Greetings All. Pushing towards ranks is a good way to stay interested. Once you hit triple Elite... then what? I hit triple Elite a very long time ago.
So, to go from one rank to the next, you need to double the amount of points it took you to get to the next rank. My first suggestion is adding Tiers to the Elite ranks. Elite Tier 1, Elite Tier 2, Elite Tier 3, up to 5. So, to get from Elite 1 to Elite 2, you'd have to double all the points you accumulated in that area.
Then, I would break down each main area into three smaller area's and have the exact same ranking systems from harmless to Elite.
For instance, in Combat, you have the main Combat ranking, but then break it down into combat zone kills, bounty kills, and battle ground kills. The system already keeps track of those individual things.
Trade would be broken down into legal, black market, and rare commodities.
Exploration could be done by system, planet, etc.
I was playing Elite back in the early 1980's on a Commodore 64. I've been playing Elite: Dangerous since it launched. This would be a minor thing to make happen, but would have a major impact.
