No rank progression missions in weeks
- Thread starter Greccen
- Start date
What rank are you currently at? How do you know youve done enough local missions to unlock them?

When I was ranking up for the Empire earlier this week I noticed that if I abandon a mission or two then go and complete a few missions, that promotion one will show up.
I was stuck constantly doing missions to rank from Lord to Baron and I had two delivery missions that I didn't want to do. I abandoned them then completed the rest of my missions and at my last stop I saw the Baron rank up mission.
It is most likely a bug.
I have been trying working all missions for my chosen faction's minor factions, doing only missions for one faction at a station, doing all types of missions and sticking to one type + donation missions.
I have been trying for several weeks yet and cannot get the next ascension mission up.
It may be that things have changed and the higher you progress, the longer the wait. I have had to cancel a couple of missions (due to time or incompetence) but still no joy.
No convinced it is 100% bug (and not just we as players not understanding the full implications of getting these progression missions).
I try to keep in mind that any one of us can do 'something' and get an ascension mission and then claim that was what triggered it - but it could quite as easily been lucky timing.
For example, I farted quite loudly before getting my last ascension mission show in the bulletin board. Alas, I have tried many times over the last couple of weeks to repeat this, but it hasn't worked.
I also have rank of Count - which I am told is enough for the Facece permit - but I don't have that either so I am aiming for the next rank to see if that triggers it.

Those missions aren't working anyway except the pure delivery ones. All the others are broken and three versions have come and gone without a fix.

Same story as in RL corporate environment. There seems to be a bloody bottleneck of candidates to be promoted beyond a certain threshold.
I am sure it is the bloody Imperial HR department screwing up again I tell you!.

Sigh same problems? I thought I would escape the red tape work choosing a more corrupt society like the federation
Currently at Chief Petty Officer at Federation, so one rank to go to be Ensign, cherry picking missions for federal aligned factions at the bulletin boards with high hopes...

my biggest gripe with FD was all this hype about 'revamping the mission system' we were being fed for weeks in the dev's updates, supposedly "making it intuitive and clear" etc etc etc and then we got PP and nothing has changed. We are flying blind, we've all read Yonkai's guide but obviously it's not working for many many people and the sheer incomprehension of it all is quite annoying.

The ranks themselves arent bugged, tou can still get them, but, currently, with a single type of mission: the cargo ones, where you get issued stuff to carry to station X.
-Smuggling
-Assassination
-"Scrounging" (ie, bringing back illegal goods)
-Courier missions (the ones with the arrow)
do not work. I should know, I did a good 20 of them to no avail.
Managed to get to Lord by moving a lot while doing missions to up my rep and finally from time to time get a cargo mission that allows me to rank up.
That bug is a serious problem because it is gating access to a ship and to some planetary permits.
