Does free roam bounty hunting increase rank with your place of power?

[Staarlord]

If I spend the majority of my time at nav beacons hunting wanted, does this increase my actual rank? Or do only bulletins do this? I haven't really noticed my rank moving up when I do, but it might just be moving up incredibly slow this way. For me, this is a good way to make quick and easy money. Also, do any specific sort of missions yield in the most rank advancements? E.g. mining, smuggling, bounty missions?

Nope. Another reason to why PP sucks.

I almost exclusively just farm resource sites, and that does increase my rank.

I've gained 2 ranks just doing that.

yeah, I may give that a try. That's the one thing I haven't done. I used to transport/ smuggle a lot, but I've seen a tremendous drop-off in transport missions, since last summer. I barely see them offered anymore. Of course, that could be because I sold my transport build and have since switched powers. I was able to make 800K+ inside of an hour, just doing smuggle runs and generally just chaining together missions, from station, to station and picking them up as I go...even weeding through the lower paid ones I picked up and abandoning them for the much higher paid...but it got boring and I wanted to fight lol

I don't quite get what you mean by 'place of power'...but killing random wanted people anywhere does increase your combat rank but not your fed/emp rank if that is what you are asking.

Yeah, the last part. That's what I was asking. Increasing my Empire rank, for instance. My place of power being the Empire, as opposed to Archon, Federation, Empire etc.
