Since many of us mugs are paying these npc's vast amounts of money, a percentage of our earnings, for loitering around space stations, surely we can mandate they spend that time honing their skills via simulators such as CQC? So for every week we spend away flying without them onboard they progress a percentage through their current combat rank. What value that percentage should be I dont know as it would need to be balanced, but I'm thinking that we've had NPC co /SLF pilots for 18 months now, and there is nine ranks of combat rating, and the max rank you can sign them on at is rank 5, so its four and a half months on full pay per rank, call it 5% progress through each per week?
