How do I get the rank missions?

[Volkner]

I've been at 100% on my rank now for a long time. I've done 40 or 50 missions since reaching 100%. I'm friendly or above with every minor faction in all three of the systems I've been doing the mission grind in ... but no rank up mission. What do I need to do?

You get it from a station controlled by relevant minor faction which you need to be either Cordial or Friendly with - can't remember wihich.

Ngalinn, Aitvas, and Mainani (spelling probably wrong), by any chance? Or are you doing the Fed grind up around Ochosi?

Ngalinn, Aitvas and mainni (spelling). I'm friendly or higher with every faction in all three systems. I've done at least 50 missions since reaching 100%, no rank up missions

The controlling minor faction must be Fed or Empire depending on which Rank you want.

How do I tell who they are aligned to?

[Witcher]

When you open Station Services if you see a Fed or Empire logo and controlling minor faction should also indicate if they are Fed or Empire aligned.

Edit: Actually, Factions in System map also shows.

You must have done something to displease RNGesus

My alt account has been there a while, just levelled up to Marquis. I've been seeing Navy missions quite regularly. I'm allied to all the Imp factions there. Friendly should be good enough... Just keep doing data transport missions (and only for the Imperial factions, not the others), that's where I keep seeing them.

It's an Imperial faction controlling. You can see the Empire symbol next to the faction rep on the missions screen. And it says "Controlling Faction".

You can also find it on the factions info under the "status" tab on the right hand panel.

If playing in Odyssey try switching to Horizon and see if you get the rank missions.

Yep that's it.

They finally started coming. When they did, I got one right after another. I went from 'outsider' to 'Baron' in short order. That's how much rep I had built up waiting for the missions to show up.

after reaching 100%, you have to look for the mission that has

>> FEDERAL NAVY, or IMPERIAL NAVY << in its title.

At the VERY bottom of the detailed misson description (scroll down) it should mention the new rank you aim for ( easily overlooked).
If you dont like that specific mission becasue you want a data courier mission and not a trader mission or so, you can fly to another allied faction/system/dock in your grinding loop.

Also , I learned a lot about the ranking up watching D2EA youtube videos.

Thanks, they did finally start coming when I discovered the trick. If I turn in my missions and then back out to the 'Launch' screen, then go back to the missions screen, the ranking missions then show up. Once I figured that out, all the rep I'd gathered took me all the way to Baron, one mission after the next.
