In preparation to 1.5, a lot of players might want to try out new Federal Corvette or Imperial Cutter. For sure, these ships will require high rank in Federation/Empire, so here is guide to relatively fast rank grind.
I did ranked from Chief Petty Officer to Ensign in 2 days, spending around 2 hours a day.
REQUIREMENTS:
PROCESS:
TL;DR You can rank up by doing combat missions, which you can stack, and complete 10-15 by doing 3-4, because killed targets counted to all missions of same type for same system. And you get money for such mission too! Around 3-4 million for 15 missions.
I did ranked from Chief Petty Officer to Ensign in 2 days, spending around 2 hours a day.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Combat capable ship. Fast ships preffered, or those, which are hard to mass lock.
- Some combat skills.
PROCESS:
- Find a system, where stations/outpost belong to Federation/Empire factions AND there is CIVIL WAR going on. For example, such system (Fed) is BARNARD'S STAR. After you found such system, dock at station or outpost there.
- Check bulleting board. Take all missions, which require killing civillians/bounty hunters/authority, and which are given by Fed/Emp factions. Refresh bulletin board by going Solo-Open if you run out of missions. Such missions will only involve 3-4 nearby systems, so all your missions targets will be in 3-4 systems nearby. When you have 10-15 missions in transactions, do next step.
- Start doing missions. Your missions are pretty much all same, so you for sure will have several missions of same type for 1 system. For example, there are 3 missions, which require you to kill civillians at (for example) 61 Cygni. 1st mission asks to kill 6 civillians, 2nd - 12, 3rd - 4. You don't need to kill 22 civillians, you just need to kill 12, and all three missions will be completed. Capiche?
You can stack same type missions, and you complete all of them by completing mission with most targets to kill. Hope you understand my text - Civillian targets can be found in NAV beacons, right near star, so you don't need to travel in SC looking for targets. Just drop at Nav beacon, and you have all targets at same place - civillians (that's every ship which is not police/pirate), bounty hunters (these will fire on you by themselves, right after scan) and police (they show up few minutes after you blow up innocent civillian at Nav beacon).
TL;DR You can rank up by doing combat missions, which you can stack, and complete 10-15 by doing 3-4, because killed targets counted to all missions of same type for same system. And you get money for such mission too! Around 3-4 million for 15 missions.
