No as soon as the next grade is offered you can start to work on it, that is usually at about 75% completion of the grade.
Ok so I am doing the missions. A few questions:
What is the significance of Economy Business and First classes?
My hull integrity went down to 91% by Sirius Atmosphere - why was this? Did I hit the beacon?
I have 32 X 2 passenger economy seats but max 14 passengers so far?
I got interdicted once.
I am not earning 20M per run. around 10M or less. But also doing rep for other two factions.
I am not filling up all my cabins?

The classes of the cabins affect
The number of passengers per cabin. Economy>Business>First Class.
The price passengers will pay Economy<Business<First Class.
Some passengers won’t share cabins which can leave you with unused capacity.
As with other missions the better your standing with the minor faction the better the missions offered.

So can I put multiple missions in one passenger slot if there is room?
Yes as long as the passengers aren't being too fussy about sharing, the usual warnings about the risks of multiple missions probably apply, just try not to take any crooks along because if you get scanned carrying them security will shoot at you.
Just means that any mission based opposition will be Elite rank or close to it.
Passengers are an absolute pain, won't share, demanding things, changing their minds, criminals in hiding, scared of being scanned, scared of the ship being damaged about the only time I bother is to rescue them from burning stations and they are a whiny demanding bunch even then. But some seem to like dealing with them.
You can only put one mission in each cabin.
I think you have the same cabins as me. I regularly get over 20 mil per run, but if you go too fast, the missions dry up, so I'm averaging about 75 mil per hour, which is what you can expect after ranking up. After about 4 20-22 mil runs, the missions seem to dry up, so I make a cup of tea, and jump on the forum for 15 minutes, then when i go back, more missions are listed.
Your hull is paper thin. If you touch anything, you'll lose some of it. When you drop out at the beacon, make sure that you hit your zero throttle button or key before you bring up the galaxy map. If you forget, your ship will crash into the beacon and you'll lose so much hull that some of the missions will fail. The Belugas also have a nasty habit of flying into you while you have the galaxy map open, so have a quick look to see whether any are on a collision course before you open the map. Always use the docking computer at the outpost to land the ship without damage, but only for the very last bit. Don't be lazy and engage it as soon as you have docking permission otherwise you might get scanned. Finally, be careful when you lift off. It's easy to clip the structure. If you do that when you boost away, it'll knock your hull down so far that missions will fail.
Keep an eye on all the comms messages. if you get a "target acquired..." or similar, the NPC will drop out soon after you if it doesn't interdict you, also sometimes even if you win the interdiction. You will be OK as long as you don't hang about at the beacon or landing at the outpost. You can do 10 runs and get no inderdictions, which means that they can take you by surprise when you're not concentrating. If any missions fail, you can expect to see NPCs in the next run.

I am a bit confused with the explorer rankings. I am at 35% ranger having started today at 11% but have earned over 100M today alone on top of around 40M from R2R which gives me more than the 116M for pioneer. So I should be much closer to pioneer by now or even over it? Actually I have earned more like 200M today.

I wasnt doing the VIP trips for credits I was hoping to get my explorer rank up to elite. The wiki suggested 116M for ranger and 320M for elite and I thought (stupidly) that I could do them today! Only a tiny fraction of the Robigo VIP passenger runs must count as credits for exploration ranking.
I also wanted to do the runs because it was part of my history with starting ED using D2EA guide. I bailed out when I saw that I could get scanned and so I went mining instead. So now I have done Robigo VIP runs. I think I will move on.
But D8veh your video was excellent and your advice invaluable. I made a quick 200M and 24% added to my ranger rank. I may well be back for more.

Is the right answer.
