After nearly three years, my beloved SLF pilot has come back from the dead.

February 11, 3304 - During routine jump boosting in my Federal Corvette, I became ensnared in a particularly tricky white dwarf jet. Despite my best efforts, I could not get the ship to escape. The ship was destroyed, but it was not the only casualty. My favorite SLF pilot, Misty Coffey, was also on board at the time. She was not as lucky as I was, and was lost to the void.

January 19, 3307 - While preparing to head out for today's excursion, I decided to peek at the pilots seeking employment at the local starport. After cycling through a few names, a familiar name and face appeared. To my shock, Misty was not dead, but alive, well, and back in the pilot's game.

What happened to her, I do not know. Why she didn't reach out to me and re-establish contact, I do not know. Maybe she suffered amnesia? It might explain her combat ranking demotion to Harmless.
Whatever the case, I look forward to traversing the big black with my trusty, dear friend once again.

(Frontier, please don't change this - I'm assuming these character generations are not 100% random and that's fine. I really love the dramatic story this initially unremarkable gameplay event became.)
 
Beautiful story. Glad you were able to get reacquainted with your long lost pilot even though she probably doesn't remember you. Stories like this won't happen any more in recent times though as NPC pilots now survive ship destructions.

Oh wow, somehow I missed that change being made. I'm happy to hear that's the case, though, thanks for making me aware!

Tleilaxu Ghola!
Some work might need doing on those genetic memories...

It would seem you do have to pay a little extra at the rebuy screen if you want to keep them though:

I would not hire her again. She kinda lost her hand at piloting as the years passed.
Not to mention she might hold some grudges...
