Horizons A question regarding ranking up within the empire.

Hey folks,

So I had a question regarding ranking up within the empire. I've had a interest in the Gutamaya line of ships (specifically the Clipper) so I've been trying to rank up within the empire to gain rights to purchase it. After a while of searching around I found this: http://www.fenris.co.uk/elite/project/empire-ranks-what-do-i-need-to-do/ . Well the thing is is that I was able to purchase the Imperial Courier without doing missions and the like, but that was before the release of EDH (I'm now playing EDH was playing ED before). What I had been doing was fighting in conflict zones to gather enough credits to purchase it. So my question is this: Can I rank up by fighting in conflict zones rather than doing the missions?
 
Yes you can, as long as it is and empire owned system, however I think it may take longer to rank up possibly I am not sure.
