HyokkudaAnywhere that's controlled by the Federation. I've been in starports and outposts. No ports or settlements though, just landing on a planet takes too long. lol
You're at 100% rank, have at least 75% or better Reputation with the Superpower itself and are at least Friendly or better yet Allied with a Minor faction that is aligned to the appropriate Superpower?
If you can answer all those questions with Yes you should be good. Only a matter of flipping the boards until you get something.

If I wasn't, they would show them anyway "under requirement not met" even though I need to be Friendly or Allied with them at least. That happened before. Maaaaybe I am just out of luck.

I will check it out, thanks.
I had no issues before when I started from nothing and grinding up to Warrant Officer. I think it only took me 4 days. I guess I was just in the right systems before. 
Van R FlyheightFionn has 6 Federal factions and Rhea has 5. These are good places to look. Also Minor factions that you are friendly/allied with are more likely to give you Naval promotion missions. Other than that, I guess it's just patience.
Edit: Thanks Van! I just arrived to Fionn and there's one. It's in requirements not met, but as long as I see it, I'm happy with that.
Time to make them love me!Last edit: 20 Nov 2017, 5:50pm

The PresenceThere's a secret base at Soontill that's worth a look...
That's a good one :-)
I recommend EVERYONE goes to check that one. It's a little off the bubble, but it's quite unique. Sadly doesn't quite meet my requirements for the base, so I'll have to move elsewhere, but thanks for the tip anyway!!! Much appreciated

I wouldn't worry - all missions you run still count in your next ranks whether or not you get or take the promotion mission
At the start I never bothered with the actual naval rank up missions - and when i did I went up 4 ranks in a row (as I was promoted - next rank said 100% from the start and so on).
So just keep plugging until you get it [edit - seen you have found one]

Tun is not a bad place for Fed rank ups.

Iam currently looking for "Modular Terminals" to hand over to Engineer Marco Qwent
Sofar over the last few days i havent seen any as Mission rewards.
But have seen plenty as Passenger transport reward.
Am i being unlucky or can Modular Terminals only be gained from Passenger transport in current game version?

Gormadoc...Am i being unlucky or can Modular Terminals only be gained from Passenger transport in current game version?
unlucky, I see them also on normal missions. (think chances are better when you are allied with MFs)

For instance;
BOOM DATA DELIVERY
8,435 CR, COMMODITIES [4], REP++, INF++
For some missions, you will probably need to be cordial or friendly with them. Just be sure to look under the requirements not met. I hope this helps!
GormadocI came back to the game yesterday after long pause.

I broke down and installed passenger modules. got the 25 modular terminals needed for Marco Quent in a couple of hours. I looked for about two weeks with no luck. I think passenger missions may be the only reliable way to find MTs.

what do you think it'll be? some sort of torpedo weapon?
