EpisparhAnd for the last combat rank you need to kill a lot... I think it is 1700 points. Elite ships kills gives 1.25, deadly 1, dangerous 0.75.

Just keep going to Haz RES, high CZ and perhaps Thargoid interceptors - you will get there eventually.

I guess that will be my main activity in the next few weeks. Well, except hunting Thargoids. As far as I know the mechanics there require a different build. Besides, I don't want to upset the Far God.

I got stuck in the shuttle infinite loop. *sigh* That said... having to go back to Horizons briefly reminded me of how good it looks.

The slow progress starts when you hit Deadly. A week may not be enough.

I'm halfway through Dangerous, and it's already slow.

Well, now imagine dangerous - elite will take you x3-4 more effort as points required are far more and you will get less from anything that is not dangerous or elite.

Here is a music for the activity:

My preferred grind to Ship Combat Elite is Pirate Activity: Threat 6s. 100% of your opponents are ranked Deadly so there's no wasted time, and occasionally you get a bug where pre-Horizons ship can spawn which are basically freebies.

I see that my combat rank is progressing slowly since ED: O even if I do not do much combat nowadays. I am at 25% and I do not remember any long combat seasons.

I have been in viper III, I wanted go to my carrier, but I was tired of all these jumps. As everybody know,apex can spit you on carriers,so I set destination to near by station. When I arrived there,I transfered ship from carrier to near by station,where I been. Ship arrived,but I was unable to use lift to hangar for this ship. So I jumped with apex somewhere else for unbug,then I come back. Without no change. So I had to fly via apex to origin destinaion where was viper and I had to jump to my carrier for myself,then trasfer my ship from starport again. Wonderfull. Adn they call it like usefull mechanic.

You had to use Inter Astra to make the transferred ship your current ship after it arrived to your destination from the FC.

AKA you are your current ship. Even if you have a ship in the station you need to make your ship current to have it appear in the hangar.

I did that. I transfered ship via inter astra,when I was disembarked,ship arrived to me,but You cant use lift to hangar. Be in starport without ship,call it and try get into it.

I've noticed that also. I'm doing 95% on-foot since EDO launch and I've been promoted from Master to Dangerous in combat during that time and I've had zero ship combat. There is something in on-foot activities that grant us point for combat but can't pinpoint what exactly. Pretty sure that on-foot combat zone do not. Settlement Raid or any other mission involving getting rid of bad guys? Or just plain old murder when doing various missions?

And most of all, is it intended to be that way? or is it just a bug...

Recapitulation:
my current ship is in diferent system
I arrived with apex to starport where I havent a ship
I transfer diferent ship with inter astra to my current location
I cant use this ship,because I have set my current ship in diferent system

You can change your current ship with inter Astra. Just go there and select the ship and switch to it after it arrives before using the lift.

Ah, Blue Stahli.
Never thought that I'll say it, but you have a good taste, phah.
