Ranks are earned by doing activities in the galaxy. The Pilots Federation ranks all pilots in combat, trade, exploration and CQC from harmless to elite. Additional ranks can be earned with the Federal Navy and Imperial Navy to gain special missions, ships and system permits.

There are 14 ranks in the Federal Navy. Highly ranked players are allowed access to special Federation missions and ships, and are granted permits to access restricted systems.
Imperial Navy Ranks

CQC Ranks
- Main article: CQC Championship
CQC Championship is a combat simulation made available by Utopixx Entertainment, a Federation company. By participating in CQC matches you gain experience to rank up. This can be used to unlock customizable loadouts. The max rank is 50. You also, separately, increase your Pilots Federation CQC rank.
Triple Elite
Triple Elite is when you're ranked Elite in three categories of the Pilots Federation: combat, trade and explorer. It's possible to get Triple Elite in a Sidewinder MkI without spending money on other ships. CMDR Peter Perfect achieved this and said:
"This must be the ultimate grind, but it wasn't so bad for me because I play mostly while I watch TV. The Sidewinder has a lot of advantages over other ships. It's speed is very useful for interdictions. I was interdicted by a lot of dangerous and elite ships, like federal Assault ship, but they couldn't land a shot. Only Eagles and elite Sidewinders were able to land anything at all - enough to do maybe 2% hull damage when I was shieldless. In the RES, ranking up for combat, hardly anyone shoots back, so that's not as bad as you think. It's worst attribute is the lack of module space, so you frequently need to change modules to adapt to the task in hand."[1]
