I just need to vent for a minute about the jump from Post Captain to Rear Admiral. Have been doing the Chakpa-Ochosi route, with some nearby systems sprinkled in when those two are light on courier jobs. From Chief Petty Officer up to Post Captain, jobs seemed to pay between 1-2% per chevron on the rewards page, progress felt nice and steady if not just a little boring. Now that I am a Post Captain, it seems to pay out about 0.5% per chevron. I get that the main reward for gaining rank is right here, but that difficulty shot up all at the last minute. A little boring has turned into a mind numbing slog
Thank the thargoids i already have over a billion credits and engineering mats all ready to spend. Out of all the ships I have bought and customized up, this is by far the hardest, and hopefully the most rewarding.
Thank you for listening to my short rant.
