rank questions

[dutchy45]

Hi all,

New Kerbonaut here. I assume it's been asked before but I could not find it.

I have 2 dots and am a bottle rocketeer. I'm surprised that I've moved past the newbie stage. So my questions.

1. What did I do to get past the first rank?

2. How does 1 move up the stages?

3. Are their benefits associated with moving up?

Ranks actually don't have purposes afaik. Actually, you can even change it to say whatever you wish, like how mine is Lord of the Spaceplanes. No uses for ranks, or non that are substantial.

Hope I helped!

The titles are just for fun. 

1&2: They automatically update after you have submitted certain numbers of posts. 

3. None whatsoever. 

And, you can go to your profile and make up your own to substitute for the stock one you've been assigned. Click on the pencil symbol on the upper left to open the edit screen, then change the text in the "member title" box on the first line.
