Obviously you get rank pijnts when you level up, and ive also gotten some for mission rewards, but is there any other way to get them...??

I don't know about getting them for mission rewards, but you can get 2 from the Daily Reward once in a while and get 3 from the Rescued Prisoners artifact, which you can get from the artifact draw.

At least two kinds of NPCs drop prisoners (Ambushers and Prisons).

dont forget ship bots...

Shouldn't forget the Android Helmsmen or Scientists either.

EDIT: Or the Tesseract Container or Mass Storage Pod, for that matter.

true. ive gotten around 17 android scientists... definitly happy about that one. i wish i got as many tesseract containers tho. only gotten 6 of those.

Yeah, whenever I start worrying about space I save up for a couple Mass Storage Pods, they're less cost efficient but going after Tesseract Containers ends up filling my cargo with other artifacts even more, which is my problem right now.

whats ur ap/h? im only pulling in a bit over 1000.

I have 2514 AP/h right now, so I just have to leave a little in and then go to bed and I should get a Mass Storage Pod if I need one.

Ship bots, crew bots, tes containers and MSP arnt realy rank points, they might serve a similar function but obviously are very specialized. Currently the only way to get rank points are from leveling, daily reward, and prisoners. You can get prisoners from either the artifact draws or from 2 different types of NPCs. This tends to get a little more important later on after you have a few hundred levels under you belt as the demand for decks become much less and you can afford to start putting rank points into other areas such as crew.

This is by far the best answer, thanks.

You also have a 1 in 10 chance of getting 5 rank points if you spin the Galaxy Wheel.
