Here are a few quotes if it can help you figure out stuff. I still think the ship you are in + the ship you kill + your respective combat ranks + fudge factor depending on situation (mission, bonds, murder) = rank up points. Rank up points = combat rank.

I think that kind of definitively answers the question of how it's calculated - simply a number of points based on your rank and the target's rank.

That makes a lot of sense. Combat zones get rank faster because the targets tend to be higher in combat rank, particularly in High Intensity zones. The rest of the disparity among the various players is probably just due to inaccuracy in actually counting kills - between bounties either lost or double counted and miscellaneous kills, we can't accurately measure total kill count, only give a rough estimate.

I agree. I have really big numbers because i killed a lot of small ships in my python. still doing warzone in python too but only big ships there. Will see when i turn Deadly.
Well fighting eagles helps you a lot getting better at FA off at least and i got extremely big amounts of money from it too. My aim is Deadly which sounds cooler to me than Elite.

Interesting to note that I was competent, went into a combat zone, killed a bunch of big, higher-ranking ships, died before I could cash in the bonds, and was expert when I re-popped.

Ranking

I deleted my save file to contribute to the thread. I am going only going to be raising my skill through combat bonds to give you conclusive numbers to work with.
I reached rank Novice at 75 bonds, Competent at 185. I am currently at 226 bonds and 1,727,000 credits earned from bonds. Seems the bonds raise your level, not necessarily claiming the credits. Sorry if any of these information hasn't already been posted, haven't had the time to read.

Did you note your credits earned at 75 and 185 bonds and how many for mostly harmless?
 
I have learned that credits do not affect the ranking for bonds. I reached all ranks while STILL in the conflict zones, and not when I claimed the bonds. Credits are irrelevent, as far as combat bonds go.

But I'm not talking about when you cash them in but when you earn them..... The amount of credits is proportional to the difficulty and therefore this is likely to have an effect.
 
I shall continue playing tomorrow and upload screenshots every time I reach a new rank. Since I literally just made this account, I can't upload just yet but I will by tomorrow. The way I do it is every time I destroy a target, I check my ranking to see if anything changed to record concrete data. I should have some relevant and interesting data within the next few days, depending on if I have the time to play.
 
Rank = Harmless
Bounties claimed = 0
Profit from bounties = 0
Combat Bonds = 0
Profit from combat bonds = 0
Assassinations = 0
Profit from assassinations = 0

And just for good measure: Kills = 0

Whether I earn them or cash them in, they are irrelevant. Why do you ask? Because I had literally 1,427 cr to my name the first time I entered the conflict zone and was rank Harmless. When I reached rank Novice at about 717,000 cr bonds unclaimed, I still had 1,427cr to my name. I claimed the bonds and as I thought I was still Novice but now with 718,427 cr in the bank. I returned moments later to the conflict zone and after a while, I reached Competent at exactly 185 bonds with still 717,427 cr in the bank but about only 600,000 cr unclaimed. I played for a while until 226 bonds and after claiming them the money was added up and, unsurprisingly enough, I was still at Competent.

From this we can conclude that bonds alone, without any bounties, rank you up linearly, without money having a factor. It's unlikely that this is wrong but there's always the possibility seeing as we don't have the actualy data from the Devs.

I ask because one of the developers stated that it is dependant on the difference between current rank and target rank. The credits also takes the same into account. Therefore it is quite likely that the rank could be found by a formula containing the credit value of each kill with murders etc being based on what the kill WOULD have been worth if it had not been a murder. Having that information would allow a check to be made against that option too.

Fresh from the War zone, Just turned DEADLY. Finally i can have that exploration trip when the 1.2 comes out. I will turn fighting to low priority now.

I turned Expert at exactly 420. How lucky I was that I decided to stop at 420! You see 421 because I wasn't fast enough to take a screenshot before some Eagle exploded. So there you have to. That's my time today, maybe next week I'll reach Dangerous but when I do, I'll definitely post my progress. Also, since I have not touched trading or any of the sort, I became friendly to the ruling minor factor AND the Federation only AFTER I logged in today. It wasn't like that at all yesterday.

He wants to know if 100 bonds @3000 CR rank you up slower than 100 bonds @10000 CR

in other words is the bond count or is the bond profit number a better indicator of your rank?

edit: ninja'd!

The problem with that is that I've been ranking up in Warzones. People die so quick it's hard to keep track of how much. I would literally have to have a co-pilot write that all down, or have voice attack write it down but my mic is currently broken.
