What changes to Naval progeression?

Ok, previous the best way to get progression missions was to do a bunch of bulletin board missions across a few systems for different factions and get your rep up - once the well dried up move a bunch of systems along with different factions and start the process again (another method was to destroy and rebuild your rep) - been doing that since 1.3 came out and apart from 1 set of missions at the start of 1.3 (which then the devs fixed some bugs) I personally havnt had a sniff of any ranking missions at all.

Are others seeing the same nothing or getting a regular stream? Just curious to work out if the old way of triggering them is still valid or not.

I have the opposite problem - I've completed about 5 naval progression missions but I haven't gotten a single rank up so far.
 
I've seen both of the above. When 1.3 went live (and I'd returned from my exploration expedition) I had tons of Empire progression missions available to me. I did 4 missions to get from Marquis to Duke, with only the 4th one working. I then managed to get to Prince with only one other mission not triggering any progression. Then the missions dried up.

I've since moved on to try and advance my Federation rank (already Allied with them and a Post Commander despite the rep decay mechanic), but despite 3 or 4 days advancing my Fed rep with a mix of missions, handing in bounties etc, have yet to see a Fed rank progression mission.
 
Up until recently, if I wanted to rank up, I would do as you have just said. Do a hand full of reputation missions and along comes the ranking mission. If this did not work, I would simply go to another system and do the same and it worked every time. Then I got to Earl. Now with the new ranks, coming with PP, I have not even seen any reputation missions, apart from the new 'donation' missions and they don't seem to have any effect at all. I am mostly Allied and friendly and have read that this 'good' rep is bad for ranking, but I don't see or understand that theory. I can only assume that it is some kind of bug maybe.
