Answer: ME1 Codex



And I'd certainly like to see Shepard promoted in ME3. I mean Ashley was promoted!

[SpiderFan1217]

Kaiden was promoted too. He's a higher rank the Shepard. (If he survives.)

Shepard's rank in the Alliance is Lieutenant Commander. However, since he become a Spectre, I would guess he's no longer in the Alliance. That'll explain why Kaidan/Ashley got promoted, but Shepard did not.

Shepard's still an Alliance soldier. I don't think Spectres work like that. Hackett clearly still thinks of you as an Alliance soldier, as does pretty much everyone on your team who you talk to in both ME1 and ME2 (by which I mean, during ME1 rather than during ME2).

That's the way I understood it. He's still an Alliance soldier, but is attached to the Citadel as a Spectre.

I'd like to see him promoted. Staff Commander seems too little, but Captain would eliminate the "Commander Shepard" we're so used to hearing.



How about they bring back the Commodore rank just for him? It would sound mostly the same, and still be a promotion?

[Blackout62]

I am completely and utterly for Captain Shepherd.



And I will not advertise that in my sig.

[Gabey5]

who cares about rank.. shepard is above all ranks

Captain Shephard who flies around in his own ship, saves the world and has sex with aliens, is his first name James?

Commodore is a flag rank, just under Rear Admiral.  Having Shepard as a flag rank when he needs to be a field officer (captain or below) doesn't make sense to me.

A Captain in the MEverse is equivalent to the modern US Army's Colonel, ME Commander is Lieutenant Colonel,
Lieutenant Commander is Major...etc.

So in modern US Army parlance, Shepard would be a Major, which is still a fairly senior rank for leading a team of soldiers on what are essentially special operations missions.  I actually don't want Shep to get promoted, as the added responsibility would preclude him from being a ground forces leader.  And if Bioware promotes Shep and keeps him in the same role he's in now, it's very bad writing, in my opinion.

Shephard should have retired from the alliance once he became a spector. He didn't have to follow alliance orders any more. Anderson said in ME1 "you're a spector now. you don't answer to us" That's not allowed in a military organization. He should have been given a choice between being an alliance soldier or council spector.

I have an idea, let's promote shephard to General (cookie if you get it)!

And then in ME3 he goes insane and strikes a deal with the Reapers to attack the galaxy in a crazy plot to increase recruiting. Then we chase him down a waterfall as a commando with a mohawk and a funny Irish accent, throw a knife in his eye, then credits roll?

The guy who plays Admiral Hackett actually voices General Shepherd.

And the reason to all this will be the abducted colonists "Hunderd thousand people died and the Council just f*cking watched!"

If they do this game, they better include Captain Price's moustache as a customization option. That moustache alone could take on the Reapers.

Cpt McMillan and Cpt Price for squadmate and LI in ME3!
Ramirez for everything!
Sgt. Foley for Councilor...
oh, wait

If Shep actually got all the promotions they deserved, they'd be pushing pencils with Udina, filling out requisition forms for "save the universe" defense cannon orders. As for ME2, you're not Alliance military anymore, so you're called commander because you're... in command.

Actually, she should be called "Captain," no matter what her actual rank, since she's in charge of her own ship.  At the very least she should be called that while ON THE SHIP.

[Vaenier]

Correction: Shepard Commander Lieutenant.

[sumof all fear]

I'd prefer to promote Shepard to [Brigadier General], why? because it sounds cooler than admiral.

say it with me, Brigadier!

I saved the citadel and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

Seriously where was my promotion for that?

ME3 needs casual clothing with that written on it.

Will your General Shephard shoot Garrus in his gut with a .44 Magnum in ME3?

[Fiery Phoenix]

^ LMAO! Good one, good one!

Wouldn't work. We've already seen his face. Bioware really dropped the ball when they unmasked Archangel. Come to think of it, they've already shown the main character's face too... damn it Bioware! Get your stick on the ice!

Specter is the highest rank possible to obtain in the universe. Hard to get promoted past the top without moving to a desk job

Yet the council doesn't pay for any of my gear! It is like if one was the general of a UN peackeeping force. Yeah your a general, but you can't do anything and don't have anybody under your command.

Why wouldn't it work? Shepard was in the marines, and Brigadier General is a valid rank in the marines.  It is about 3 steps below General, and can be held by servicemen in combat service,  plus it sounds cool as hell.  By the way, Garrus is cool as all hell, so no i wouldn't shoot him.

Heh, if you could get Sgt Sykes, aka Psycho, with his Nanosuit that would be the most badarse squad that has walked the earth!
