What would we do if all of test out as Star Commanders or Captains? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Next, you overlooked one thing: The average clanner doesn't come fresh from the sibko, he is already a seasoned warrior (above what the sibko training provides).If the average front-line warrior with some years of experience would rate only a 3/4, it would probably be impossible for Cherish to have a 2/2 to start with. You are right, of course, that several sourcebooks give 3/4 to "average" clan pilots. But then, most of them assign only 1/2 to the very best of the clans, the elite pilots. (Using the MW RPG enables you to start with much higher scores than the tabletop game due to its inherent generosity, but the average pilot profits from this bonus also.)The 3/4 should be applied as a standard for those fresh out of training, otherwise what would the true elite pilots, the very best of the clans, many of them blood-named and sharpened by years of combat against varying opponents, have? Just 1/2, a little bit better than Cherish comes out of the sibko? (If they started out the same as Cherish - and why shouldn't they? -, that's not really much of an improvement for all they have gone through, isn't it?)Regarding "some of the more Elite IS forces", the standard for IS Elite is 2/3, with some vastly superior. (Morgan Kell -1/-1)Still, our discussion might be a bit of a moot point. Jemal has to decide what fits his intentions and plans and he has already stated that doesn't really feel bound by "canon evidence". So both of us might be in for a big surprise. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
