Exactly my point. Before the change it took 1600 scouts. After the change 2600 scouts.

If I get it right here, then scouts are no longer counted as elite? In what way is it best to rank up then?
Killing lots of high ranking targets preferably higher than your current rank.
I’ve always found CZs to be a good source of combat XP.
HazRes are also quite good for high level ships.
High rank Massacre/Assassination missions are also a good bet.
Basically anything that generates large quantities of high ranking ships.
So they only got downgraded to Dangerous? That gives me a little bit of hope then. Still wish that I'd worked on this sooner.
Is it 2600, or actually closer to 2670?
Yes the scouts count as Dangerous
Given the change to Tharg scouts, I think the fastest way is farming small elite ships at a CNB.
You can hang all day long and stomp Elite Eagles/Adders/Asps/Cobras to your hearts content in a laser Vette/Conda. There are hordes of them. Keep an LR beam laser to tickle them and they come to you. The ships are also much softer than CZs.

Thargoid scouts are pretty fast still and possibly still farmable at a higher rate than CNB smalls, but as far as I am aware there is no consensus yet.
I don’t know, I only counted myself before the nerf. Interceptors give more than Elites though so it is not certain they fall into the same categorisation.
I personally found compromised nav beacons to be the fastest place for rank, followed by thargoid scout hunting. CNBs are full of very squishy targets and they keep spawning in.
I never particularly aimed for it, though. I mostly got there slowly in conflict zones.
