You and are are working on the same thing! I'm currently 80% dangerous but it's taking quite a while to move up one percent. Good luck cmdr

As mentioned in other threads: If you want to grind combat rank, use a compromised nav beacon instead of a RES site. The only thing that counts for the combat promotion is the rank of the NPC you kill, not the ship size. An elite sidewinder is worth just as much as an elite anaconda when it comes to grinding combat rank.

I like the green things flying around. Sometimes I miss out on a big bounty but saves me millions in rebuys. I can't take on any FAS or bigger by myself yet, even in the fdl.

Exactly: No cops, no rocks, no ice cubes, only a constant stream of deadly/elite NPCs in the smaller ships. Most of the time, you are dealing with Cobra III/IV, Viper III/IV, DBX, AspX, and similar. Only maybe one target in 20 is an Anaconda, Python, FDL, or FAS. Which is exactly what you want if you are grinding combat rank.
