Recently I've discovered that "Staff Sergeant 1st Class" rank isn't actually final. There are Lieutenants, Captains and others. I suppose I can reach them, but how can I make bots spawn with them too?
Right now you can't. It's hardcoded in the game that AI spawns randomly with 0.0 - 0.5 authority mapping to 0 - 5000 XP. The problem is mainly that with the current logic, the probability to spawn a soldier with 1000XP and with 9000XP would be exactly same, so there would be an equal amount of low rank soldiers and high rank officers, causing issues with forming squads.
There will be at least some way to influence this in the future versions as vanilla will need it as well.
