Nice one! Thanks for sharing 
If needing to turn in to an empire owned station, then my 11 million credits turned in to Maausk won't help, but then what about my 25+ million credits turned in at Dakshandi event? It is an empire owned station.

and today i log in and first thing i see at the bulletin board, is an ascension mission.
hello? does it maybe require that i get at least one fraction point of each pilot rank? because the thing i didn't do for month until yesterday, was trading.
I dunno about the turning in vouchers raising your faction skill.
I've been grinding bounties in ALD Empire space and gotten to ~70% towards Elite. Turned in at least 3000 vouchers since starting the grind.
Currently ranked Marquis and still no ascension missions in sight. I've been donating cash to Empire factions every chance too.
If I do in fact reach Elite before getting another ascension mission that would mean you would have to earn at least enough bounties to go from Harmless all the way to Deadly before earning enough faction skill to advance. Since Elite requires about double the combat points it takes for Deadly. That doesn't seem right. Or maybe it's bugged for some players?
That does not answer my question look at my bounties 420000000 all at federation systems that alone should have me at admiral but also 50000000 in combat bonds not military enough for you then 47000000 in assination missions.
18560 bounties
1600 kills in combat zones
More kills in assination missions
Same on federation territory, spent months doing nothing but intense bounty hunting (as in, I would not stop before getting at the least 5000k-4000k in bounties per session) and Mercenary work (again, would only stop after getting huge amounts in vouchers) never got a promotion opportunity
then moved to doing lots and lots of missions of every kind, and STILL did not get a promotion opportunity
made a forum post asking about it (after researching in general and getting lots of different explanations), and got linked here
next time I logged on I had a promotion mission waiting for me
I really wish there was a clearer explanation for this, because as it is now, I have no idea if I should still be doing tons of missions, or i it would be more effective to go back to bounty hunting non stop; really want to be at a good enough rank to get the federal corvette when it comes out.
In my experience Bounties and Combat Bonds have zero effect on rank. Only missions seem to count.
I'll give you that it seems you need far fewer Combat missions than Charity to rank up though.
