[bug] Hired NPC pilot rank does not increase when at 100 percent

Maybe it's the bar that's broken and we're only half way through or something?

Could be, although someone else said they had continued & seen no change. I'm doing a lot of combat atm so I'm not confident I could say this one ranked up too quickly but you could be right. I'm killing at least a hundred or so ships per day atm (just RES and normal CZs, no Thargoids).

I think you will get there at some point. My NPC crew member managed to reach Elite, as reported in one of my previous comments. It just takes quite a lot of time. I read somewhere it requires approximately the same kills count as when going from Harmless to Deadly. You just need to focus on Deadly and Elite pirates otherwise it takes ages.

Yeah that rank progression makes more sense than what I've seen, most other rank ups double the target with each level (so 0% deadly should be half-way there).

I'll keep this one for another couple of weeks, see if it gets there eventually.

Note the profit share is still only 9% though.

 

[Andy_Pipkin]

yeah should be 10%, if you've trained her up from Harmless.

Did you try to log in and out? The NPC of mine is at 10% after hitting elite.

Yep that fixed it:

So based on this it looks like it is 'just' a display bug.

Most of that NPCs earnings were from haz RES kills with a KWS, with a relatively small amount of human CZ work & some CNBs.


ETA any suggestions for other tests before I take on a new harmless one?

Thanks for testing this so extensively. I guess I'll just need to wait a while longer to confirm on my side.
