Clippers for everyone

Now that the Nu CG has been completed (incredibly fast) and Imperial Clippers are ~15mils, it is about time FDev fix the Imperial Navy Rank Progression Missions so that we people that are stuck at Lord can get to Baron and enjoy a piece of Gutamaya sexiness. The have 14 days until the discount is over.
 
Is this a recent thing? do I get my 5 mil difference back? Ooooh nvm, this was for a community goal thing.... I didn't even know there was one going on.

Just got my Rank last night and bought the Clipper for full price.

Tips for climbing the Naval Empire Ranks.
Spread the love.. I found chaining the delivery missions made them pop like crazy..
Do a delivery for an Empire faction, after you've delivered, find out who is Empire Allied in that station, then do a delivery for them... repeat.
Involved a bit of waiting and taking the odd Charity mission (huge rep).
But I smashed through them to Baron in no time.

What's important though is when you are allied with a minor faction. Work for different one...or simply move on to another Empire station..

Good luck and see you in your Clipper soon.. (Damn love this ship.)
 
as far as im aware the mission system isn't broken, there are various posts even by myself on how to progress to Baron. it does work, and it is totally achievable in the current game, if you need info on how to progress, just ask

what needs to be addressed is information on how the progress works and to make sure local factions dont display on your overall ranking with the faction, they should display your rep with them only IMO.
 
I agree with betc - got to Baron, no problems on the way (apart from choosing the wrong faction in a combat zone and undoing a little rep).
Once you are allied with a faction, the mission flow thick and fast.

My clipper is now VIBRANT RED! I couldn't resist...
 
Was there any ingame information about this cg?

I read something on Galnet, but it did not make clear that there was a gc going on.
 
Is it possible 90% of the populate doesn't know what you're talking about. I thought Nu CG was a new heavy element for a second. Too bad I've never even been to Empire space yet.
 
Actually the progression is so fast it's makes no sense at all. I rather it be slower tho.

Maybe I am hardcore that's why. Can we have a hardcore/Ironman mode please frontier?

o_O Pic please! :D
 
Pretty sure progression is still possible as I went from Baron to Viscount not long ago. However, I'd been a Baron forever and couldn't say for certain if there was any real issue getting to Baron or not.

Anyway, I delivered a whole six tons of metals for the CG and repurchased my Clipper at 15.8 mil from Nu last night, shortly after the goal completed (11 tiers for a 29% discount). Immediately drove it back to Shinrarta to equip it and did a massive rare run for about 4 million profit right after. Survived two attempted pirating attempts (a wing of three FDLs interdicted me once in Lave and some jerk in a Vulture interdicted me three times in a row outside Altair...was way too fast for any of them though), totally unscathed.

I thought the Galnet article made things pretty clear.

Exactly this. Especially missions that take you to an "unsanctioned" outpost (i.e one of those outposts with pirate holograms). There you might find a nice naval progression mission waiting for you. Just sayin' ;-)
 
This is what I meant, in every bulletin board I get from one to four of this unobtainable missions.

Hmm, how could you know your local reputation with a minor faction linked to the Empire ?
I'm allied with Global Empire faction, and all affiliate minor faction are allied.

As i understand, the mission should be done with a minor faction affliliate to Empire one, exact ?
