1.5 update

I would say if you played everyday for 4-5 hours a day and did nothing but the right BB mission, maybe a week. That's just a very loose estimate, there is no telling really.
What ship is then best for "faction rank grind" and is there a way to accelerate this grind to (hopefully) half a week or (unrealistically) a day? 7 days with 4-5 hours of grind does not sound optimistic at all
 
I've seen things like the FDL is getting buffed, and we'll be getting more for DSS data in 1.5, but where do you guys see that or know that? I checked through the patch notes posted in this thread and didn't see anything about either...?

The grind to the rank is real, that's why I'm not doing it. I will eventually get into the bigger ships, there are other things to do while working towards that goal. I wouldn't say that there is a ship that is better, you will be doing a multitude of missions. I like to go to places that will offer Charity Missions, spend some Credits and rank up that way. My goal when I do the Rep grind is to never have to leave the station. I will load my Anaconda up with Fruits and Grain, Fish, and other common items (I can't remember them or I would put them here!), then park it at the station accept missions, give money or goods, and repeat. When I get bored, I go pick up some rare goods, head back to the starting system (LHS 3447) to help and advise new players, then it's off to go combat piracy at my favorite HAZRES. I try not to only focus on the hunt for the biggest ship, I will get burnt out way too fast!

Sylar, the buff to the FDL is in the patch notes and also has been talked about on numerous Podcasts and videos. Take a look here at the 1.5.3 patch notes. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=201170
Zac mentions the increase in Maneuverability, heat dissipation, and increase in power.

Thanks Masagmarod but i prefer to be burned out than inferior. Ill just do this: change from Open to Solo play quickly and then complete all charity missions that need cr's to complete, and ill repeat untill i have done this 100 times on one day. But thankyou for understanding.

Hey, if that's how you wanna play the game, have at it! Enjoy the grind. If you need info on where to go to do the rep grind, let me know.
