Empire Rank Progression working for anyone yet?

Hi. If the kill should somehow not count ( like when the local law enforcement forces come in and shoot him at that last second ), you should find another target in one of those unidentified signal sources, sooner or later. Otherwise the mission is delivered at the same place where you received it. If it was successfully registered that is.

Thanks, will try again.
 
Since gaining Earl last night, I've not found a single onward mission all day today!

Has anyone else notced it being slower progress today? At any rank?

The bulletin boards were pretty empty today for some reason. Was hard pressed to find anything. And certainly nothing beyond Earl.
 
I found the original Frontier: Elite II titles, the online manual was a bit hard to read though, due to formatting:

Outsider, Serf, Master, Sir, Squire, Lord, Baron, Viscount, Count, Earl, Marquis, Duke, Prince.


Edit: Checked against the original Amiga manual. Hah!


Edit-2: Err, forgot about the Fed scum. The titles were:

None, Private, Corporal, Sergeant, Sergeant-Major, Major, Colonel, Lieutenant, Lieutenant Commander, Captain, Commodore, Rear Admiral, Admiral.

I ruined something as badass-sounding as Baron Panzer for the sake of research. Dayum. Also, earl-mission not showing up, but then again I am not empire-allied, just friendly.

You don't have to be allied to the main faction. Or else there would be some paper forgery here. ;)

I'm an Earl too:D

My boards are stuffed with goodness. What gives?

Edit: Someone lend me 17Mcr for a clipper :p

I am friendly with empire too and I got a whole bunch of earl missions today - so many in fact that I got picky and chose the one with less pirates to kill (it ain't a noble's job to spend time hunting scum after all).
 
I'm a Count.

When you get to Earl, all the dirty work is hidden from sight, because nobility is like that. :D

As for the cash, sell yourself as a slave, and work for 10 years in the mines, then get away by some intricate plot where you save some nobelman/woman from assassination, so they can release you with a full bank account. That always seems to do the trick. At which point you get the credits, and can live happily forever after in the clipper. Which won't be for that long, the mines are not very good for the lungs... *cough*


Edit: No fair to be promoted before the post is done! :D

Well, since I've got the rank for the ship I want I'm backing off from rank missions for now. Going back to focus on gathering coin. If I get any more ranks I'll let you know.

BTW I still don't have Achenar permit, just Summerland + Facece /shrug
 
I haven't had the time to visit the permitted areas. Apart from Achenar, which was mandatory by psychological enforcement. So much for privilege... wasted on some... Will do the round in the clipper. Like I'm not busy then as well. Hah!

I did the opposite, since one kill counts towards all the missions, I picked up 3. A 5-kill, 5-kill and 7 kill missions. Killed 7, turned in all 3 for earl + an extra 100k for the other 2 missions. If you're going to be hunting might as well stock up.
 
It concerns me that I don't have Summerland or Facece permits. (I do have Achenar and I'm an Earl)

What rank do they typically become available? And can you only recieve them at THAT rank?
