Are there plans to use navy ranks for... anything?

[Samosa]

Right now, gaining ranks in the Empire/Federation are used for unlocking a couple of ships and permits for systems (that don't actually give you any benefits, as far as I'm aware).

Do we know if there are any plans for giving those ranks more meaning?

The general rule is if its already in (which it is) then expect it to be at the back of all lists to receive any more attention.
Remember in games development, MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product, and not Most Valuable Player.

This could have been something to plug the CQC into - military service/training/simulations in order to gain ranks. But no, they just bolted it on.

I was hoping that was what PP was about, a deeper and meaningful rep/faction system...sadly not so don't hold your breath

IDK, sometimes the ranks really matter...

I'm sitting here looking at the Imperial Slave Trade around Achenar, and darn it to hell, I need to sell some slaves at Facece....that permit required sign is making my T7 depressed. Time to hop back in Clipper and get some missions done.

However, it would be good for FD to put a few more goodies behind the rank and permit walls.

God no. Who wants to be forced into a PvP arena for naval ranks! IMO, the naval ranks should have been a quest line, similar to the ones in MMORPGs. A train of special missions that are presented to the player when they do enough normal naval missions from the BB and they should be combat/trade/explorer rank dependant.
