Is combat rank broken?

So they are actually static and stay compromised forever?

I thought so, until I intended to visit one I found days earlier (Federation Faction controlled System).
Jumped into the System, only to find it was a normal NAV beacon again (?)

So far, I have no idea what criteria are used to create one - let alone the criteria that can apparently make them swap (?!)
All I remember was that several Factions within the System had Status : Bust when it was still compromised.

@OP: I am Elite and i can assure you that it takes a felt Eternity to get the last two Ranks Deadly and Elite. Just keep going.
 
Okay, I think that has cleared that up and saved me having to buy another Vulture needlessly. Thanks everybody, I shall be out tonight plugging anything at or above my rank with gusto!
 
That is a pretty bold claim considering we had the Devs themselves explain in detail how combat ranking works (it does not factor in ship size)

At Dangerous, you advance in points, and each ship is worth a set number of points regarding the combat rank of their pilot

Harmless is 0 points for you
Mostly Harmless 0
Novice 0
competent 0.25
Expert 0.5
Master 0.75
Dangerous 1.0
Deadly 1.25
Elite 1.5

It's 2000 points from Deadly to Elite, and probably less for Dangerous to Deadly, so you should see 1% improvements every 20 dangerous ships you shoot down.

where do you even find these things?
i only taught it was like it, i wasnt sure.
it would make sense tho.
 
Wrong.
Shoot Elite Sidewinders to advance.
(I am Elite.)

Yup high ranked Sidewinders, Eagles and Vipers are where it's at if you want to rank up fast.

The large ships take triple or quadruple the time to pound to death compared to blowing up the small ships in 1 or 2 passes.

I got Elite at around 11200 mostly farming high ranked small ships at HIRES.

It would be great if they made Bounty hunting CG systems have them for the duration of the CG for a start...
