Here's where I am...

FEDERATION - Post Captain
EMPIRE - Neutral
ALLIANCE - Neutral

COMBAT - Harmless
TRADE - Broker
EXPLORATION - Trailblazer

I didn't think that Post Captain sounded a very high rank but the next one up is Rear Admiral.

I've not persued any ranks with the three major powers yet. Right now I'm about to begin working toward alliance with the Alioth Independents, to gain access to the 20% Asp discount. And from there, I'm probably going to enjoy some exploration again.

BTW, is the Federal Navy completely on the up and up? I notice that many of the bulletin board missions for rank advance seem to be on the illegal side of things?

It's a great life in the Federal Navy! Sure,we have to occasionally run the odd 'dodgy' mission but the pay is great and you get a cool hat.

Would you like to know more?

Just increase your rep with the faction that controls the system, trade, bounties, missions whatever. Eventually you'll get an invitation.

For the capitals Sol and Achenar they should unlock as you rank up with the Feds and Imperials.

I'd check at a Sol's nearby system's bulletin board. I think I saw that the invite is sometimes called "Making Friends and Going Places", something like that?

Thanks, I'd been sitting on Master 99% for some time now. Popped an Elite Annie in a conflict zone near Shapsugarbus (best name or worst name? biggrin )

For the founders world (Shinrata Dezhra) you must either have been a founder (Alpha/Beta) or reach the rank or Elite.

Sol permit comes with Federation rank. You might also be offered a permit mission if you do missions to raise your reputation with one of the factions in Sol such as 'Mother Gaia'. That's how I got my Van Maartens star permit, finding nearby systems where the 'Sublime order' had influence and raising my rep until they gave me a rank up style mission.

There was a bug early on where the permit wasn't granted but that's been fixed for a few months now (supposedly)

Sol permit was also granted automatically for Alpha/Beta backers I think.
