that was quick ... 
but, the main gripe i have with it is where is the nice "elite" animated message?
i liked seeing those when i hit my first 2 elites years ago
o well, seems alot has change and even the rank
but hey ...
i got notified 3 times in different ways that i made "elite" ... ? what, why?
also noticed that the combat rank is effected by killing npc's now (nice)
but,the rate at which that progresses is really slow compared to merc rank.
i was less than a quarter of mostly harmless combat rank when odyssey was released
and ive completed merc rank to elite and have only moved into the next combat rank of novice ?
o well,
im a new age triple elite commander now ...

first notice up while killing npc's:
second notice minutes after the first notification:
boring ship message w/no animated logo:
new age triple elite:
