(Minor spoilers below for UC vanguard quests, mainly a person to speak to)

I posted a while back asking for advice on how to find starship battles easily. Got some good advice including mission tables and exploration, but I think I’ve finally found THE method.

After progressing far enough in the UC vanguard quest line, the original recruiter guy you talk to “Commander John Tuala” at the UC HQ will give you unlimited space combat missions and ONLY space combat missions with the option to take on UC vanguard work.

Each fight usually includes 2-3 easy enemies if you’re trying to level piloting or starship command. Often mission kiosk tasks will send you after only 1. (The sim is better for piloting, but you need something like this for starship command)

Hope this helps folks!

If your goal is to level up by fighting ships... the UC dogfight simulation does work. They count as "real" enemies and you can fight 4-7 of them pretty quickly.

Honestly I don't recommend it as it's pretty boring.

Yeah that’s the most reliable way for leveling piloting, but I agree it’s super boring. I’ll admit I didn’t try it but I don’t THINK it works for starship command. Starship command has challenges like “destroy 50 enemies with a crew of 6”, and the sim is a solo ship.
