Preface on leveling up Piloting in the game Starfield.

Hello, dear space explorers! You’ve probably already encountered difficulties in choosing and managing your favorite starship. The fact is that in Starfield, ships are divided into classes that emphasize their characteristics. In total there are three classes of ships “A”, “B” and “C”, all ships with different characteristics, sizes and price ranges. To be able to control a ship of the best class, you need to level up and upgrade your “Piloting” skill.

To improve your Piloting skill, you will have to fight enemy ships. The more ships you managed to defeat, the higher the hero’s rank. But not everything is so simple and a lot depends on the player. If you play in peaceful mode and fly in corporation zones, it is unlikely that you will be able to recruit about 50 enemy ships in a short period of time to be able to fly on class “C” ships. Of course, at the early stage of the game such large ships will probably not be needed and it will be difficult to buy them due to the lack of credits. But, as you progress, achieving at least class “B” will be very important. Since this moment will significantly speed up the passage of the game and bring a lot of pleasure.

Ways to increase your Piloting skill in the game Starfield.

2. Where to find pirate ships.

The first pirates in outer space can be met after leaving the first planet. But, there are enough of them to immediately upgrade your “Piloting” skill. Probably the easiest way to encounter pirate ships is entirely based on completing story missions. And such a moment will probably not be the fastest in terms of developing an important skill. But the existing ship is quite capable of dealing with them in battle.

Another interesting way of finding enemy pirate ships is based on obtaining information from allied or neutral ships that we meet along the way. In this case, you can go to the desired location of the pirates and try to deal with them. In this case, the chances of winning will not be very high, but you can cope. The number of ships located on an ally’s tip will also not be large, which will not allow you to pump up all the levels of “Piloting” at once.

The third way to search for pirates is to explore remote territories and systems not controlled by corporations. This method will be the most difficult and can bring defeat to the ship. In addition, you will also have to spend a lot of time moving and exploring. At the same time, all pirate ships appear in a random order and a guaranteed meeting may not occur. If you decide to go in search of pirates, you will first have to upgrade your star ship well in order to successfully repel attacks, and for this you will have to spend a lot of time. Therefore, the proposed method below will be the most suitable for leveling up the “Piloting” skill.

1. Join the corporation and learn.

The New Atlantic corporations have a special place for training their members and fighters, located in the office of Mast, or the Vanguard faction. Since the corporation is interested in experienced pilots, they offer the opportunity to improve their skills in controlling spaceships. You can join any of the listed factions, citing your own discretion. Since the training technology is the same and they give exactly the same amount of experience for passing waves.

To do this, you must first join their ranks, and then go to the training building. There will be quite a lot of enemy ships on the training course, and the control and battle itself is identical to real battles. The difference is that in the case of training in training corps, we do not lose credits for repairing our ship, we save time on pumping and remove the difficulty of finding suitable opponents. The entire leveling of “Piloting”, up to level 4, can take from several minutes to several hours. It all depends on your skill in controlling the ship.

In total, there are 6 waves of opponents in the training building, with increasing difficulties. Wave 6 is considered the most difficult, as you have to spend quite a lot of time on it. But in order to speed up gaining experience, you need to reach waves 3 – 4 and restart the training simulator. This point will make battles in training missions much easier. By completing all 6 waves you can earn a good amount of credits.

Tips for gaining space experience in simulators, in the game Starfield.

• Gaining an advantage on the battlefield.

Our hero can get up from the helm right during the training and we need to take advantage of this moment. On board the ship, near the entrance to the helm, on the wall, there is a laptop. You need to go up and turn on such a computer, it has many interesting points, the activation of which gives additional bonuses. Such bonuses provide increased damage, improved shields, and the summoning of one partner to fight opponents.

Bonuses only work for one battle level in the simulator. You can fix the restriction in several ways, by hacking the laptop, directly in the interface, or by getting a special “Admin Card” card. After hacking, all bonuses will apply to all 6 waves and another ally will be added to fight on your side.

In the second case, you need to get the “Admin Card”, which is located on the toolbox in the area of the training modules. It will be very useful if the hero does not have the necessary hacking experience and master keys. By using the “Admin Card” you can get all the same bonuses that you get by hacking a laptop.

• Recovery on the battlefield.

When fighting against strong opponents, starting from wave 3, our ship’s shields can quickly deplete, and as a result we can be defeated. The simulators have a very interesting feature: during a battle you can stand up from the helm. After our hero gets up from the helm, the opponents stop shooting. You can take a break for a while, and then sit back at the helm of the ship. In this case, our ship will automatically replenish the entire shield scale and we can begin to continue the battle.

• Increased combat effectiveness.

During the battle with the enemy, you need to fly into the territory of the orbital station. Stand in the middle and turn the steering wheel. After this, all opponents begin to crash into this orbital station and lose strength points. After some time, you need to take the helm again and continue fighting with enemies. Partially damaged enemy ships can be fired faster. Thus, the speed of passage of the waves noticeably accelerates.

• Upgrade your skill on time.

When playing in a simulator, you can get a little carried away and not take into account the experience gained, which can waste extra precious time. The fact is that experience for completing training in a piloting simulator is awarded only for one pumping point. That is, if such a leveling up point is obtained in a piloting simulator, then further ships will not be taken into account towards leveling up the skill. Therefore, it is advisable from time to time to pay attention to the experience gained and exit the simulator in order to upgrade the “Piloting” skill. After spending a pumping point, you can return to the simulator and continue pumping.
