Indecisive NewtHello, does anyone know a decent way to increase imperial rank? I normally play as a trader, but my station doesn't give a lot of missions and even when it gives me trading missions they don't increase the rank by much if at all. I was wondering if there are certain missions I should be looking for, other than donation missions, for some one who can't afford a fer-de-lance or if there is a decent station.
GiyariYou can do mission board trading missions, but the profit isn't huge. Best advice is to just head deeper into Imp space, and get as close as you can to Achenar, and just keep grinding. You could also do Imp slave trading to fill the rest of your hold so you can max profit out.
It used to be that you could buy your rank - donation missions with an empire logo next to them from aligned factions would give you a boost. Is this still a thing?

Always kinda bothered me that unless you put your nose to the grindstone and focused solely on ranking up, by the time you reach the rank needed for most of the fed/imp ships you end up being able to purchase "better" ships, making the whole think kinda redundant.

True, I reach the Duke during the 2.0 game build, before they nerfed it to the ground. Now i have to stack for the Panther Clipper, Asp MkII and the Mamba

All this is true, however it is still something to do that will give you a definite long term goal.
