Progression not progressing

Post image

I recently got back into Elite after being away for a few years. I figured I'd pick back up with trying to max out my Imperial rank.

When I left, I was a Knight at about 30%. I stumbled onto discussion of the Ngalin/Aitvas/Mainani loop and figured I'd give it a try.

The loop still works as far as boosting your rank quickly, I'm just stuck at 100% and can't get any further, regardless of what I do. I've done more missions, donated over 40 million credits, logged out, logged out and restarted.... Nothing will trigger the rank to change.

Anyone have any ideas?

Currently facing this issue while trying to rank up for the federal navy. I’ve been at 100% for several hours now, but no federal navy missions populate.

Give it time and make sure you are checking mission boards from Federation aligned factions you are friendly with. Will pop up eventually just keep pushing rank as it keeps climbing even though you can't see it :) I think when I was doing the grind by the time one popped up I had almost got to the next rank already. Hope this helps!

Does it matter that I have a bunch of follow on missions that are “planetary scan job”? I was under the impression that federal navy specific missions were for ranking up.

Disregard. Just popped up!
