Has anyone seen them? I did missions for five systems now to become "friendly" with the leading (empire) faction, however I don't get any more ascension opportunities.
Am I missing something?

Imperial ranking missions?

I've just hit Knight this week, so I can confirm they still pop up from time to time. Although seem rarer than the lower ranks.
The last one that popped up appeared after I had travelled to a new area in space .. was around 5-10 jumps away and the first station I stopped at had them listed. Perhaps try a bit of a wider search? Might just be random tho, or some other trigger but thought I would share

Thanks. Progression to Knight was totally straightforward, I got one mission right after the last one.
Now I'm stuck.

I'd give that a read...
But the gist of it is, move around a little, keep doing missions, and keep positive happy thoughts. And try not to break the law.
And I got the Lord mission soon after the Knight one...but then when I was having some issues with knight I did a bunch (a buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunch) of missions for random stations so that might have been why.

I've been stuck at Lord rank for over a week now. I've become friendly with more factions and stations than I can remember.
The missions seem to have dried up on the bulletin boards too, even with the stations/outposts I am friendly and allied with.
I'm still getting at least two invites to Summerland on each bulletin board even though I got that permit ages ago.
I've tried travelling to the Achenar, Summerland, countless Empire systems, it just won't give me the next naval ascension mission for Baron.
I really don't understand it to be honest but I don't want to give up. I'm so close to the Clipper I can almost taste it (?!).

That's kind of where I am now....I have the money for it. I want it. But I need the rank for it. I've spent all of today just...doing missions. Usually 10 at a time...of the 'Bring us stuff!' variety.
Same here man, I feel your pain! We're being tested... I just know it. They are watching us... *shifty eyes*
I'm wondering if friendly might not be enough. Tomorrow I'll grind for allied in one system and see if this changes things.
I flew through the ranks to Baron back when they fixed up the missions in the first place, then everything just stopped.
I recently got my first in weeks which took me to Viscount so i know they are still about.
Despite only playing in Empire space i'm still only friendly with the main faction, i wonder if rep now prevents your progress?

I actually hit Allied with the Faction that controls the station I was doing them out of so I'm thinking it's time to move on. I will have that Clipper. And I will love it. For the Shiny Empire ships!
I think I've hit the reputation cap with empire since I've been Allied with them for some time and the +reputation signs in the faction window have stopped showing up, still only baron though. Either it's bugged or there are is some kind of other prerequisite for rank missions.
I can confirm the ranks are working I have both Lieutenant & Viscount ranks. I found they tick best if you only do missions for the one faction in a given station and focus on providing the 'x station needs this, gift missions' whenever they become available and work on more than two stations/systems (it might feel like your giving way a load of credits; but every so often a sweet contract will pop -eg take 6 tons of gold to station Y for 190k or so, so you don't end up losing credits.

I'm going to focus on getting some of the many friendly stations to allied over the weekend.
Does anyone know if we are still getting the "Summerland Permit" missions popping up on the bulletin board that it is somehow bugging out regular reputation progression?
I'm hoping not as I will carry on regardless with the missions to see if I can get the next rank progression mission to pop up
I bet it will pop up right at the end of a session when I should be getting some sleep and I'll end up sticking the Kettle on for a Coffee to get it done lest it doesn't come back up again for ages lol

Hi Yokai, I actually read your guide all the way through and it is what's got me to Lord Rank.
Now, however, I seem to be stuck at this rank being spammed with invitations to Summerland. and no rank progression missions no matter what I do according to your guide.
Thanks for the guide though btw, it got me this far!
For me, it seems they all pop up at once after I've done 3 or 4 of the same types of missions consistently. I just hit Count last night after getting 3 assassination ranking missions all at once, after I had just completed 2 or 3 hunter-killer missions. Before that, I had been sitting at Viscount for like a week and a half. Sometimes they take a while to pop up, I guess?
I am squire and allied with the Empire. I was taking another ranking mission (I guess for knight) to kill 5 pirates in an Anarchy system without any planet, outpost or a nav beacon. So I searched the USS and dropped into one after another but found only goods and shipwrecks. After few of those I eventually got into USS with 4 or 5 ships. I started to scan them with KWS (as everyone is clean normally) and then chase them. 2 jumped out before I could finish them, 2 I got and 1 probably got lost.
When refueling in the neighborhood system I got the mission to retrieve 2 artefacts from the same system I was searching for pirates. Since then most of the USS had artefacts, even when I already picked 2 for the mission. Only after I returned them to collect my payment the USS started vary a bit more, but still no pirate.
Anyway, I visited probably 10-15 USS, but after the first encounter never met another pirate, only cargo. It looked like randomizator got it wrong and for some reason always preferred to generate cargo. After two hours (mission was for 3:15) I gave up. This was somewhat frustrating - the mission outcome was more determined by USS random generator than my "searching" or fighting skills.

It gets a bit slow at the upper ranks, but eventually it works. It took me quite some time to reach max rank with the Feds, and now I'm imperial Viscount, and it was slow to get. Count maybe this weekend, but I don't expect to see Earl before I'm fully allied with the imerials.
