How do I get faction ships?
I'm playing Elite: Dangerous and doing my best to do the missions (Mining is literally the worst). I get that there's a reputation section that shows how much a faction likes you, but I'm not sure how to determine what rank I am. This is irrelevant if I have no idea how to GET that rank, so this leads me to my question.
How do I get the Imperial/Federation ships in Elite: Dangerous?

At Imperial/Federation stations, there are often missions that instead of providing money, provide rank advancement.
To get these missions to show up, just play major faction oriented missions to gain reputation with that faction (Minor factions are irrelevant at this point). Eventually some missions will show up. They can even show up at independent stations, just wherever faction missions are available.
Then your faction rank will show up under your reputation tab.
Beware than gaining these ranks can be a bit of a grind if you want to get the higher end ships such as the Federal Corvette, or the imperial cutter.
