Pilot: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

Each pilot has an initial hiring cost and is paid a profit share of all player earnings during their employment, both of which are based upon the pilot's combat [[Pilots Federation#Rank|rank]]. The profit share includes all profits from commodity [[Trader|trades]], selling [[Explorer|exploration]] data, completing [[Mission Board|missions]], and redeeming [[Bounty Voucher|bounty]] and [[Combat Bond Voucher|combat]] vouchers.

In addition, NPC pilots take ~~an equal~~ share of the [[combat]] [[Ranks#Combat|rank]] experience earned from each kill they score any damaging hit on. As a ~~fighter is not likely to deal~~ an ~~average~~ of ~~half~~ the ~~damage done to targeted ships~~, ~~this has~~ a ~~significant potential~~ to ~~impede~~ the player~~'s progress up the ranks~~.

In addition, NPC pilots take a share of the [[combat]] [[Ranks#Combat|rank]] experience earned from each kill they score any damaging hit on. The percent of XP each NPC takes is dependent on their rank, where NPCs with lower combat rank than the player will take a greater percentage of the XP, an NPC with equal rank as the player will take exactly 50% of the combat experience, and an NPC with a higher rank than the player will take a smaller percent of the combat experience. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/6c5pfj/confirmed_using_npcs_hinder_combat_rank/dol9big/</ref> Elite NPCs still earn XP, so there is no way to completely stop an NPC participating in the combat taking a share of your experience. NPCs that do not actively participate in a kill do not take any combat XP away from the player. <ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/do-elite-npc-crew-members-still-take-half-your-combat-experience.385740/page-4#post-6179692</ref>
