Can anyone recommend a good method to rank up in the federation?

[CMDR Woland92]

I’ve got an A-rated, engineered cutter and battle Conda, and about half a B in credits burning a hole in my virtual pockets. I also lust for the corvette’s maneuverability, but am still only an ensign. Does anyone have a good method to quickly increase federation rank?

I followed Down to earth astronomy’s mainani empire rank method and am wondering if there is anything similar for the feds? I did a quick google and YouTube search and couldn’t find much.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, CMDRS!

I too have been looking for a current fed grind method and the best I've found is taking my beluga to a damaged starport in a fed system and just doing rescue passenger missions to the rescue ship for the fed factions. It's been working pretty well.

The best way to rank up in the Federation, is to target as many Federal ships as you can and blow the snot out of them. You will feel great doing it too!

...oh wait... you mean rank up with the Federation... ah.

The most straightforward way (IMO) used to be to do something to make a heap of credits and then find a Fed' system with as many different factions as possible in it (use EDDB) in a suitable state and then just fling credits at donation missions.

These days, with mining as it is, it's probably going to be really easy to raise the credits to bankroll a donation spree but I have no idea if the BGS is currently spawning things like Outbreak and Famine. [where is it]
