Just made Deadly...

 

[Richard Bentley]

I reached Master level last night, with a total of 1250 kills.

Approximately 950 were bounty kills and the other 300 combat bonds.

 

[CMDR Han Job]

Rank = Dangerous
Bounties claimed = 8253
Profit from bounties = 132834666
Combat Bonds = 97
Profit from combat bonds = 907000
Assassinations = 0
Profit from assassinations = 952104
As yet unclaimed bounties (as not near relevant systems) = 196000


As you can see I have more kills and profit than many CMDR's with higher ranks so what is the secret to ranking up? Is it combat bonds?

 

[EDbubba]

Not profit-centric...

I really doubt that profit, other than being an indication of who and what you killed is a significant factor in ranking.

FD was very casual about the way they dramatically increased profits for all kinds of combat in 1.2, and there obviously would have been outrage if the "newer" players were suddenly leapfrogging the early-adopters.

Profits perhaps allow a player to be more time-efficient in kills (better equipment, earlier), but the absolute numbers, type of ship and ranks are probably still the major factors.

Bounties can be 3 times the number of kills, while bonds are 1/1. And usually bounties come from ships of lower rank than bonds. If you had 8300 kills in a conflict zone you would be close to Elite rank.

Cheers, I think I will give conflict zones a go, Is it the number of bonds or size of ship that matters?

I cant be sure, but its more profitable to go for big ships....than waste time chasing cobras.

 

[CMDR Han Job]

Thanks, I'm now going to wipe the galaxy of Anacondas (maybe)

 

[CMDR Han Job]

But probably not!

- - - Updated - - -

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

What were you doing to get Dangerous with 2800 kills?, I am Dangerous with 8300 kills, are you concentrating on bounties,combat bonds or Assassin missions??
