Empire Rank Progression Bugged?

I broke down and put in a support ticket, on the off chance they'll bump my rank (I'd think it should be easy to check the logs and see the giant pile of advancement missions I did today). Not super hopeful, but meh.
 
If you're already well loved by the faction it's not unreasonable that you'd rank up quickly.

That said I've completed a few imperial rank missions and I'm still "none" rank. Perhaps I'll complete another and fill out a bug report.
 
I had the same kind of thing happen. Ran three imperial navy ascension missions trying to get to baron from lord. I know they said imperial. It was from an imperial station in an all imperial system. Yet some how, I am now a federal "cadet" even though I dislike the Feds more than I can explain with words. The third one did finally give me Baron rank but I still want nothing to do with the Federation. I would like my cadet rank removed.

I would put a ticket to get it removed. Empire rank does not bug me that much enough to put in a ticket. I reported the bug to them.
 
Thank the ancient Sol God!

After the most recent update (1.3.02?), I accepted an Empire mission to move from Outside to Serf and it worked!

The Empire likes me, they really do!

GG, i'm gonna try it today see if it works for me i will keep you guys informed
 
Still bugged. I even did a "Knight level clearance progression" mission, and I'm still stuck at Outsider (And boy, finding 16 tons of stolen tea for that mission was no picnic).
 
Same problem here.

A number of missions are headlined as "Progression to Knight" when in fact they only take you to the next level, in my case from Serf to Master and then Squire.

In making it to Master, a subsequent promotion mission to Squire left me at Master still.

Also, I understand that the Achenar permit becones available at Master level, but I have not had any word from the Navy or anyone else about it for a long while. Has this changed as of 1.3?

Finally, although I appreciate that many rank problems had been sorted with some Federal ranks falling in early 1.3, my Federal military rank had also fallen from Petty Officer to Cadet back at that time (it must have been 1.3.01) but even with the current patch I notice my case still hadn't been fixed despite submitting a ticket about it.
 
likewise, i recently completed a progression mission to rank up to Earl. i'm still a Count.

---> fixed by ignoring all progression missions until they offered me a simple message delivery mission. that one worked and i ranked up.

I tried this again last night. 1st mission didn't progress me to Earl, 2nd one did. Had to log off then so can't add any more scientific observations other than it seemed a little flaky!
 
Woot! Support answered my ticket, and said to check my rank in game. I'm a Knight now!

So, credit where credit is due: Frontier's support has improved tremendously since the last time I filed a ticket back near release. They got back to me within two days, and took into account the extra comment I'd added to the ticket yesterday about having done a knight level mission and still not progressed.

So if you're stuck they might be able to help. Though obviously I'm hopeful that today's update has fixed this issue.
 
Sorry to hijack guys, I'm a noob at this whole PP thing. But I am currently p!edged to the empire so you might be able to help.

Firstly, do I need to do the tasks in order? I.e preperation > expansion > control ? The reason I ask this is that me and a friend pledged at the end of a cycle, we were working towards preparing Grovichun - cycle ended - and now Grovichun is under the expansion header, do we continue onto helping the expansion or return to preparing another system?

My second question isn't really important but I took onboard 10 sealed contracts, did I pay for them? between leaving to get them and returning to deliver, I lost 100k :( and I didn't take notice whether the contracts costed anything.
Thanks in advanced, I hope this is OK to ask in here.

You can choose to help the expansion or prepare another system. You get 10tonnes of contracts/whatevers (that's one hell of a contract!) every half hour, you can pay 100000 to get an extra 10, which is what you must have done.

Awesome news. I have a few tickets in their fire so to speak. I hope they can restore my Fed rank to Petty Officer too.
