That's impressive to look at. Although I keep thinking that VR might bring alot to the table as well


I have a fsx simulator build and use 8 monitors and head tracking its all I need now let sytek create some instruments fore elite for  their instrument panels and I am in heaven.

I got a question, have anyone encountered that after ranking up in the empire once, your federation rank was reset back to recruit? and if so can you tell me if I lost all my rank progress and should ragequit or just do rank up missions again, I was Lt. Commander and it had taken me a long time

if this is the case you probably had an error. Maybe try to contact FD support, they can look into it (https://support.frontier.co.uk/login.php)

Hmmm....maybe there is some sort of new ED feature?
As far as I can remember, in Elite 2 Frontier you couldn't be pledged to both powers at once (in short time after you pledged to second power - you've been loosing rank in previous one). Maybe Frontier Developments decided to make the same in ED now?
On the other hand, if that's the case - they would have noticed that in Release Notes, so I believe it's just a bug.

That's a big negative there Chief. Only confirmed way to gain rank (That I'm aware of) is to accept missions. However, if you find missions relating to the death of the Emperor's Dawn terrorist ships on the bulletin boards (Not talking about the CG mission), then you could do them in sync, get a little extra cash and rank along with the bonds and the CG bonus.

There were couple of posts in Elite Dangerous Community FB public about this:

NAVAL ASCENSION MISSIONS EXPLAINED:

Let's use the analogy of buckets of water. To gain an Imperial rank of outsider, you need 1x 10litre bucket full of water. That means you do maybe 3-5 missions in one system - an arbitrary guess.

Let's go up to Baron. Now you need 3x 10litre buckets. If you fill one bucket with 30 litres, will you have 30 litres? NO, 20 will be wasted. You need to put 10 litres in each bucket. Doing many, many missions in one system, is an absolute WASTE

THAT MEANS; in order to gain Imperial or Federation rank, you need to do missions in MANY, DIFFERENT systems. I spent months and months spamming missions in 2x systems. No progress.

The minute I stepped out of that rut (thanks to the advice from Alex), I made progress.

Essentially, the fame of your name needs to spread through your ship and you doing missions, throughout the government you're with. The more places you go, the better

NAVAL RANKING GUIDE
*****

Sooo, tell me more about how you do "15 missions" and expect to become a KING in the Empire?? Come son, sit, let the old Duke tell you a thing. For a start, you cannot only do 15 donation missions and expect to rule the world. It takes a lot of WORK. You have to prove that you have what it takes for people to bow a knee to you.

I researched Reddit and the Frontier forums. Below, a few averages per rank, with missions and mission cost (donation missions). I hope this helps.

* Note, the cost is based on an average donation of 11,000 credits / donation *
** These are the number of missions PER RANK

ALSO note my water bucket thread:

In one of the frontier streams they talked about having a maximum of 4 crewmembers for the larger ships pilo,t engineer navigation/coms and weapons.
actualy you can make it 5 .
Having 4 cmdrs to operate the ship and 1 captain to have the overview and makes him the binding factor of your ship.

If you have the setup of multiple commanders in one room, in the same way as

The Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator.
I know it looks geeky but you get the idea

Im wondering if FD made it so that the corvettes/cutters replace the condas in federal and imperial conflict zones and independent factions still have condas

the anacondas are multipurpose ships does everything extremy well and it is a great explorers but has a weaknes their powercores are extremely vulnerable to battle damage.
the corvette is a combat ship and and the imp cutter as the story goes a large passenger ship.
the new panther clipper is the larges upcoming trade ship .

so the role of the anaconda is unchanged but it no longer the premier battle ship..
