I´m curious why this isn´t a thing in Elite?
For me its more logical to get military navy ranks by fighting in the naval fleet rather than carrying vegetables from one station to another. Sure, it´s good to have that as an option for non fighting rank progression, but hey, if I´m fighting side by side with a Farragut Battlecruiser, saving dozens of federal pilots from getting annihilated to space dust I should get a few percent of naval rank. And a damn medal!
What do you think?
