I just lost my pilot (only an expert) in a neutron star mix-up...
I'm more angry about the pilot loss than my ship / credits... And I'm seriously considering just hiring / firing pilots for jobs and gaming the system now!
My SLF Pilot is the reason I don't fight to the death or play too risky anymore. Losing 8mil? Ok, can do. 40+ hours of training? Hang me with a Nope Rope.
The current system punishes playing the game and rewards gaming the game.
