How can this be intended to drop piolt and be a NEG 165000+? I have read that CSR have reset others to 0. Why am i being told they wont and this is as intended?

This is just wrong..i am to be in a newbee piolt ship and get 100 exp per kill and work off all that? Crazy..guess my space playing is over

It's a known bug. If you have an inspiration buff when you drop pilot, that 10% bonus gets applied while removing pilot XP.

As to why the CSR's won't help, that's because SOE has the worst customer service I have every seen anywhere.

.... and I work in customer service....

i worked in customer service for other computer maufacuters,and to let you know the csr is not at fault for the most part for these problems it is management.


management puts such a strick policy on the csr's that the are not alowed to do much. Then the csr get lazy and then dont even bother to read the letter fully because they have to get their 200 csr letters done for the day. Or they half read it and get it half rightbut since they cant do anything things like this happen.


So i am not saying the csr are not totaly blameless but some can be because of attitudes and so on. Now this statement is not directed at soe but in csr andmanagement in a whole.


edit: ya the best bet is to try again and hope you get a csr that cares and move on. There are csr's that care and will try you just have to find them.

From the knowledge tool




NEW- [Negative Space Combat and Prestige Experience Points] -NEW-
In cases where a player leaves their pilot profession, either through surrendering their faction, or simple revoking their profession, if they are currently under an Inspiration Buff, they will lose an additional 10% of all accumulated Space Combat and Prestige experience points. In almost all cases, this will put them into negative values for these totals. Please make sure that you are not under the effects of an Inspiration Buff when attempting to surrender your pilot skills or faction. If you have been affected by this matter, please submit an in-game customer service ticket, and we will attempt to correct the issue as soon as we are available to do so.

Odd, I thought you could place a ticket based on the Holo search? Maybe reference the Holo ID in the ticket itself. Try something like:


"I accidentally dropped my pilot skills while under an inspiration buff. The holo database indicates that this issue can be resolved. If you could please reset my Pilot Experience to 0XP to resolve this issue. If you have any questions about this is the new holo article I am referring to:
<insert msg from below>

Thank you for your time!"


And then just keep submitting this again, and again until they resolve the issue.

Great opportunity here to try something!


If you have a profession with negitive exp, drop it, and pick it up again. It might drop all exp you have (even negitive), maybe. It's certainly worth trying. Make sure you do not have an inspiration buff, not sure what that would do.

Funny, but when I read that I get the idea that negative xp is not intended. Otherwise why would they offer to correct something that is intended? Sounds to me like they'll start fixing this issue then they have the means to do so, perhaps there is no tool set in place to allow a CSR to change someone's xp, after all when was it everneeded before this bug?

There have been some CSRs that were able to fix this issue right from the beginning, so I don't buy the Lack of a tool explanation.


I do like the idea of dropping Novice pilot again and getting it again (while not inspired) if you've been bit by this bug. I hope that works for someone. it seems like a clever workaround. *kudos* alyris
