NPC crew and combat bonds

I enjoy combat most when I just do it for fun - grinding rank is pretty much the opposite so I can't imagine what it must be like for someone who doesn't particularly like combat :) Honestly though, as nice as the decal is I wouldn't bother again as there's not much else benefit to Combat Elite (not even bragging rights as there's no skill involved, just tenacity). As a matter of fact, on my alt account I'm trying my best to keep combat rank as low as I can because the element of surprise when coming across hostile players is not to be underestimated (and can be fun when they realise they can't squash a noob that easily).
It is really the decal I want been playing for about 4 years, it is time this was done, once done, I will be into the black forever, stopping off occasionally to sell stuff.

Duping people into thinking you’re a noob? You breaking rules there? :)
 
I've been doing Thargoid Scouts (each count as Elite rank) but it's soooo boring and tedious.

Didn't FDev nerf them recently? I used to grind scouts as well but stopped after that change. I do agree about boring and tedious too, the another reason I quit them.

Not sure, it's been a year or two since I had to churn through them - since then only focused on the flower ships as the scouts just irritate me now.

It's not even the scout combat itself but trying to find (and then travel to) a suitable NHSS. I guess it's not so bad if you enjoy sitting in SC looking at a timer to go down with not much else to do.
