Pilot Levels
Abyssal Level (Transcendent Tier - Mythic)
- Description: Abyssal pilots exist as an imaginary concept only, representing an unattainable pinnacle of piloting potential. If pilots are to reach this level they would be able to single-handedly obliterate entire armies, defying the laws of physics and warfare. No one has ever reached this level.
- Promotion Requirements:
- ????

- Promotion Requirements:
- Piloting Hours: 600-1,500 hours of initial training and practice.
- Innate Talent: None Required About 15% of all Pilots
- Minimum Mech Synchronization Rate of 45%
To progress through the ranks, the time a pilot spends connected and in sync with his/her mech helps evolve their neural pathways, allowing them to bear a higher load and therefore connect to a higher tier mech. The higher the tier of a mech is, the higher the load the pilot's brain has to take when connecting and syncing to it.
