Why not have a mining rank as well then?Who else would like to see mining added to the Elite ranks?

Elite miners?

I would. But maybe pirating, smuggling and assassination as well.
Yeah why not 
Might encourage me to give it another go!

mining smuggling commodity marketing, all involve selling cargo stuff, therefore, trading. the elite list would be in the tens if we didn't group stuff in a category.
Mining is kinda rolled into trading right now.
It'd be cool to have more ranks to progress through, just so I have more decals to glue on my hull.

Good idea! Might make the side panel a bit too cluttered (coughCQCcough), but otherwise it could work well and encourage people to mine! (mining is awesome)
Just a bit of shameless advertising for those who like mining:

I don't like the idea of any more progression rate indicators to the right of my instruments, but mining decals is something I'd get behind. There could be some sort of in-game mining competition where the winners get exclusive miner decals.

Oh! And average miners like myself could buy de-exclusified versions of the mining decals from Frontier's online shop

No... I will not touch that prestiging, 12 year old circle yank, instant gratification crap with a 10 meter stick. It is the opposite of what Elite Dangerous is about and embodies everything bad about today's video games that made me gravitate toward ED.
If I had been a kickstarter and that was their major update I would have left - lucky I'm on Xboxone and only playing for a few months.

I am all for more Elite ranks tied to professions. I find mining very fun and will definitely do more in the future.
I mined my first 100 tons manually in my first Asp. With the new changes I find mining extremely relaxing. It's not quite as easy going as exploring because you want to finish when your limpets expire but after a few runs you could care less about falling 20tons short of max or having 20tons of limpets left.
You hit the nail on the head mate. Nice quality comment indeed
You know, I felt mining being within trade was fine.
Til I heard this. I want a space avocado with wings decal!!
A Sly Cooper one with wings would be cool too for smuggling lol
But...
I also enjoy CQC though too. It's fun for combat with the flight model without risking even a sidey's insurance claim lol

I see no problem in mining rank if it would be bound to the number of fragments mined, which is a value allready in game

I agree that having more ranks would be good if we could choose which are displayed (CQC... Bah!)
But it really would have to be clear who it is exactly in-game gives you that rank, is it the Elite Federation of Pilots, is it some kind of mining cartel or what? Otherwise it is just a meaningless out-of-game label.

Originally there were going to be 4 : Combat, trade, exploration and piracy.
Great, NASCAR in space
Being a, dare I say it, NASCAR fan, I'd not mind this one bit!
