Required rank for formations stuck on Brigadier General at 20k+ size

[dustrail]

For some reason, any formations with a size bigger than 20k will always have Brigadier General as the required rank, even up to 5m+.  I'm using the Terran Federation rank theme.

The ranks assigned by the system are vary rarely convenient for the ranks of your available officers. You can change the rank of the commander of a formation on the Formation builder screen, but have to do that before you build the formation

As Andrew says, the default rank assignment is completely useless, I for one never adhere to it.

To change required rank for a formation template: Ground Forces window --> Formation Templates tab --> select formation in the window at right --> "Change Rank" button at bottom-right.

To change required rank for an existing formation: Ground Forces window --> Order of Battle tab --> select formation in the tree window at left --> "Change Rank" button at bottom of window, second from right in that row (this one is maybe not as obvious to find).

I had spent some time not finding that in the past,to the point of jsut deleting the formations and instant building them with the new rank
