Just got this Achievement...not too bad...bout 6 retries.
Military Cadar Picky Beggar
Rocked about 12 -14 contracts (higher value and nothing more than 8AU away) buying records as I refilled the gas tank. Watched for a war between my faction and another. Stacked pilot to reduce fuel usage then Stacked tactics to make sure my missles hit their mark. As soon as I new I could take on ships that were a "little" bigger than me, I went and blockaded the rival in our war. Running from warships, but blowing up pirates of lower to equal, smugglers and merchants. Loot, enslave, rearm destroy. Made a couple trips to reduce my cargo and boost those ranks quickly. Made it with about .4 to spare LOL.
Now off to try Rapid Rank III (someone hit me in the head plz).

You only made it because you used torps like a true cadarian! Try to not use ANY other attack tactic and you will probably make it! (no it wont really work)

Well, you certainly had a thorough plan (unlike me). Continue to plan as thoroughly and you will probably breeze through RRIII (unlike me).

Ummm, not sure if this is a bug, or just my unlucky a$$.... Demanding, Cadar, Military, Picky Beggar. I have 57 rep with Cadar. However, all I can do is get military promotion to 2... I thought rep-> promotion every 9 rep.. so I should be able to get rank 6. date 61.36 ..
Cory, help?

Ok, I've tried a few more times. Both with Javat Explorer and Cadar Military Officer. No luck still. And to boot, I've had a similar issue with the Cadar promotions. 45 rep, could only get lvl 3 promotion.

I'd be happy with any help. I've now run in to this problem multiple times, where I have the rep to get the rank, but I can't promote in the palace
Overall, I've tried for this achievement probably at least 20 times in the last week or two (deleting char when i'm past the point of being able to get it). I have gotten it before on a previous phone, but the transfer between phones didn't work so now going through and redoing them all.

Maybe you don't have the money. Does the text in the palace talk about your rank and the price of the ceremony and uniform? If so and you have the money but promotion is still greyed out,maybe it is in fact a bug.
By the way, RR2 was one of the hardest achievements for me. I think RR3 is going to be impossible without a lot of luck with regards to conflicts.
Actually, that begs the question, are conflicts random or are there ways to influence or at least predict certain conflicts?

Alex Fury - as pointed out by chromeada, you may be lacking funds. Promotions can be mighty expensive. What is your credit bank say when you are attempting this? If you lack the credits, the button will be grayed out as if you don't have the rep.

Well, right now on the DV smuggler, I have about 8K money.. I think that should be enough for at least lvl 4.
Is there a chart anywhere for costs per promotion level?
EDIT/ADD Ok, looks like it might be money. I finally got to rank 4...
I do repeat, however, is there a chart or the like to show what the ranks cost? A ways back I paid attention, and I don't recall them being more than $2k or so per. Now it seems closer to $10k

Their cost increases as your rank does. Higher ranks start to cost a lot. When you go to the palace, read the text to the right. Im pretty sure it will give you the price even if you don't have enough money as long as your Rep is high enough. But I could be mistaken
Dunno about a chart. Try the wiki.

chromeada:
Ok, you are right. I'd been looking previous, and don't remember seeing it, but I made a point to check, and yes it does. Serious facepalm over here. My apologies to all.
EDIT/UPDATE
And color my face red. Tried once more, DV Military Officer. Made it with about 1 week to go.

Recently we updated the Palace description text to list the amount of money required for the Rank Promotion AND the player's bankroll. You should be able to detect a mismatch in the Palace text.
