Custom start fleet pilots?

[SharkPlush]

The game lets me choose 3+star pilots increasing in cost for the budgeted custom start, but they're 1-star in game, why?

Each point in a skill is a third of a star. If you want to create 3-star pilots for a custom start, you need to give them 9 to 11 points in the piloting skill.

Also bear in mind that effective skill levels are a weighted average of skill and Morale, so you'll need to give your people some ranks in Morale as well if you want them to have a 3-star effective skill level for the purposes of behaviors.

Naturally it's advanced autotrade I'm after, thank you. The Morale part I was aware of, the other part I didn't understand. Although I'm still confused bc I feel like I have had 3 star pilots with less than 3 star morale autotrading

The budgeted start seems immensely OP, but it's kind of like refunding some of what I had without the xenon wiping out the argon part

I think moral only counts for 20% of the overall rating.

1) you get everything you have unlocked in any story mode

2) you can adjust everything to your likings and prefered playstyle

some player would start with good blueprints to build stations.
the next will start with the perfect playership for fighting... or whatever.

edit: you are not forced to take everything a budged or whatever custom start offer.
if you have a budged for 10 mio gold , you can only use a 3 mio chimera S ship and start.

Well, not much then but whatever you get for exploring most of the major factions.

I went with 2 ARG mining stations in Oort Cloud and Pluto, 4 Drill Sentinel miners, 1 explorer, and for myself a Katana. For knowledge all systems between there and Hatikvah's choice, and +25 rep with Terran because clearly they're better than the Argon *crosses arms* Some very basic blueprints, refined metal, storages, dock, 1 connector.
