Who knows, if they did this, it make a few more sales of JTL for Sony.
Exactly what I was thinking, why not you can banke 7.5 Mil Perhaps even more Figher exp, I woudl be flying all the time then, much more enjoyable game for me right now. I detest being on the ground anymore.

True... but I wonder if that works very well for master pilots, I think as a master you xp faster alone than in group all hitting the same target once or twice... That said, that way of xp is great to reach master
I'm not master pilot yet, some masters should test if it's faster to group xp when alone or not... I doubt it's really faster but I can't revoke that argument yet...
Yes, even as a Master you get xp/prestige much faster in a group. We don't all focus on the same target unless we have to. But even when we have to "share" targets, tier 5's go down much faster with 2-3 pilots shooting atthem.
To give you an idea of how beneficial grouping is we've done the 30 Ties mission several times in less than 20 minutes.

This is one of the main reasons not many play JTL, they're either FS grinding, jedi grinding, or hunting jedi and feel that there's not time for space. Plus, many jedi in SW have become great pilots and force users simultaneously...
As for getting XP grouped, it still would not be as fast as using grenades because you have to hit that gunboat at least once(even if you're grouped, unless they've changed something in the past few weeks despite not listing it in any update notes) and not get killed by it or enemy starfighters. This is especially difficult when the gunboats are getting killed every few seconds and having friendly ships in your line of fire prevents you from hitting it at the safest angle(which is from behind where only one turret can hit you if it hasn't been destroyed yet). But from what I've seen, getting 1 mil XP in an hour is not realistic, because in farming Kessel for FP, I've only managed to make about 2k-3k in an hour, while 1 mil XP per hour would mean over 5k FP at the rate you gain it from enemy starfighters. So a small group might be necessary, just don't expect it to be as fast as grenades.
Plus, this might pursaude some others to get JTL

Because in space you get credit for all the kills by all the members of your group (at least that's how it works for Pilot Prestige).

Not having Starship XP and Prestige Points convert is absolutely Ridiculus. But 50:1 is quite a bit high, especially since it is not as easy to get as ground xp's.
Getting prestige is much easier than getting ground xp, as explained in my posts above.

Space xp does not come nearly as fast as ground xp. I can get 900k 2handed in 1-1.5 hours, and space is nowhere near that. I can also get 300k combat xp in 40-60mins. So i think 25 is good. but i will settle for anything.
