Thread: gaining flying xp
Thanks. I don't mind fighting, just needed some direction on how to get it done a little better.
Iago
One thing to do is stay in a simple system like Tatoo or Naboo. Don't take a mission just find a spot that has 3-4 Tier1 fighters. Fly in and take care of them, but mark that spot with a waypoint, and hang out there. Shortly more will fly in. Repeat this a few times until you're getting the feel of things or you feel its boring you. Use your radar and ' to look around space and maybe find a new spot with a few more ships, or a single tier2 ship. This will help you get the feel for some things, without the increasing pressure of a mission or a steadily more difficult Duty mission.
Once you have the feel of your ship, then worry about upgrading. It's a simple/complex process, that can become all consuming, or you can do "just enough" for your needs. I recommend heading to the Pilot forum and reading the FAQ, and some of the supplemental materials about ship components. It's a complex subject and there's far more than I can cover in pages of text, so I'll just point you to the starting place, and say study a little and come back with more specific questions later.
Happy flying!

If you just need to grind xp go to the Dathimor system and kill Corsecs. They are tier 4 and wont agro you until you start firing.
The person is talking about having trouble with a newbie mission and you advise he chase down tier4 ships? lol

Although I'll agree some of them are waaay too long.
