Cant get sol system permit

[Schizo]

I am still very new to ED and while this is probably a question that gets asked frequently I don't know what to do.

I have looked at several tutorials on youtube, forums and they all say to get a Sol permit you have to do federation specific missions and your rank will increase. 30 hours of trading missions later and my federation rep is at 1 percent. Am I doing something wrong? Or am I just hopeless...

You need to have federation rank Petty Officer.
When you get the rank, you will get Sol Permit automatically .

There is a bar that says 100% with rank by the federation tag but it doesn't say that I ranked up it just sits there.

Every time you reach 100% in rank, look for Federal Navy mission, when you accomplish that mission your rank will get level higher.

Thank you so much man. I've been going around not knowing what to do. Thanks!

to sum it up nice:

Do missions from the mission "board" at stations and/or bases (bases avilable if you have Horizons). Specificly, missions completed from a local group who represents the Federation (the Federation symbol next to the group in the misison tab) will be what you're looking for.

you'll gain a increase in Federation rank % when misisons are complete, and a bigger increase when those Local Federaton groups chnage their view on you (Friendly, allied, etc.)

In short, allow of misisons to do, but Sol also offers discounts on the Federation ships, so useful if you plan to use their unlockable ships.

You need to find a special mission called a Federal Navy Progression Opportunity. These only appear from Minor Factions you're Friendly or Allied with, the reason you're not getting yours is because you've been flying all over the place instead of building a powerbase of allies.

Find a home system with multiple Federation factions, build up a reputation with them and your rank mission will appear. And make absolutely sure they're Feds. Fed NPCs have a Federation logo on them, working for them increases your rank. Only working for Fed NPCs increases Fed rank.

You can rank up very quickly once you're experienced. I've only been working on my Fed rank for a week and I'm already at Chief Petty, making about a rank per session.

Curious on how you're doing it, I seem to average a rank per 24 hours...slowing down to about a rank to every 48 hours.

Famines and Plagues. I have a network of isolated systems, when they go into Famine or Outbreak I assist and that gets me vast amounts of rank very quickly. Also fits my RP quite nicely.
