I have a star under my rank indicator.

What does it mean?

Its the insignia for whatever rank you are. Just another way of showing the number right above it really. Stars are 25.

Ah! cool! Thanks!

... and here I thought that I did something special to earn that, and not realized what it was.

So, ok I got it for achieving rank 25...

Yupz.

Every Silver Star = 25 ranks.
Every Gold Bar = 5 ranks.
Every Silver Bar = 1 rank.

I.e. If u r at my current rank of 91, u get 3 silver stars (3 x 25 = 75) + 3 Gold Bars (3 x 5 = 15) + 1 silver bar (1 x 1 = 1) totally at: 75+15+1 = 91.

I am also presuming when you reaches rank 4 silver stars, 4 gold bars, 4 silver bars (at rank 124), rank 125 might give us a gold star, and you work your way to 5 gold stars = 624, then probably dan will crack his head thinking of something else for 625 (I dunno, assuming 5 stars = Fleet Commander / Field General, I dunno wat is he thinking of nx? Lol.)

Dan: This surely sounds like rank system of the army?
1 Bar = lance corporal
1 Gold Bar = 2nd Lieutenant
1 Gold Star = Brigadier General?

Lol, maybe u should give each rank a name? Lol. (625 names to think of..... i supposed alot of First class, first 2nds, etc will appear?)

Awesome odie. Thanks, that was very informative.

one gold start per 100 ranks so you know.

Heh. I am looking to get my first gold star.
