If you have problems with rank progression please read this

Greetings commanders
as you can see from the topic you might wanna read and try the method I wanna tell you if you keep doing naval mission to get a higher rank but you stay in the rank you currently are . Even after doing the naval missions 4 or 5 times
so I understand that this bug has frustrated a lot of the commanders who wanna get their lovely imperial clipper like me but as I said are stock in the naval missions
what I'm about to tell you could not work but you might wanna try it .
analyzing this bug I realized that there might be some sort of pattern with this problem
Here's why : when I was trying to rank up and this problem occurred I was outside of the power territory I supported ( senator petreus is the power I support ) and I thought that maybe this bug happens when you are outside of your powers territory ... So I packed my stuff and jumped to senators controlled space and searched the ports until I found a naval ascension mission and accepted it and finished it with success
After that I returned and pressed finish and guess what ? My rank went from outsider to serf !
You might wanna try this as well if you have problems ranking up ! Go to your powers controlled space and try to do a rank mission and see what happens
Again I won't promise that this solution works against this bug but you might wanna try it
I hope this will fix your problems and you can get that baron rank to get your lovely clipper
Fly safe
And let me know if my method worked for you

I was unable to make any sense of what you wrote. Better luck next time.

P.S. Proof reading... It's a thing.
 
Does not apply to me, as I'm not pledged to any power. Yet I got to King, somehow. Currently struggling to get past Captain with the feds, let alone have any naval mission show at all.

My bulletin boards are stuffed full of naval progression opportunites. I've now done 5 of them and still haven't ranked up. Bug
 
I posted a different thread related to Missions not being completable. Everything was performed in my chosen power's space. I believe it all just comes down to the luck of how the game generates USS content.

yup same! Still outsider just done two missions for progression and none of them worked! Took me about an hour to find a target and didn't get promoted! This game goes from bugged to broken to bugged to broken, it never has ever actually worked as intended! Very frustrating!
 
Can we please all agree to just keep the default font and color? PLEASE? People decide to choose the ones that are annoying to try and read. :(

I haven't even received another rank mission since the patch that was supposed to fix it.

When mine didn't show up I just logged out and in again and there it was. Could it just be a stats update timing issue? Probably not - but just sayin..
 
Allow me to translate. For those experiencing the rank up bug try going to a system controlled by the faction you are pledged to.

Probably just a coincidence to me but meh.

15 attempts of different navel progressions in my powers system only (actually accept from my powers homeworld), FAIL, coincidence and luck.

LOL - gold... repped for making me laugh.

I think you meant 'naval' heehee.

On topic -

I'm stuck too with the Feds at Chief petty Officer (just below Ensign). I only get the offer of a permit to PLX 695 - which I already have.
Will try to do some more bulletin board checks now I've moved systems due to Powerplay (still in Fed space though).

Thanks OP - your english writing skills may not be the best, but your heart i in the right place. repped too - thanks for the tip!
 
Haven't had a single rank-up mission pop up since 1.3. Tried all methods working prior. It's not just bugged, it's royally screwed up.
 
I haven't had a rank progression mission since 1.2. That's like 2 months I think. I'm stumped as to why. I've done sooooo many missions. I mean I was a baron with a Clipper and now I have an Anaconda so I've come far and 90% of what I've done has been within the empire and with Allied local rep. I'm stumped. I guess I should probably lodge a ticket
 
I ranked up twice today, from Midshipman to Chief Petty Officer. Nothing buggy for me, just the same old grind.
