Yes, I apologise for implying that you were outright wrong, I'm no longer 100% sure of that. I was, before someone who I consider to know more than I, questioned it, and now I'm questioning everything I've ever believed! Is Brexit actually the right thing to do after all?

I know, my life has turned upside down! WHY IS MEREDITH SITTING IN MY SHIP TAKING MY MONEY BEING A NOVICE! :(

upgrading him will cost you quite alot money, the harmless ones scrap fighters like if they are in a crash test derby.
But the result is that they cost less % than a already maxed char. At leats if FD hasn't changed that.

I believe the crew has to at least take part in a kill to rank up.

My T-10 is kitted out in turrets to train up crew. I take the fighters, and leave the last couple % of hull to them.

Well I may have sold the Krait, but if this thread informs just one novice then all is well. :)

At 95% Deadly, I'm just not worried about what my pilots take.

I can already get into Shinrarta two different ways (Trade and Exploration), so one more isn't that big of a difference to me.
As for the decals, meh. I don't usually use them anyways, since we're limited to just 3.

I'll get to Elite combat when I get there, it's not like I'm really gaining anything anyways.

I am also watching this thread with interest.

I have been looking for something different to do. Maybe it's time I messed around with a crew and an SLF.

They will cut your xp in half simply by being active. To gain xp, they need to be flying either the SLF or mothership. They will gain no xp (But still take yours) if you fight without launching the SLF.

Also, use a fighter will gimbals until they are at least master.

I sacked my Elite good looking female NPC. Got sick of the mechanic behind them. She sapped hundreds of millions from me along with combat experience sitting in a virtual sock in every system I visited, all because FD think they know what's best for the players with their game mechanics.

No thanks to permadeath, either.

I will miss Aleah Knox. Unlike 98% of the monstrosities that show up with the procedural generation or whatever they use with them, she was pretty good looking and had a good smile.

Harmless pilots are the best to train up if tedious. They'll take about half the pay compared to hiring an EXPERT level pilot and be just as good if you put the time into them. That said SLF's kinda suck these days (especially for Thargoid content as it makes the swarm not chase you which is what you want for the remote FLAK launcher). Been toying with the idea of ripping out the fighter bays of all my ships that have one just cause it's wasted space at this point.

Definitely wrong. They only take your XP when deployed. Tested with a lot of Scouts lately ☝🏻
