Your pilots have faces now
"Where are the people?" – one of the clearest things our testers said. Fleet Commander was always meant to be about the crew, so pilots are now people.
Who they are
Every pilot has a face, a call sign and one or two traits. Every trait has a strength and a weakness: a daredevil hits harder but dodges less, a tough pilot takes more punishment but fires a little slower, a fighter ace is brilliant in a fighter and worse anywhere else.
Who flies what
Free pilots take the ships they fit best. In the hangar, tap a pilot's face on a ship to pick someone else – the list shows exactly what each pilot would do in that very ship.
Growing with you
Everyone who flies in a battle gains experience, and every rank – cadet, ensign, lieutenant, commander, captain – adds a little damage and hull. Lieutenants earn the trait Veteran. Shot down? Your pilot goes to the infirmary and comes back. Pilots never die.

The end of a season: a fresh galaxy for everyone – and your pilots come along.
