Look at the purple link in my sig block.
Fed/Empire Rank Progression completely borked since 1.06 ?
- Thread starter Coar
- Start date
Look at the purple link in my sig block.
This is just broken. I was doing over 30 missions today and even moved over 200 ly away from my usual space. Every empire subfaction (even 200 ly away) was already friendly and I cannot achieve rep increase at all. I'm stuck with the rank lord now an nothing I tried moves it any further.
The broken game design of this pos just drives me insane. The lack of feedback if you're even remotely doing the right thing is disgusting.
Besides, with all due respect, the stuff in the purple link is just a pile of misinformation too. The percentage value gained buy completing missions has absolutely nothing to do with personal stats. It reflects the system status. Whenever the faction the mission is for has a lower percentage rating, that faction gains 1% after completion of a mission. If this faction is dominating the percentage increase is 0%. My guess is that there is rounding involved meaning it's not really increasing nothing at all but something like 0,1%. But anyway the percentage reflects influence as stated in the mission debriefing and not a personal status.
That leaves me with the impression that this game is just broken and in an eary alpha state. Nothing works properly, nothing is explained properly, everything is open to wild guesses. Sorry, but this game should have never been released in such a state.
I'm going to delete the game for now and maybe take another look a few months down the road. But after having spent 6 hours !!! today achieving nothing I can only come to the conclusion that this is not fun at all, not matter how much I want it to be.

You can add this to your list of borked missions and fun reputation wreckage.
Ive given up. Stuck at Lord for days. Even been doing missions in other systems. So stuff it. Ill go play FC4 until they fix it. If i never see another USS full of wedding ships and funeral barges again it will be too soon. Oh and that tech trader in his t9, one day Im going to blast the sucker.
Its frustrating. Great game still, but i need variety.

You know, I don't think its actually bugged, I think its just poor code design. I was stuck at Chief petty officer with the usual missions unobtainable as you have this permit, well I had a donation mission come up in another system, i did this and then some gun running mission came up and I got promoted to Warrant officer on the back of it but then I now get more unobtainable missions saying I have a permit to Ross already, you know I think anyone who is getting these messages needs to just ignore them, a promotion mission will still come up, possibly at another system.
.
FDEV just need to fix this annoying unobtainable misson as its a bit of a Red Herring, if the bulletin board knows you already have this permit which it does, just dont display the mission at all! Its obvious!.

Yup. In the past I've had those unobtainable fed missions show up due to permits, but, eventually, another, claimable, mission would also come along. I think the federal invitation and the federal rank progression missions are two different branches to the tree.
I also ranked up just last night after lugging some non lethal weapons around for a while waiting for the mission to show up that wanted them
Incidentally, I've now ranked up to warrant officer with the federation and have only had to fight one ship. They're a very polite army, it seems.

hehe, good idea, I keep thinking I shoudl keep half a dozen Non Lethal weapons in my hold, or combat stabilisers if i could ever find any. I had two generals to kill, both in drop ships but I think that was because the same mission came up twice as they do sometimes (at the same time)

I forgot to add, another thing I found is useful if you want to boost your Fed Rep, is to just sit in aFed system and bounty hunt a load of 'Wanteds' that boosts your rep when you claim the bountys.

Yar. You can also hop across the galaxy, pick up a cargo-load of rares, and sell them all back at the station you want to be friendly with. Stations tend to appreciate that and reward you with a rep increase.
