NPC SLF Elite Pilot Leveling Bug Workaround?

Screenshot 2022-04-15 195417.jpg

I didn't think this bug was still a thing.

She won't go to elite.

Is anyone aware of a work around?
 
I kept playing and playing, my NPC pilot didn't get to Elite, and then one day recently, YEARS after they reached Deadly... They just popped. Over to Elite. No idea why.
 
switch to horizons.

If it means anything, I have been triple elite for many years
yet to this day, almost every time I kill in conflicts, I get several PF promotion to ELITE at the end of the conflict.
A certain system currently has this happening for me several times a day, again after every conflict is won.
email is quite flakey in-game, these are probably yours.

Nothing changes as I have already got and have had the icon for years.
Do I ever have a lot of messages from the PF regarding it though....

my slf pilots still get new notifications too..they deserve it I suppose..
 
It's a visual glitch. I did the experiment myself. If you log in horizon, you see the progress normally.
Do to the test, log in horizon, check the %.
Go and play in Odyssey with the pilot enough so that it gets some progress.
Go back to horizon and check the % again. You'll see it moved.

Progress is tracked, but the bar doesn't move in Odyssey. It works in Horizon. It's just very slow, but that was always the case.
 
Congratulations, now you pay 1% more without a noticeable difference in skill level.
This is my second Elite pilot. Credits are so easy I've given myself a 20% nerf. I'm holding out hope for SLF pilots on the bridge - I really want Chaparral's Angel's :)

That would be so awesome - our crew available in the bridge to interact with and even sending them to do stuff with our extra ships. Though the first step is to at least make them appear on the chairs like physical multi-crew.

Money is really not a big deal.

The constant 50% penalty on combat rank xp for the player as long as the NPC is out is however. It's already a crazy grind, and it make it even crazier. I'm elite 5 trade, elite 2 exploration, and I had to grind the combat rank to unlock the engineer Jameson because I love SLF and always have the penalty. So my rank barely moved.


And it's not like they pull half the work a player can do. It's totally silly.
