Is there somewhere where I can fight for Fed rank?

Working on unlocking the Fed Gunship, getting quite tired of running data delivery. (Not to mention Niu Hsing seems to be drying up.)

Is there any system that gives alot of combat missions for the feds?
I also have the engineer task to get 50 combat vouchers for the feds, so I was hoping to kill 2 birds with one stone.

(and slightly Offtopic, should I focus on shields or armor for the gunship?)

Last time I was at Ngaliba there was a compromised nav beacon and conflict zones. Fed system so should be good for missions. I was farming the CompNav for a while.

I used a Gunship too, funnily enough. It's an odd build; almost a shield tank as I have engineered 6A shields and boosters, and one of the military slots has a 6A SCB in it.
If someone can get through that lot, then they have module and hull reinforcements alongside my reactive armour to wade through, all while being pummelled by 7 engineered multicannons and a Master SLF pilot with fixed pulse.
It's difficult to have more fun in this game than a Gunship.

Not sure they've left any way to achieve any reputation gain solemnly by fighting on personal initiative. ( basically without missions ) If I remember correctly, there was a time. Unfortunately the surrounding "place-holders" made it such that it became much too easy to obtain.

By all means if anyone could correct me!

Combat vouchers are obtained in any 'combat-zone'. Side with the Feds and you'll gain some on each kill. Its just a fancy way to rename 'bounty'.

Federal ships are more inclined to have resilient hulls. Current meta game-play pretty much forces you to have minimal shields of some sort to avoid direct module disruptions. You can get away with a lot of hull integrity and be fine but it's best combined with silent-running to minimize exposure to missile locks.

I'd focus on shields and modules, since you won't stick around when your shields drop anyhow, and any shot at your critical module can render you at least temporarily incapacitated, at least long enough to sustain fatal damage.

it seems its now independently controlled. So I should just look for a fed system in war instead?

There is a way to get Fed rank while doing fun illegal stuff. There are a very few Federal anarchy factions. Actually only six of them in the game, two of which are player factions. Look them up on EDDB.

Do missions for one of these, and many of the missions will be different from the usual rank grind - especially once you have become allied. They still count towards Fed rank though.

As of last weekend, one of these factions even controls its system.
