Retiring status dependent on your score and fate?

[Nimnio]

I found what I thought was the list in "C:\Program Files\Shrapnel Games\Weird Worlds\default\gamedata\mission.ini", ConraDargo, but it doesn't seem to match up to the scores you're reporting.

Edit:
See?

Not really, no :S The "retired war hero" and "forgotten space pilot" was just something that I made up myself, but the other two are taken from my own high score list. Hm.

I agree, ConraDargo. We should have posted the new careers on the high score list somehow. I think it just came down to considering brevity, working on other things and a subjective choice.

Thanks for your in-poot!

I've played enough games now to realize that the table lookup is more complicated than I thought. Game length also affects what score you need to reach a given rank. I've been keeping records of my scores, but not game length, and I've ended up in the same rank in as many as four different score ranges.
