Knight rank, like I originally posted, but the swordsman, and after more searching...

Swordsman: And this one could be Brawler, Assassin, or Hidden Dagger's Nightmare: Probably Brawler, though, since the other two have already been taken.

How about TK for a day, to compliment the post count?

Can I be Field Commander? I can use the rep_inf_commander_icon for the icon. Unfortunately, I don't have it on this computer, so would anyone mind uploading a jpg-converted one for me?

That rank already exists, though without an image.

Umm, guys, I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but does google imaging something really warrant a special rank? I mean, I'm pretty sure you guys can open up gimp or photoshop, and make something aesthetically pleasing.

I mean, the following only took me like 5 minutes overall, and these are just examples of what could be done:
Pilot:

Scoundrel:


I don't mean to toot my own horn. But seriously, shouldn't icons that will probably be widespread in use on the site be at least aesthetically pleasing, or look good when scaled down?

I think you're forgetting that not all of us know how to use imaging programs real well.

I'd think this would be an opportunity to learn. I don't use them very well either, both of those above pictures are eraser tool + stroke.

But then again, I'm not one to judge as to what is acceptable for the site, just my 2 cents.

I'm fairly certain your own special rank's image was taken from somewhere else (KotOR perhaps?). As were the "Sith" and "Jedi" ranks, as I have seen those exact images before, just bigger.

Yes, but they're fitting and they look nice. Imagine scaling down one of the pics from the first page, such as the rancor or republic commandos.

All I imagine is guru being smart and cropping them to show just the head, like I'm sure the posters intended the images to be, and THEN scaling them down. Which is probably what he also did with the Sith and Jedi ranks.

Do you think it might be faster if maybe WE were smart about it?

I don't think anyone cares who is smart and fast. This is the interweb.

Well, first of all, I think it's kind of a disservice to make Guru, the guy who going to be GIVING us these ranks and images, the job of actually editing and making the images we plopped in from Google Images workable and good looking.
