So what are the actual Elite rank tiers then?

[Matt]

Anyone know if we have and specific details on what the elite rating tiers are for combat, trading and exploration?

So in the old games, it was a simple matter of X kills before the next rank - e.g. 8 kills for mostly harmless, 16 for novice, 32 for competent etc.

Do we know what they are for Elite Dangerous?

Prety pelase devs are you going to tell us? Might help with the compo

I went from mostly harmless to novice at around 70 collected bounties, but i think the system takes into account the rank difference between you and the kill and even possibly the amount of credits those bounties have paid.

Yeah I think it is a variable amount too - i.e. not all kills are equal.

Right now though I am not sure anyone *knows* for sure (apart from Frontier of course).

Well for trading I am up to merchant, and I have seen entrepreneur. I think it goes penniless, mostly penniless, dealer, merchant, then something else, then entrepreneur. Peddler is in there somewhere too.


For exploration, aimless, mostly aimless, scout? I have seen screenshots of trailblazer ? Surveyor is before trail blazer I believe.

I haven't seen a published list of these, and I have been looking around for it.

Oh there is a list: http://lavewiki.com/rank-and-reputation

We just don't know what it takes to go from say "Harmless" to "Mostly Harmless" and so on.

There's a lot of grind in this game and I'm not bemoaning that but I really wish there was xp/progress bars. Seeing thatextra millimetre helps focus.
