Please can I have your combat stats

Question: Do I have to claim my bounties to have effect on combat rank?

From what I've seen, yes. But I might be wrong. I can say with absolute certainty, however, that combat zones requires only the kill, not to claim them. So If you die while have over half a million in unclaimed bonds, it will still count towards your Elite combat ranking.

yeah thats the thing as I have now 4mil unclaimed bounties as found conda belt and dont want to leave till my brains explodes but I think I should be so close to dangerous rank with 2,228 bounty kills and 284 bonds

Don't get too excited, I've seen people with higher numbers than that still Master. But then if the Devs are true to their word and the ranking of the individual bounties/bonds act as a multiplier, then I might reach Dangerous before you! I'm am ranking up ONLY through bonds and currently at 831 bonds at rank Expert. I don't have that much time to play everyday but I try to get at least 150-300 in a session. I'll have 2000 in no time.

yeah Ive had master since december so I have patience haha but still some info about how these things works would be great!

I honestly didn't expect myself to rank up so quickly from Novice to Expert in literally two sessions, where a session lasted about one a half hour. But I have to say, combat bonds is significantly faster than bounty hunting. Actually even more lucrative. Not because of the fancy multipliers, no. But because of a steady influx of ships. We combat pilots can finally level our income to that of a T6 trader with a 1500cr route. I just hope they don't nerve it, which is highly unlikely afterwhich they increased the payout for individual ships.

 

[Mr Duffo]

well just claimed 4.7mil bounties and no other effect than getting allied status with local faction hehe. For me I dont like conflict zones as those ships are too strong for the pay imo. Cobra belts are alot better with 20k pops but wings will make this even more better Im sure atleast what I tested belts has now varied pirate wings to shoot so not always single type of wanted ship per instance

I am running a short-ranged fighter Eagle with a C3 shield and light armor and like, almost everything at C or lower. I have only been killed once and that was from my own stupidity, doing sick moves around the capital ship with FA off.

I've ranked up at a Nav Point before . . so I think you don't have to cash in?

Question: Do I have to claim my bounties to have effect on combat rank?

Definetly not. All my rank increases happened while i was fighting. Progressed like 2 of them during my little adventure before the python nerf when i had 53Mill uncashed bounty.
Seems like progression also depends on your ship. If you are like me and shoot down a lot of cobras/eagles/adders/vipers... in your python you can expect becoming Dangerous around 3500-3700 bounty kills.

 

[clivewil]

i got to Dangerous a couple of days ago, with about 2,800 kills.
most of those were made while in a Cobra, the rest with an Asp

Updated stats:

This is somewhat (a couple of MCr in combat bonds maybe) after the promotion to deadly.
