how do i incress faction rank? all the missions they give me now none of them inprove the faction rank

[Dot]

Yep. Eventually faction rank is capped. Here is what I was able to achive:
Civilians - Missiom Rank 10
HazardInc - 2 (haven't done much for them)
Miners - 5
Bounty Hunters - 7
TSF - 7
But mission rank is needed only for quick docking and ship purchase. Relations calculated another way. Mission rank can not decreace, even if you become hostile to faction.

There must be one, since I haven't edited my rank, but it will not give you anything unless you are using my mod with buyable Priam MkII. There is no rank 7 ships sold by BH in vanilla.

Mission rank increases as a combo of the mission type (eg: courier won't get you to 10) and mission difficulty. So when trying to increase mission rank - try chosing the highest tier mission (usually at the bottom of the mission list) and try increasing mission difficulty.

alright i am now the max mission rank! now how do i beable to buy the destroyer and frigates from them? is the only way to capture the station? :P

[chaosavy]

Some factions won't sell you their ships - or won't sell you all their ships. So capturing (the base or the ship) is the way to go if you want a particular ship.

alright how to i take a base? just attack it with my fleet?

[chaosavy]

No - look around for a ship that captures bases.

alright

i remeber finding one base were it is a crime to own it but this ship spawns in base capture ships but i cant find that base again >.<

Yax or Yellowstone. And 3 Pirate bases. Ships are:
Wildcat(25marines,550k base cost, 22k per marine),
Glutton(40 marines, 750k, 18.75k per marine),
NoJoy(70 marines, 1m base cost, 14.28k per marine).
With usual base crews of 1250 marines(some bases have less) you will need 50+ Wildcats or 32+Gluttons or 18+ NoJoys. As you see, only NoJoy worth something and Wildcat is a complete overpriced junk.
If you're a pirate you can by as much ships as you need. If you're a "lawful citizen" then Jax and Yellowstone are your only way. You'll buy 1-2 ships then leave. Then return, praying that desired ship will reapear in stock.
Alternatively you can mod desired ships to be buyable(it is super easy) or install my mod where TSF also have a base capture ship.

when i buy a pirate ship will only my main ship be at risk? or also my mining ships that are not in my fleet?

P.S i want to counqer the galaxy in this game atm im trying to get enouth mining ships so i get 100K every secent from there mining missions

[Dot]

With enough "lawless" actions you will become hostile to TSF and BH. After that all of your ships will be valid targets. It is better to cancel all other ships(mining/trading) if youre planning to mess with TSF+Civs+BH.

so..when i am at the point im getting 100K every scent i buy a boat load of ships and place them in defence around my mining area?

[Dot]

Something like that... I dunno... Never bothered with mining and asteroid field defense. And don't want to do that until Chaosavy will make some "all owned ships info screen" since it is too boring to check every ship status and there is no message if one of your ships was destroyed out there. For now I just spammed traders and frequently harrasing pirate bases with my main
fleet.
