Would it work against Elite AI pirates? The Type 10 has a back side the size of Stonehenge. Would point-defence help against a well-aimed torpedo from 200m away?

FA off, give it a spin. The thing is made of turrets, and low res have small ship that don't last long. Or find a roid and hug it like an Aisling body pillow. Note that you should avoid contract with "mercenary coming for you". Those spawn real ships like anaconda and stuff.

Bad idea. Shinra is pretty much useless to someone who is triple elite. It's not to a new elite.
Also, elite in combat is not hard, it's just long and grindy, and you avoid that by doing AFK belt murdering.

I'm talking about before the game went live, it wasnt set in stone you'd need Elite to get into Shinrarta, nor were any of us aware of how the ranks would be split up so it most defenetly wasn't bad idea for either of the two reasons you mention because as far as any of us knew those things didn't exist.

Yeah, basing everything off credits seems pointless, even redundant. Exploration should be based off something like number of first discoveries. That's kinda the point of exploration. I'm not sure what to do with trade. Maybe profit margin instead of total profit? Number of stations dealt with? Just to keep people from getting elite off a single CG or booze cruise.

Trade like Combat should be a way for a potential employer to assess how well a commander could fulfill a contract, so just as combat awards pts vs opponents of higher or lower rank so trade should have awarded vs missions of higher or lower rank. Instead contracts are offered to whoever donated sufficient to political party 'X', go figure...

I made it to triple elite a few days ago after playing since release in december 2014. Got only a boring mail in the chat box. 😐

Hmm, I think you got a Triple Elite Decal too.

Oh and triple elite means you can do The Experimental Effect, engineer mods from the Menu, meaning you dont have to fly to each engineer every time you make a few modifications.
Oh wait sorry that was a dream I had.

Yer just the decal.

So when you rank up in every aspect of Elite Dangerous (Trade, Combat, Explorer) you see an improved badge that grows all the way to Elite.
Yet now when you hit the "prestige" ranks it stays the same??
No stars to denote the ranks of 1 to 5? Or Roman symbols? Just the same old badge...
Honestly, that was actually a pretty big let down to not see recognition for this extension above Elite with the badge.
Oh well...

I agree. Ranks means little, and certainly not a test of skill. I was elite explorer stupidly fast as a new player. Surprised myself, went exploring for 2 days, came back and was half way through the last rank. Literally.

Which make those "prestige" rank even sillier, IMO.

So do these ranks do anything to rebuy cost or am I trying to hunt down information dropped in by some troll?
