'''Combat''' is one of the three archetypal pilot [[roles]] recognized by the [[Pilots Federation]]. Combat encompasses multiple sub-roles, such as [[Assassin]], [[Bounty Hunter]], [[Mercenary]], and [[Pirate]]. Increasing Combat rank requires destroying other [[Ships]], and defeating pilots with higher Combat ranks rewards a greater amount of experience. Combat pilots use [[Hardpoint]]s equipped with weapons to disable a target's shield, and then deal damage to the hull until the target is destroyed. Combat can be experienced alone, in a [[Wings|Wing]], or in [[Multicrew]].

Within '''Combat''' there are multiple roles a commander can take, such as [[Assassin]], [[Mercenary]] and [[Bounty Hunter]]. To increase one's combat rank, one needs to kill other [[Ships]], where killing higher-ranked pilots increases your rank faster. Combat uses  [[Hardpoint|Hardpoints]] to disable a target shield, and then deal damage to the hull and destroy the targeted ship. Combat can be in a [[Wings|Wing]], by oneself, or in [[Multicrew]]. The combat rank is what is seen when selecting an NPC or CMDR, and when other CMDRs select you.

Template:RoleInfobox Combat is one of the three archetypal pilot roles recognized by the Pilots Federation. Combat encompasses multiple sub-roles, such as Assassin, Bounty Hunter, Mercenary, and Pirate. Increasing Combat rank requires destroying other Ships, and defeating pilots with higher Combat ranks rewards a greater amount of experience. Combat pilots use Hardpoints equipped with weapons to disable a target's shield, and then deal damage to the hull until the target is destroyed. Combat can be experienced alone, in a Wing, or in Multicrew.

Template:Quote This table is the current data of what experience points you earn for killing target ships with certain ranks.

Elite 3 2.75 2.50 2.25 2.00 1.75 1.50 1.25

Notes

  • It takes approximately 2225 experience points to go from Deadly to Elite combat ranking. This equals 1780 Elite kills, or approximately 2400 kills based on a more average distribution of ships.[2]
  • If a player has crew members (including AI crew members), combat experience points will be split amongst them. The exact split is unknown, though having one AI crew member roughly halves the experience points gained, doubling the number of kills required in order to rank up.
