And once you’re at Mies van der Rohe’s Claim, accept any Courier mission back to Ngalinn that you can find, jump back to Ngalinn, dock at Hickam Survey again and collect your rewards. All you have to do is accept the missions, make the very small 3.82 LY jump into the Mainani system and dock at “ Mies van der Rohe’s Claim” to collect your rewards. Many players agree, that one of the best ways to quickly gain ranks in the Imperial Navy is to run Courier Missions at Hickam Survey in the Ngalinn system, since they only require you to dock at the target location to complete them, require no cargo space in your ship, no special equipment and there are plenty of them available.

What’s the best way to quickly climb the ranks of the Imperial Navy? A player does not have to decide between Empire and Federation, and can earn ranks and reputation for any one of the two without repercussions or being locked out by the other. The Imperial Cutter unlocks at rank 12 (Duke). There are a total of 15 available ranks, from 0 (None) to 14 (King). After you have accepted and successfully completed the mission, you will be promoted to the next higher rank in the Imperial Navy and you will have to fill your meter to 100% again before you’re offered the next promotion opportunity. So if you don’t accept the mission right away, there is a chance it will have disappeared when you open the mission board at a later point. Note that these missions are handed out at random, once you’ve met the requirement for it.
