Thread: Pilot prestige and Force sensitive progression.
The devs have stated that this is by design and there are no plans to convert prestige to FS.
Also, since space is a 'twitch' game, where player skill is supposed to have more influence on outcome than character skill, having Jedi bonuses in space wouldn't be sensible.
Further, Jedi skill involves slaughtering pigs, rats, and lizards, and singing hairs. Why should killing a thousand lizardrats or hairy pigs mean you should get additional abilities when you fly?
It's been brought out before, the usual response is along these lines:
<takes a mallet out of nowhere>
<pounds the idea into the ground>
really sad new.... i'm asking myself about what sort of use i can do with my 12 millions prestige points: nothing.
Sorry I can't support this at all.
It is not yet the facts on the ground?
well, seriously, i think there's a choice to be done concerning that prestige points.
On a wayit's not usefull so it's to be put out the game. Other way it's to be of use and we could have a choice to spend them as we wish to (buying ship components, new special habilities, or so on...). Master pilots are about deserting space from the point they are masters (but space fans).

I'm hoping they someday add something for us to spend prestige on. There is a really cool concept in the Shipwright forum for starship company themeparks (Incom, Sorosuub, etc) that would unlock the ability for SW's to buy schematics with prestige. Be nice if non-SW pilots could donate prestige to SW's if something like that was implemented.

I would like to know why pilot prestige not used in FS or Jedi experience progression.
As in movies there's a lot of references about force influence on piloting ships.
Second point: Why there's not a Jedi tree for piloting adjustments or skills, and is there any topic mentionning eventually a patch or modifications in the game in nearly futur.
If someone can give me an answer or simply discuss the subject.
Thanks
First point, I have had millions and millions of prestige run through my fingers, so soes everyone else, you could get your FS xp in a couple of days, no matter what the conversion ratio, so no way.
Second point, Go to the pilots forum and ask them about this, I am sure they will explain why this wouldnt work 
its because the xp is so easy to get, when you kill a tier 5 b wing i think you gett like 8k xp, then it would be so much easier to get jedi.
I hate trying to find a group constantly and the converting space xp to FS xp would be a great alternative. As for the concept of it being easier to get FS xp through space, simply tweak the conversion rate... offer 40/50:1
