 REMOTE COST (RCOST)
========================================================================

OVERVIEW:
The rcost command displays how many credits you need to reach the
next level. Credits are earned through combat kills during wars and
determine your progression through military ranks.

USAGE:
- rcost, rc - Show credits needed for next level
- Displays current progress toward next rank
- Shows visual progress bar with percentage
- Available to all non-implementor players

CREDIT SYSTEM:
Credits are the primary currency for level advancement:
- Earned by killing players during wars
- Accumulate across all wars (persistent)
- Required amounts increase with each level
- Maximum defined level is 20

DISPLAY INFORMATION:

Current Level - Your present rank and title
Shows: Level number + Military rank name
Example: "Level 3 (Specialist)"

Next Level - The rank you're working toward
Shows: Next level number + Next rank title
Example: "Level 4 (Corporal)"

Current Credits - Total credits earned all-time
Shows: Your accumulated credits with commas
Example: "Current Credits: 1,450"

Credits for Level - Total needed for next rank
Shows: Full credit requirement for target level
Example: "Credits for Level 4: 200"

Credits Needed - Remaining credits to level up
Shows: How many more credits until promotion
Example: "Credits Needed: 55"

Progress Bar - Visual representation of progress
Shows: 40-character bar with percentage
Colors: Red (<50%), Yellow (50-74%), Green (75%+)
Example: [###########-------------] 72%

LEVELING MECHANICS:
- Credits persist between wars and sessions
- Level up occurs after next kill when sufficient credits
- Each level requires progressively more credits
- Death does not reduce credit count
- Credits cannot be traded or transferred

SPECIAL CASES:

Maximum Level - Level 20
Message: "You are already at the maximum defined level!"
Still shows total credits accumulated

Ready to Level - Have enough credits
Message: "You have enough credits to level up!"
Note: "You will level up after your next kill in war!"

Implementors - Special message
Message: "You are an implementor!"
Note: "Player levels do not matter to you"

STRATEGY TIPS:
- Check rcost frequently to track progress
- Focus on kills during wars to earn credits
- Higher level players give more credits when killed
- Credits earned shown in score during active wars
- Use 'stats' command to see total credits earned

RELATED COMMANDS:
