Did you notice the good stuff the pilot trainer gave you?
see sig
I'm an ace, and i'll tell ya what... the grinding of the Tier 3 Merc Cruisers in Kashyyk space is an essential to getting thru the other 3 million xp for the other three boxes. You mentioned RE and i wanted to point out that by grinding the Merc Cruisers, ALL your looted components are lvl 6 & 7, which once RE'd are awesome for the low mass ships, in conjunction with the right droid programs,... anyhow, thats about it...
OH YEAH,... there is also the Vaksai quest from the Kashyyk station,... kick a$$ ship with high mass, even if it does only have one gun

Judging by the fact that the first post lauded his Advanced X-wing, I'm going to take a guess and say that the Vaksai wouldn't do him any good, and he likely couldn't do the mission, even if it would.
Sadly, space content is rather lacking. You have your advancement missions, and that's about it. There are a few quests here and there, but not many.
Oh, and I definately don't recomend grinding on the mercenaries in Kashyyyk. For one, they teach you absolutely nothing about being a pilot. For another, it's lame. Just grab a Tier 4 duty mission (especially if you're flying for Havok Squadron, since you have a chance of looting a Black Sun Ace helmet), it'll be much better for you in the long run. Alternately, just wander into Kessel and see how you do against Tier 5s. There are so much better things you can do than shoot down freighters that don't fire back.

Having killed the tier 3 mercenary cruisers for XP and having run tier 4 duty missions forXP, I can tell you with great certainty that the destroy duty missions are the faster way to grind XP. I killed the merc cruisers in Kashyyyk space for 300K XP. It was unbelievably BORING and not terribly efficient. Then I took a tier 4black sun duty mission (the rebel one from the guy in nyms hotel) and I was able to grind 600K XP in, get this, THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME.
The rate of XP gain is definitely faster with the destroy duty missions. As an additional bonus, no one else can kill the ships generated for your dutymission. The merc cruisers in Kashyyyk are killed by everyone, so getting XP or loot from them is kind ofa crap shoot.
I have a Vaksai and it stinks. It's fun to fly, but not fun to fight in. The guns (the beams)are too far apart (just like the heavy Z95). The ship would be much better if the guns were inboard of the engines. I am going to redeed mine and use the parts in my Alt's new heavy X-Wing. Now THAT is a ship.
