Does anyone know why my Imperial Navy Ascension missions don't appear anywhere?

They should show up once you cross the % required for the next rank, and will only do so in systems with an Imperial-allied faction. I'm not sure if the Imperial-allied faction has to be in control of the station/port or not.

I was on the forums for this very reason myself not to long ago myself. It turns out that in the latest update frontier tweaked a couple of values and now it's possible to complete the rank but not get enough reputation to trigger the ascension mission. Your permutation level which is hidden from you need a bit more to trigger the mission. Just keep doing boom data or massacre or whatever you're doing and you should see the mission pop up eventually.

Also as a side note because the amount of work needed to complete the rank goes up exponentially each level so does the amount of extra work you need to do to trigger the ascension mission.

If there's any confusion about it I can see if I can find the exact post I was reading for you.

Awesome info, and yay for hidden criteria! Is this "permutation level" related to your rep with the faction that's to give the ascension mission, or something more general/power-specific?

In case of doubt: have Allied status with the Empire aligned Minor faction as well as 100% Empire Rep and 100% into the rank.

Also good to know: your rank % keeps on growing in the background even though it stops at 100% in your current one until you've done a rank-up mission successfully.

well technically you can just filter for civil war systems.... but also do some research and see if you can verify they are a primarily influenced in that system by a militarized faction, that ups the chances it focuses on massacre missions rather than other missions before you head all the way out there.

Are you sure you are entering Smei Tsu? You;ve mis-spelt it in your original post. I've not been there but the data base has it listed in 'Smei Tsu'.

Edit: Ah I see what you mean, it doesn't have the planet listed for in the database for the station. Sorry, can't help.

howdy, cmdr ollobrains co ordinator of the improve the background simulation protest group, yes a large scale lockdown and UA bombing campaign is in effect, we have nothing against lorens legion or military militia our aim is to improve the Background system, and add new elements to it, the protest is however disrupting key community gathering points in order to move away from reptitive and over focused Fdev laziness.

You can find out more about our efforts at the subreddit r/EliteOllo - but player groups will no longer as part of our efforts have it all easy and cozy in community goals, Fdev needs to be lobbied to push the game engine harder (local community goals, gold rush states and more even distribution of emergent procedural expansion rather than set piece weekly events from frontier)

But good to see MM are responding with their actual playerbase and hauling and organising meta alloys and bounty hunting to protect the CG, this emergent gameplay is something we like to see, and it might even bring in more recruits as lorens legion found out when they embraced it.

We were also being the 17 draconis shutdown, and founders world lockdown a few weeks back, and we aer currently shutting down sothis with unknown artifacts. the community is responding and engaging the underlying background sim and we are happy this is occouring
