How is the Elite Rating calculated?
The ‘Elite rating’ has nothing to do with how well you perform your duties. It’s just how many ships you’ve defeated. You start out as ‘Harmless’, and when you’ve destroyed 4 ships, you’re promoted to ‘Mostly Harmless’. Keep this up until you’re ‘Average’ or better still, ‘Competent’, and people on the bulletin boards trust you to do their high-paid tasks. I advise you to get ‘Competent’ as soon as possible, because the really neat missions are only given to Competents. Despite what the manual says, the Elite Rating is still determined purely on the number of kills you get. In case you’re wondering, 6000 kills will make you Elite.
