From Novice to Ace - A pilot's guide : Star Wars Galaxies Nerfed Info

It's a guide, by the way. I just discovered these spots yesterday and man it helped great!

The pilot trainers:
Rebel
Havok Squad: Captain Kreezo. Located on Tyrena, Corellia. WP -5177 -2281.
Vortex Squad: V3-FX. Located on Moenia, Naboo. WP 4765 -4798.
Crimson Phoenix Squad: Commander Da'la Socuna. Located on Mos Espa, Tatooine. Back of the cantina, WP -3000 2202.

Imperial
Imperial Inquisition: Lt. Barn Sinkko. Located on Kaadara, Naboo. WP 5204 6728.
Storm Squadron (Note: believed to be the hardest squad in the game.) Lt. Akal Colzet. Located on Bestine, Tatooine. WP -1110 -3514.
Black Epsilon: Hakasha Sireen. Located on Imperial Outpost, Talus. WP -2183 2259.

Freelance
Smuggler's Alliance: Dravis. Located on Mos Eisley, Tatooine. WP 3429 -4788. (This squad is lightly Rebel-aligned because in the end for your Ace mission you will destroy an Imperial corvette.)
RSF Squadron: Captain Dinge. Located on Theed, Naboo, WP -5497 4575. (This squad is heavily Imperial-aligned. As an RSF pilot, you will not be able to harm Imperial ships. Also, your last mission is to destroy a Rebel corvette.)
CorSec Squadron: Sergeant Rhea. Located on Coronet, Corellia. WP -275 -4730.

How to Get the Skills:
Tier 1: grinding XP and missions
Tier 2: grinding XP and missions
Tier 3: missions
Tier 4: grinding XP and missions

Each "tier" represents every 4 boxes earned after Novice. When you have 1-4 boxes (not including novice) you will be considered Tier 1. 5-8 boxes is considered Tier 2. 9-12 boxes is considered Tier 3. 13-16 boxes is considered Tier 4, and the next thing is master.

BIG NOTE HERE: Once you train to your 16th box (ready to be Ace) XP DOES NOT MATTER. All you have to do is do the ace missions. You don't have to get any XP. Once you do the ace missions, you will be an ace pilot.

So first just do the mission your trainer gives you, then get some XP and then train. Get to tier 2. This tier is a very hard one. It's hard because it's hard to find spawns for XP and your ships aren't that great. I got out of it though, you can too! Just keep working on it and you'll be tier 3 before you know it. Tier 3 is one of my favorite tiers because it requires no XP grinding and the missions are nonetheless fun. All you have to do is possibly get a group and go up to do the missions. Tier 4, ugh, a lot of XP. 1 million points you need. I recommend where the Blackscales spawn in Kashyyyk space, just kill Blackscale Bombers for 4k points a pop. Master pilot you have to kill a Corvette. It's not as hard as it seems. Just get a nice-sized group to go up to Kessel with you and make sure to take out the Corvette's weapon systems, and if you can, take out the gunship escorts. Try to take out the gunboats because if you don't it lags the area and prevents the next one from spawning (it still thinks the Corvette is there because the gunboats are there.)

Oh, and to damage a subsystem of it, have it targeted and press either the [ or ] key.

I hope this guide helps, happy flying and good luck getting Ace!

Most of it is directly from the official forum guide and as for the rest, there are already better guides in that same official forum guide, or posted here.

Sorry going to Mod Nay this.
