Tier 3 is trained by running missions.

Each box is trained after a mission. you will keep what xp you have. you are probably maxed at 1 mil xp right? you will still have that once you finish tier 3 and can use it for the first tier 4 box.

But as the first reply stated, you do missions to get training for tier 3.

Do the missions until you get trained.
That's how you do tier 3. I forget exactly how many are involved.

Pilot xps work differently. when you begin a tier the cap is a single box. Once you have a box, the cap becomes a single box for the next tier.

The XP just won't accumulate for the first Tier 3 mission, once you train to a single Tier 3 box, your cap will be 1 million. Oh, and you'll train AFTER mission completion.

Welcome to Storm Squadron. Congratulations, you blindly picked the hardest squadron in the game for your first. This will likely be a fairly painful experience for you.

Denner won't train you until you finish his missions. That's the kind of hard nose guy he is. So here's what you want to do:

1. If you have the money, invest in a Heavy TIE Fighter.
2. Load up the best equipment you can find. Shields, engine, and gun should be your highest priority.
3. Get friends. The first time through is so much easier with them.
4. When you get through this, resist the urge to get your new ship box. Equipment III or Astromech III will serve you much better.
5. When you get Astromech III, go out and buy a v4 Flight Computer immediately. Also buy chips for Reactor Overload 3, Capacitor Overcharge 3, and Capacitor to Shield Shunt 4. Load Engine Overload 3 and Weapon Overload 3 into it from your own list, as well as those three programs. Run all of them buy Cap to Shield Shunt before starting ANY mission. They make a major difference. Cap to Shield Shunt dumps your capacitor energy into your shields, recharging them in battle.

Good luck with the missions.

This is freaking ridiculous! I am doing a mission, and as soon as I finish it, I get slapped with another one. I don't have time to rest or go back and train or anything. I thought after each mission you get training, but instead it just gives me another mission here in Endor IMMEDIATELY. This is BS.

I already died and never once from the MISSION SHIPS, but from STUPIDTIER 4 PIRATES that just happen to be "nearby" and attack me because I fly too close to them. They aren't even part of the mission and I die because of them.

This is bullcrap. If you are on a mission, you should have to fight the mission ships and thats it. Why does it keep giving me mission after mission?

The only thing I hate about JTL is the missions. I figured it would be great to just grind my way up, but now I have to do MISSIONS to get XP... that is the biggest load of crap i've ever heard.

Yeah. Sucks how we can't just mindlessly grind away like the ground game, right?

Yeah, you might be happier on the ground rather than dealing with this 'BS'.

Mind your mouth. Piloting is a fundamentally different design than any ground profession. Obviously you were fooled by the little boxes and similar appearance. There's no need to freak out about it, you're simply going through culture shock. Your missions are what is known as the exit mission for tier2and a training mission for tier3and they kinda have to come one right after the other. Please stick this bar of soap until you calm down.
