QQ - Do Combat Mission Rewards Count Towards Combat Rank?

Quick Question! As above.

I know Trade & Exploration mission rewards add to their respective ranks so I was wondering if this applies to Combat missions such as Kill Pirate Lord, Massacre, etc. Or is combat rank solely based on kills?

I have Trade and Exploration Elite so Combat is the last badge, I am currently Expert 30% and haven't really done a huge amount of combat, mostly this is from destroying ships that Interdicted me or time spent getting a few bounties at the Nav Beacon.

Any advice appreciated. I have access to the best ships including the Vette so I could just sit in Res or CZ and rank up but it might be more fun doing missions, particularly of the Thargoid variety if they come to 3.0

Cheers :)

No. If this were the case, I would have been round the combat 'elite' clock three times because of assassinations. Unfortunately, and again as a direct result of my combat being 99% assassinations, my combat rank is pathetic. It takes me the same amount of time to kill one corvette in my courier as it does another player to faceroll 20 eagles in a CZ with their cutter. I know who deserves more combat rank between these two scenarios. ;)

This needs fixing at some point, but it's hardly a priority with everything else going on right now.

Thanks for the info, I thought that might be the case just surprised at missions count towards the other ranks.

I think I'll be gratuitously murdering Thargoid Scouts in my FDL when 3.0 lands. Seems quite effective at increasing rank in Beta (20 kills was about 10% of Expert) and I can tear through them quickly in my FDL. Depends I guess how they balance it, here's hoping for Thargoid CZ's.
