Federation Rank progression opportunities

Postby JohnLuke » Fri Dec 25, 2015 9:14 pm

Here's some easy rank BB missions for ya in Taribes. ;)

Lot's of donation missions available for the two Fed minor factions, and several other quick 'fetch' missions, too.

I got to rear admiral in 17 Draconis... Was pretty damn easy.

Thanks for this. I want that FAS but with family over for Christmas, leaving the station on a killing spree hasn't been possible. Cheers.

Sit in one of the stations we specified and start cranking out charity missions. You'll rank up in NO time.

17 Draconis is a full station, but it's pretty far out.

Made it to Rear Admiral, today, trying both systems. I went to Taribes first, because that was much closer, but I had to buy an Eagle in a system nearby as I went there with my Conda. At first the rate at which it gave me charity missions wasn't too bad (I went from about 50% into Lt Commander to about 50% into Post Commander), but after some time it completely dried out so I moved to 17 Draconis to do the rest. It was much faster, there! About twice as fast.

Yup I've tried to promote 17 Draconis ever since I found out about it but it hasn't really caught on. I've been focused on hitting rear admiral since the Corvette was announced. It's honestly the best place to go at this point. I did my research. Only because the station is so far out and it is in famine status.

I second that. I went up 1.25 ranks today in about 4 hrs.
There are also some excellent long range missions there as well. Varying cargo capacities with rewards of upto 5.5 million. On average the destinations are 320 yo 380 lys away and it does seem that you can stack them as well.
So thank you rodgeirr for making this system known about. It done me a treat and got me to corvette rank :)
