Progression and Strategy[]
Piloting is not difficult to level. Quest boards can be used to seek out instances of space combat.
The first two levels of Piloting are useful immediately. However, the primary value of Piloting is the ability to pilot some very large ships, later on in the game. So, the payoff for maxing out Piloting is slow, but potentially very strong. These larger ships can mount more powerful parts and attachments than normal sized ships. As late-game space enemies can be very hard hitting, the player will likely need to look into piloting at some point in the game. Piloting isn't necessarily an early game must-have, but it is almost certainly a late game must-have.
Ships destroyed in flight simulator somehow counts to this challenge making it a fastest way to max out Piloting fast.
