I was Vice admiral and decided to finish my Fed rank. So I did a bit of research and headed to the the "place to be" for Fed ranking, charity mission spam. To my surprise even though only being 30% of the way to Admiral (which took several weeks), 45mins later I was Admiral. And the last ranks take the longest! Yet it took me less time, than it originally took to get Cadet. Doing some rough math, I believe someone could quite easily go from Recruit to Admiral in just a few hours.. maybe 4-5 at most.
Do you guys/galls believe this is intended? Not only going from lowest to highest rank in one afternoon, but to do it in such a pathetic manner? I'm not sure this is a bug either, as it wasnt very hard to find the info. And this has been talked about since the middle of last year. So either FD is completely clueless and doesnt follow these forums as closely as they should and simply arent aware (and its a bug). Or the only thing left, is that its by design? To sit in a station, without doing a single thing except flip through menu's to achieve maximum rank. And do it quicker than any other activity by a long shot. This is how you "EARN" rank in Elite now? I have to say, whether its due to their ignorance or if its by design, both scenario's are quite sad.
Ok time for all the crybabies to come out and tell me how im trying to ruining the game for them XD To you I say, dont worry... its pretty tough to ruin crap, and thats what charity mission ranking is. And to all those poor soals that are just squirrels trying to get a nut (you want fed rank) head to "17 Draconis" now!! Dont even reply and tell me how im rubbish, just go over there, you can thank me later, in a few hours you can be Admiral too.
