1. Kessel
2. Tier 4 CorSec outside Dathomir Station (only 1 aggro at a time, relatively easy kills, decent loot)

Takes me 4 days to level an ace pilot, if I do it half-heartedly. An eternity.


From 3333, you should be doing your trainer's duty missions. One destroy duty mission (the ones from the Vortex Squadron trainer in Dearic in the Theater are the easiest, mostly squib TIEs with no shields) will take approximately 45 to 90 mins to complete, and will net you somewhere in the range of 1 million XP, and about 250,000 credits after selling off the junk loot to the dealer. TIEs also drop a lot of valuable level 8 engines and are a pretty good source for level 7 guns. Keep an eye out for those.


Every million xp, you'll train a box and get a story mission. After completing the story mission, do another duty. Upgrade your ship any way you can at each juncture, and make sure you're running all the primary droid commands.


It's really about that easy. Unless you know a Wookiee ace pilot who owes you a life debt or something, no ace is going to take you on an MP ship to grind a million xp per box. It literally would take an eternity. Load up an X-Wing with good gear and go blast TIEs. Duty missions are a good way to learn to fly in a low-risk evironment. If you have trouble doing the story missions, don't be afraid to ask an Ace to help. Most of them are ridiculously easy.


Good luck!

Finish off whichever Imp squadron you're with, especially if it's Inquisition (easier missions), but I'm not sure I'd bother with the destroy missions for XP. After you master one, you'll get double XP the second time around, so it's worth doing ... plus you'll get a NICE L7 reward gun, the Boltdriver.

The fastest way to grind Pilot (not that id say its a grind tbh, i quite enjoy it, unlike the Bh grind) is to just do it, no pissing around, no half heartedness, just go for it itll be over in no time at all, i grinded Black Epsilon my 2nd Sqrdn ) in a day, that and the Master pilot bonus helps

Endor is a nice place to grind for the earlier tiers. So is Lok. The Blacklight POI in Dantooine space is also good.
As for Kessel, I find the spawns there aren't consistent enough to grind on. It's great if you go in at T2 and kill a gunboat (mind at T2 its going to take a while to grind down a T5 Gb's shields and remember to fly at a 'tangent' beneath it, slightly behind.)


I hear Kashykk and those Mercenary cruisers gve good xp and are a regular spawn too, but I havn't tried another pilot profession for a while since I've been squeezing all that stuff in my A-wing.

Endor is ok, but theres a lot of Tier4's who will tear you up quick Kashyyk space is ok if you can find a Spawn that isnt camped (Chimeara im on) when i get to4333 i tend to lurk in Kessel, by then ive got the loadout i wantso im comfortable with what i can do.

Leaph, the day you give up rebel pilot to try something else, let alone unass that Awing, is surely by now, one of the signs of the comming of armagedddon.

They day you say to me, youve done either, i shall be looking out the window to see if its raining fire, or if dogs and cats are living together.

I've flown Imp a fair bit now. I'm really tempted to try a standard Squint again one day. That'd be with my alt though. Actually no. The Vaksai and Syck look amusing. I thik the Syck looks kind of dodgy and it is a little big, granted but worth a shot.
However yeh, I do like my A-wing.
