Empire Naval Rank Grind Speed Report 2.2 - with HIP 10716 - Wu Gunagi Mission stacking

Passenger missions give rank progression both at the start and final destination. So if you end up accepting a mission from an Imperial faction and deliver to another Imperial faction, it will be the equivalent of 2 missions.

If you are grinding for rank I suggest doing it by passenger missions. All else is largely worthless right now. How much money you make is how much rep you get.

What ED really needs is well thought out, challenging and unstackable skill based missions that come with high risks but delivery high REP rewards. ED over uses time as the lowest common denominator in too many challenges imho. Navy rank is not hard or challenging its just time consuming...

+1. Well said.

FD has missed a huge opportunity here to provide an exciting alternative to the unbelievably boring rank grind. It doesn't even seem hard to implement. Just provide a linked set of varied naval missions, hardness commensurate with current rank/skill. They could cover the gamut of relevant mission types. There would even be scope to have some choice by the player depending on their tastes, but still have navy relevance.

I've also been ranking up on the HIP 10716 > Wu Gunagi data missions, I was stacking 20 at a time and taking me around 1-1.5 hours per rank :)

I'm now at Baron and a laughed like a Bond Villan when I first sat in the Clipper's pilot seat in VR and looked around!!! :)

Can someone explain to me why i can't fit an extra passenger even though i have the spare space?

right now i have Malena Wagner occupying 5 economy spaces and i can't pick up another passanger that occupies another 6 spaces. I have a class 6 economy cabin. So... i have 27 empty seats and i can't fit another goddamn person?

Rich tourists hog the whole cabin for themselves.

Finally made it to duke and bought my cutter :)
The last couple of ranks wee an absolute nightmare, takes sooo long. I wish pp contribution or killing enemies added to rank as well, not just missions (for hardly any money), i did end up spending about 3 million on donations but that's not that bad actually.

Nice man! Currently at 60% Baron and dreading the upcoming ranks. Wu / HIP is in War so not a whole lot coming out of them. I feel like I get kicked in the teeth every time I log on for 4+ hours only to see minimal progress. :(

one of the factions at wu g. just entered civil unrest today and i noticed a huge increase in donation missions, and they varied from 25k to 1000 k. Logging in and out 3 times at the 3 different stations in the system gave me a big boost to % progressions, basically 100% from viscount to count... but man just to think of the grind from count to earl, and earl to marquis and then finally to duke ! god help us all, brothers

With all the war in WU/Hip I've been doing refugee missions in my inflatable dinghy. Did 25 to 69% earl last night and 50M.. it's not as good as the boom time data missions but more balanced. May leave it until it comes back. Need more cash though. Shame these missions don't seem to contribute to trade rank.
