Hello its Ricardo and welcome to another episode of reboot and restart the cities
where I start elite dangerous a game using a steam account anyway I want to
talk today about Federation rank and the sole permit now the sole permit our good
old home system if you want to go and fly past earth if you want to go and fly
past the moon Saturn and visit that I suppose shangri-la of all systems you're
gonna need a permit now I was a Kickstarter backer and as a result of
which I managed to get there anyway I already was given that permit as part of
of that Kickstarter campaign all those years ago but starting again you're
gonna have to try and achieve that and that's achieved by getting or gaining
Federation rank now you can do this by looking out for the federal Navy career
missions that are going to pop up on all of the mission boards now it goes
without saying you have to be in a federal controlled area of space and you
can check that out via galaxy map right if you're not gonna get federal missions
if you're in a lie-in space or imperial space in imperial space you're gonna get
imperial missions right and an alliance space or you're not going to get
missions cuz that goes they think on exploration and reputation so check it
out right so federal space go in there do
some delivery missions get your reputation you influence up so take
those missions for the delivery and then when you get to your rewards using the
new 3.0 rewards system go for the reputation and the influence as opposed
to the cash that'll build your standing with the local factions and the
superpower and then you'll soon start getting these courier missions delivery
missions and the like which you've complete them
pop over to the right-hand tab and you'll see your rank increase so you'll
go from recruit to ensign or whatever it is and there's an entire range that you
can get to once you get to midshipman then you're gonna get the sole permit
and then you're gonna be able to go and visit Seoul so quite a process a little
bit of a grind but with this and like something the grinds you had in the
league dangerous you tend not to notice it I did to be honest you I was
advancing through the ranks when I first did this back a couple of years ago and
I didn't realize what I was doing and all of a sudden hey you know I was I was
a midshipman or what-have-you anyway things to point out when you are
doing your superpower ranking whether it be Imperial or federal obviously the
permits are something that are linked to this you have to be a certain rank to
get a certain permit but in addition to that you can't buy certain ships unless
you're a certain rank oh yes indeed they have locked down the ships from 4xu down
this superpower route so if you want for example to get that lovely shiny
Corvette then you know you're gonna have to have a certain rank if you want to
get the federal drop ship again a certain rank and the same with the
Imperial rank system as well I mean you've got to be at least Duke to get a
cutter for example so things to bear in mind now these missions are going to pop
up once you do enough missions for that faction and you've got your reputation
up now the bow on the right hand side and the right hand panel you'll see
it'll it'll hover at certain percentages depending on how many missions that
you've done complete the missions get to a hundred percent and then keep a beady
eye on the mission board to see that next in this case federal mission that
you can try and accept and then go and perform to gain more
rank within that faction so there you go that was a brief rundown on federal
missions now the sole system it's the heart of the federal Empire as you'd
expect or it always was I don't really see the fascination about it unless
something in the storyline is gonna play directly towards the soul system hasn't
been so far yes you can go and do missions I think about it your insult
it's a bit of a hole to be honest the station's don't stock a hell of a lot
it's not that sort of shrank angrily that you didn't imagine it to be or in
my case it hasn't been I haven't been there for quite some time I have to say
I've been out doing other more interesting stuff with a nearly
dangerous galaxy but if that's your thing if you won't go and fly past earth
do that pilgrimage go to all the stations fly past Mars perhaps even go
and find the voyage of one probe that's included within the game and I'll do a
video on that a little bit later on how to find that then then you can but that
access of the soul system is indeed flagged down to whatever federal rank
you get and that is midshipman now I'm actually petty officer now I've gotten
past the midshipman phase and that's fine by me
I've got to build more reputation and get myself to the next level so a few
changes have also been made as well by elite dangerous and frontier with the
3.03 update quite a few things have been
modified in change within the game so check out my video on that that came out
earlier on in the week also skimmer missions have been throttled back so
that was a good way of getting reputation and ranking and also gaining
some additional materials not to mention a bucket load of cash
well that's being throttled back along with passenger missions have been
throttled back and whatever other exploit you can find right they've
throttled them all back which for a contentious point of view you
could say hey it's a bad thing I just want to play the game on and get the
nice grizzy ships I don't want to invest all my life in play in this game or hey
you know I don't know what to do show me a quick way of getting money it all
depends which side of the fence you Germany come down on the RAM tar
missions are being fixed as well with the Guardians and the Guardian weaponry
there's quite a few tweaks out there and also some tweaks to the kill warrant
scanner but all that aside the game is evolving and I think we have to evolve
with the game not only through doing the missions and the ranking whatever if you
want to invest some time in the game and get the most out of it
then you really have got to spend the time the get rich rich quick schemes
unless you've got a constant form of revenue coming in and you know how to
play it all it is a quick fix you're gonna have people who are harmless
bombing around in cutters and and what-have-you you know it's ridiculous
and they've got no idea on how to play it I'm not here to tell you how to play
and what you should be doing it's my own personal point of view hey I think you
should go through the steps you'll get more out of the game and you really will
see what the game has to offer a bit like doing explorations well really
anyway I've been Ricardo and this has been reboot and restart thanks very much
