Every journey has a beginning. The basic rank for those who were able to read the rules. For security purposes, members of this rank have some posting limitations and cannot join the in-game squadron.

Do not ping anyone to review your submission, it will be processed when possible. If your submission was not processed within 48 hours, you are allowed to contact a staff member about it.
The proof has to be a screenshot, or a video, and has to clearly show the interceptor death explosion, the "bond received" message and other parts of ship UI such as the Ship Health and Radar.
Below are descriptions and requirements of the main progression ranks, which require you to not receive any help from NPCs or players not in your wing, and as such cannot be achieved in AX Conflict Zones. Use of a Ship Launched Fighter piloted by NPC is permitted. When applying for a solo rank you must not be in a wing.
Use of any bugs, exploits, cheats or other methods of killing the interceptor in an unintended way (including gibbing) is forbidden, and such submissions will be rejected.
Weapons listed below are not valid for rank submissions, this is due to balance issues or the weapons being no longer available to obtain. Salvation modified gauss cannons 'Hammergauss' are only allowed if proof of basic ammo usage is provided. Standard and premium ammo is bugged, and therefore prohibited.
In the event of a pilot getting the kill but dying in the process, a kill is valid for a rank only if the Interceptor explodes before your ship does. This does not apply to timed runs.
Speed runs are timed using the in-game clock. Timer starts at the first shot fired and ends when the bond popup occurs. As such, the in-game clock must be visible when the first shot it fired, as well as when the bond pops up.
HUD must be turned off or external camera enabled before the first shot is fired, and it must remain that way until after the Interceptor has exploded. Bond popup and Ship Radar are not required for this rank.
When submitting a proof for a wing kill, make sure to @ping all of the other participants in tea-and-medals. Multi-Crew DOES count for wing ranks.
All Duo Rank submissions must show both participants are actively inside the instance when the Interceptor dies.
