If you trade your s class ship to a pilot on the station and then recruit him to your squadron, he'll take off and land again a minute later, you can reclaim your ship and give it to a different race and repeat
Nice to have s class ships with s class pilots. Their class can change when given the ship depends on system. Worked 4 out of 5 trys, if the hanger fills up he won't come back
From my testing, no. I tried removing the photon cannon off of a ship with save editor and only giving a it maxed out s class upgrades with the positron ejector but the pilot still used the photon cannon. That was a few updates ago though so it may have changed now.
I just started the video And I notice you're building a squadron of exotics. I'm doing the same thing. I came across a video About a week ago That talked about how To trade ships with good pilots and then recruit them. I'm going to give it a try today. I'll let you know how it goes.
Get all four slots he saya casually, I don’t see me ever earning enough to do that, the proces are just crazy! However, I’ll plug on with the Expedition and hope for the best. Great advice about getting the pilots though Ill use that. Many thanks.
@@Colmatt It wasnt meant as criticism more of my own ineptitude and confusion about how to make enough nanites! i’m a NMS noob so dont have it all sorted yet!
@@NannyOggins You’re good I didn’t think you were criticizing! If you need help getting the nanites though I have a guide on it th-cam.com/video/3pOAk46ASnI/w-d-xo.html .
I just recruited an S class pilot flying a Solar ship on my Freighter in a pirate system.I looked a three more pilots flying Solar ship, two were S class pilots and the third was an A class pilot. I could not recruit a pilot at the pirate space station.
They can be sometimes but I've had them finish off enemies i was fighting so they definitely help, if nothing else its cool to have the other ships flying with you.
you can recruit pirate pilots in an outlaw system, but you can't do it in the space station, you have to do it at a trading outpost
Ill have to give that a try then, that would make sense though because asue I haven’t tried on the outposts yet. Thanks for the tip!

Don't think I have any pilots at all so I will have to give this a try! Thanks BROTHA
Let me know if it ends up working for you as well, and Thanks for watching!
I don't understand the point of the squadron. Do you have to send them on missions like you do with frigates. What are they good for?
They are mainly there to help you with space combat, or at least in their current state. Hopefully they will add more uses for them in the future.
Does the weapon/technology or ship type affect how effective they are in your squadron or is it entirely dictated by the class of the ship and pilot?
From my testing, no. I tried removing the photon cannon off of a ship with save editor and only giving a it maxed out s class upgrades with the positron ejector but the pilot still used the photon cannon. That was a few updates ago though so it may have changed now.
You can recruit ships from your own freighter. That's how I did mine
That method works well, the problem for me was I have max ships, so I had no place for new pilots to land.

Yeah looking back i should have worded that differently lol. Thanks for Watching!

That would make sense then, ive only tried in the space station and couldn't recruit.
nice one keep going o/
Thank you, Im glad you enjoyed!
squadron rank matters?
Sort of, they do more damage if they are higher class
No. There is no difference from S class or C class. I know they have different stats, but they don't actually help you in battle.
I look for S Class ships, and recruit those guys. All of them have Orange/Yellow stats.
Good point, because even if they aren’t s class pilots they can be upgraded and have even better stats.
How can u upgrade the pilot?
@@harpaxpt go to your freighter and you can upgrade the pilots on the command center next to the expedition guy. It cost a lot of nanites though
The squadron and their stats are useless. It's just for show. They don't actually do anything useful.
