AmedievalmanI have been stuck at “master” in combat for weeks. I do tons of massacre and assassination missions.
Are there any tricks to gettting the most progress in comsat ranks?
Only kill ships that are at your rank or above as any that are below you do nothing to add to your combat rank. So, if you're currently at master then only kill ships that are ranked master, dangerous, deadly and elite. The higher the rank of the target the higher the rate of increase too so killing master-ranked targets will give you a fairly negligible increase but elite ranked targets will increase your rank the most.
Taking assassination missions etc may or may not provide targets that are ranked above you and, if they're not ranked at master or above, there really is no advantage to killing them. The best way is Anti-Xeno combat but if you're not geared out for that you'll die quickly.
After that, the best bet is probably hanging around compromised nav beacons and scanning everything. Only aim for elite ships and it'll start to increase slowly but surely.
With that said combat rank is, I believe, the slowest rank to increase.
The site below explains it pretty well with the actual figures:
