If it really takes 20 Elite kills to get one percent of the rank from Deadly, then that means you need to kill an average of 3,334 ships that are Expert or above. It would only take 2000 kills however if you keep finding Elite ships, or 2500 ships if you hunt at Checkpoints like I do, where there's usually a bunch of ships waiting to fight and only attacking you one at a time, with ranks ranging from Dangerous to Elite with Elite being like 80% of them. If you want to take it slow and not put on much pressure, this is the way to do it :)
