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:

- ????

Omega Level (Top Tier - Unmatched)

- Description: Omega pilots are the highest echelon of real-world piloting mastery.

- Promotion Requirements:

- Piloting Hours: 45,000+ Mech Piloting hours in real-world or simulated environments.

- Innate Talent: Only attainable by those with Omega Level Potential

- Mental Stability: Must have the mental fortitude to survive the incredible strain of sustained combat at a level most humans cannot handle. About 0.0001% of All pilots.

- Synergy: Mech Synchronization Rate of 99-100%

Alpha Level (Elite Tier - Master)

- Description: Alpha pilots are the elite, often deployed for the most dangerous and critical missions.

- Promotion Requirements:

- Piloting Hours: 30,000-45,000 hours of experience in live or high-level combat simulations.

- Mech Synchronization Rate of 60-75%

Epsilon Level (Entry Tier - Novice)

- Description: Epsilon pilots tend to be beginners or low-skill individuals, often still in training or early in their combat careers.

- 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.
