Increased Trade Rank = Increased Material Rewards?

I am ranking up with the federation at Niu Hsing and am enjoying the CIF, EFC and MEF rewards. However I am only an entrepreneur in trade and notice generally 1 unit of these rewards per data courier or haulage mission. Would I get more rewards with a higher rank? I am elite an exploration. I ask because I am trying to decide if I should use my cutter to get elite in trade (maybe some guardian ruins too?) before I level up there more to increase my rewards - but if data courier missions always give 1 unit it may not be worth it...?

Not that I ever noticed. I have been elite trader for a while now and was getting 1 of each as rewards just a few months ago. Unless something changed with a recent release I don't think trade rank makes a difference.

I don't think it's rank based, but it does seem to vary now mission to mission.

I've seen a lot of low level missions (I forget the actual rank they recommended) offer 2 Exquisite Focus Crystals. I've also seen some missions within the last week offering 8 units of certain low level materials (flawed focus crystals, mechanical scrap).

If there is a pattern, I'm not sure what it is.
