Not sure if this has been thought of before but I was kind of thinking wouldn't it be cool if we could join up with say Rogue Squadron or Gold Group? (Obviously I was thinking of this from a Rebel perspective but this could easily apply to privateer and Imp also).
This got me thinking that elite pilot professions could be introduced where you specialize in a particular ship type (ie for Rogue Squadron you would specialize in the X-Wing). The trees for these elite professions would provide you with specific abilities and bonuses while flying your specialized craft. Perhaps things like enhanced maneuverability and speed because you know your ship so well you can squeeze that little extra performance out of it. Maybe even a mass modifier giving you the ability to fit in some heftier components etc etc etc...
You could also get your squadrons insignia added to your jacket and helmet once you master the elite prof.
Obviously this would require the addition of even more dangerous top end NPC pilots to provide a challenge for the elite pilot...
Seemed like a nice idea to me anyway - what do you think?

I think it would be a cool addition. Kind of likea themepark in space maybe to get rated for your new squadron.

sounds cool specalising would be good cause it would mean people wouldnt just depend on master ships as they could learn to use a ship they liked to a higher level.

This is a very good idea. I did not have much ideas what an elite pilot profession should do, because we already have a lot of spacecrafts and so. But to select only one and specialize in a craft would be realy cool. And of course you should get a better version of the craft you select. For imperials that could be a 4-gun interceptor, an bomber with 6 missle slots, and such things
