Yup, Comet is exactly right. For your current focus of gaining combat rank, going to a CNB and seeking out Deadly and Elite NPC's to kill is your best bet.
Thank you both for the help, if I had known about the CNB's I'd be Elite a long time ago. Took me only a few hours to get the last 11% in my FDL killing only Elite & Deadly enemies. For anyone else who have read countless threads about how to get the most amount of points towards combat ranks that includes enemy ranks, enemy ships, your ship etc. Ignore it all and only focus on enemy rank. And ofcorse CNB seems to be THE place for em. Cheers again o7

I have been "competent for over a year now, just not doing much combat besides killing the harmless interdictors i get on a regular basis.. was at like 18%..
When i joined Mobius a few days ago, i had a go at Hazres with a fellow Cmdr and went straight to over 80% on my rank in just a few visits, just because of how high ranked the targets were
(It also shows that those high rank gankers actually get no benefit at all from killing new players)

I spend ages this last month getting from Expert 20% to Master in a HazRes, but this morning gained 5% in just an hour. Only taking on Elite and Deadly ships and nothing larger than a Python/FDL, while ignoring wings, I still had a steady flow of targets. Top tip people.
