Starfield Piloting Exam Tier 6

[SaltnVinegar]

How ??

Run around an asteroid and they shoot you through it.
Try to outrun them you just give them your big arse to plow.
Go head on and die in 2 seconds.

How ??

That's really really hard. Like you i can't finish with two ships + the cheat code when you hack the console in the simulation.

This rank is a real troll.

This is very very very hard, especially on a difficulty like "very hard". Not just "very hard", but very very very hard. The only way, after trying hours to do this legit, I was able to get this done was fly into the space station wreck, sit in the middle,, get aggro from the ships, as they fly towards you jump out of the seat. Once out of the seat you don't take damage. Then just watch as the ships keep crashing into the station and eventually die. If you lose aggro jump back in the seat, as soon as they come back, jump out.

To get in and our its just E on keyboard.

*edit: I think it is suppose to be this hard tho, major dark souls moment here.

Not all heroes wear capes. Best believe I exploited the ever-loving crap out of this.
Thank you, sir!

You could cheese it by setting the difficulty to very easy and then change it back to whatever you're using after you've cleared it, took me 2 attempts. Just press e on a single ship and focus the hell outta it then rinse and repeat for the others

[ケツデカピングー]

1. set to very easy difficulty
2. hack the panel at the back
3. use debug tool in that hacked panel
4.???
5. PROFIT

I didn't have any trouble with this, but I have noticed that MANY people do. I was level 18 when I finally did the quest and most of my points were in tech so I suppose that's why. On wave 1, AS SOON AS THE ENEMY SPAWNED, I immediately got out of my seat hacked the terminal's debug menu and selected everything. There was literally no challenge UNTIL tier 6. The first two waves the allies killed everything before I could even engage. If I had tried to do this questline when I first started the game I'm sure that would have been much tougher, but with pilot 3, shields 3, energy weapons 3, it wasn't bad.

I suppose an alternative would be to turn the difficulty way down, but I can understand why many people wouldn't want to do that.

TBH the issue I have with that simulator is that it leaves a pretty dire first impression of the ship combat. I've not had any particular success with flying evasive, redirecting power to various systems or anything like that, I just seems to be pew pew pew until you die or they do.

Given that there a a lot of games out there that do space combat in various ways (SW Squadrons, Battlefleet Gothic, Homeworld, FTL etc) and all of them do it better than Starfield seems to it's not a great look. Then again all manner of games do the ground based combat a lot better too...
