Doable in a Cobra III, just not as efficient as a medium ship.
Titan War - Leigong Rewards

I am much the same I lost the compulsion to drive for ranks at Elite, I still do stuff that gains rank but I am unimpressed by the rank extensions.
It wasn’t anything other than the decal and bragging rights for me but I would have loved it if the pin badge I never reached in the 1980s was still financially viable.
Also unaware of that, the heat sinks get all the fun because they are much less niche so get to more parties in more places.
Cruel and unusual punishment making people by that pirate ship.
I would love these though the Hauler might look a little overwhelmed by it all, as an aside I would still love to see the Survey kit for the Hauler with a big scanner dish on top spinning round.
I have an AX Hauler, I'd love the carapace kit, overwhelmed or otherwise!
About ranks and heavy grinding, for me its a comprension of ED mechanics, and search for the best method. And become better and better on it.
Golconda CG or any other broken tritium/gold CG give Trade V to lots of players.
I was part in Ammonia worlds CG 1 year ago, and using Spansh continue to Elite V explo.... without knowing the CG reward also include 3x rank. Only 2 weeks.
For Exobio V, I saw JJGoldberg paste a guide in Canonn, from this I made a similar guide like other posted in this forum, spansh for pre-odyssey HMC. r/FCOC and Izanami expedition provide the lazy trip, Exobio V took 6 days, and I made a reddit post for 11.2B in that time, as proof of concept, credits/hour data and flex (11.2B in data, without die).
Did some math for combat V in thargoid war, need 8 months minimum (already Elite 0), I ignored this, worked in the Captain ium Mercenary guide, but on Small Industrial settlements..Same CMDR paste onfoot guide for combat rank, I improved a lot from first try and learned lots of fps mechanics I ignore (speed its related to the weapon you carry, and long range grenade throwing, aim at 66% of the distance). Safeguard missions in settlements with 2x reinforcement rate become a fun challenge. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/14v74p8/onfoot_method_for_leveling_combat_rank_810_elite/
Engineering suit and weapons... thats the real grind, you bite the bullet here because save a lot of time later in 2 different ranks. Praise Colonia engineers, a lot easier to unlock and know everything. And r/FCOC for the trips.
And thats all, analyze the problem, find the best solution, try it, learn, try new solution, improve, adapt, overcome.... obtain Elite V decal as proof that the method work. Knowledge about some mechanics is the real prize.

I thought it was @MUSKETEER who was first to get Elite V in all categories.Found it! (Had to look for my own posts mentioning 'V', as I knew I had commented)
I Achieved 5x Elite V But Frontier Don't Care About It !
That took my months to achieve this. I'm on rage because frontier did not care about what i did. I got 1.9k upvotes on reddit but no one care about on FRONTIER ! I am drunk at the moment. I just want a simple congratulations from devs. I FINISHED ODYSSEY LITERALLY FINISHED. 5x Elite V DONE...forums.frontier.co.uk
I'd forgotten thet the original poster had only 5 of 6
No surprise Musketeer had CQC Elite V though!
The dude from the linked thread claimed to have been the first on all but CQC, basically aaying "I beat Odyssey". I remember that thread well, shows what it does to one's mind if you grind because you expect a reward at the end. Kind of reminds me of that content creator who did grind to upgrade every weapon and suit as fast as possible, and then complained they were burned out and blamed Frontier and the game for it.
And almost certainly will be the only person to ever do so given just how long it takes to get even one Elite rank in CQC.
(Inara lists 40 people with CQC Elite, is missing maybe five or six names I can think of there so is probably about right ... and lists just five with Elite I or higher, and just two above Elite I)
Ah technical writing class, how I never missed thee.
It would be fun to have a John Jameson Day, where we try to zero the core with a wing of only cobras.
Especially in exploration, where you "explore" by using list of already discovered worlds
The rewards are already released? I've fulfilled all the requirements for the ship kit and decal, but it does not show for the chieftain neither for the cobra...
I got 6 x Elite V and asked for no reward / expected none.
Although if they fixed CQC bugs it would be nice.
IMO, they could have some special decals in addition to the Elite and 3 x Elite that they do give out.
in their defense, they posted that thread while being drunk. Although the feeling of being entitled to a reward probably came before the inebriation.
I'd vote for it, heck even the triple elite recoloured with silver & gold.
Honestly Paul, I don't really feel mad or frustrated if you give the rewards out to everyone. For me the fun of actually doing it is reward enough. I mean if you WANT to fix the rewards you can, but don't break the game or potentially cause another bug trying to do it. I'd rather everyone just participate in the fun of it.
Though if you are taking ideas, I wish Fdev would bring back decal rewards for CGs as a thing again, those are cool. They are like a badge of honor for participating in a particular CG.
Either that, or introduce some kind of badge system for the game, where when a Cmdr pulls up another Cmdrs "infocard" his badges are displayed on a tab. This is an idea from one of my favorite MMOs back int he day, City of Heroes. Where the player card, had their character info, what class they played, a short self typed biography (which was often used to tell their origin story.) and the badge tab to see what achievements they've actually earned, places they've been and so on. So when you pulled up a Players infocard and saw their badgecase was just full of a variety of exploration , achievement, kill and accolades badges. You knew these people played the heck out of the game.
I would love to see something like that for Elite, exploration badges for anyone who goes to a particularly famous or infamous place, achievement badges for attaining certain acts, kill badges self-explanitory. History badges, for perhaps scanning certain lore beacons and reading about the story of them. And of course Accolades badges, which were awarded when you achieved the prerequisites they required, which was often a combination of the other badges.
In other words, something like on Inara.cz. They have badges on their profiles for doing various things.
Badges and decals are great but to be honest as i play in Solo it doesn't really matter, who's going to see them
