Combat rank is earned through ship kills. Every ship destroyed rewards a number of experience points that contribute to increasing Combat rank, and the amount of experience points that a ship is worth depends on the pilot's rank relative to the rank of the targeted ship. For example, a pilot with the rank of Harmless who kills an Elite ship will gain a large number of points, but a pilot with the rank of Deadly who kills a ship with a rank lower than Expert will receive no points at all. Furthermore, a Deadly pilot who kills an Elite ship will receive fewer points than the Harmless pilot who kills an Elite ship. Under this system, low-ranked pilots can climb ranks faster by destroying challenging opponents and accepting the risk that entails.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/answers-from-the-devs-2.167367/ Frontier Forums: Answers from the devs #2]</ref><ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/answers-from-the-devs-3.171025/ Frontier Forums: Answers from the Devs #3]</ref> | Combat rank is earned through ship and ground combat kills.
