Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

Hello,

What's the best way to rank up in the Federation? Is it still to do charity missions in Tun? Is there a Federation equivalent of all the Empire ground assault missions in Cubeo?

Charity missions, 17 Draconis also offer loads if you don't mind the trip to get there, also, handing over money in exchange for ranks somehow feels appropriately federation like.
