I am going to become an alliance starfighter pilot and have got the required number of xp to gain the next skill level.

So I look around and have asked so many different rebel pilot trainers but they tell me to go back to my own unit!! whats going on?

There are THREE rebel pilot units .. and everyone of those has 3-4 trainers each. There is only ONE trainer responsible for you at any given point of your career.

Which of the three units have you chosen ? Did you get your starter ship already OR what tier pilot are you (assumption 0 or 1) ?

Have fun

Ok .. try this .. http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=pilot&message.id=61751

And THIS is the important part :

Starting Out:

The pilot profession is composed of three different factions, each of which has three available squadrons to join:

1. Rebel: Recruiter Location: J'pai Brek (-5072, -2343) Tyrena, Corellia
   
   • Akron's Havok Squad: Captain Kreezo, Tyrena, Corellia (-5177, -2281)
   • Vortex Squadron: V3-FX {droid} (right across the bridge) Moenia, Naboo
   • Crimson Phoenix Squadron: Commander Da'la Socuna (back room of the cantina) Mos Espa Tatooine
   
   
2. Imperial: Recruiter Location: Commander Landau (-5516,4403) Theed, Naboo
   • Inquisition: Lt. Barn Sinkko, Kadaara, Naboo (5204, 6728)
   • Storm Squadron: Lt. Akal Colzet, Bestine, Tatooine (1110, -3514)
     Note: this is widely considered the hardest pilot squad in the game.
   • Black Epsilon: Hakasha Sireen, Imp Outpost, Talus (-2183, 2259)
   
   
3. Freelancer: Recruiter Location: Gil Burtin (-1174, -3647) Bestine, Tatooine
   • Smuggler Alliance: Dravis, Mos Eisley, Tatooine, Back room of cantina (3429,-4788)
     Note: this squad is lightly Rebel-aligned. Your final mission will be against an Imperial Corvette.
   • RSF Squadron: Captain Dinge, Theed Naboo (-5497,4575)
     Note: this squad is heavily Imperial-aligned. RSF pilots can't hurt Imperial ships and your final mission will be against a Rebel Corvette.
   • Corsec Squadron: Sergeant Rhea, Coronet Corellia (-275,4730)
     Note: this squad is true neutral. On your final mission, you may choose to destroy either a Rebel or Imperial Corvette.

If you don't have one already, your first squadron trainer will provide you with a starter ship (though some trainers may need more prodding than others). These ships will have all the basic parts you need to complete your first missions, but you may wish to buy others from the bazaar or your local shipwright. To load up these new parts, simply open up the "Manage" screen from the starport terminals where your starter ship is parked and you'll be able to swap parts in and out.

Have fun

what do you mean tier?

Tier is the level of the pilot. Four horizontal lines of 4 boxes in "Profession" Screen CTRL-S.

Tier 1,2,3,4 and Master Pilot Box.

In contrast to the ground professions, where every profession has 4 vertical trees with 4 boxes  and where you could train only one tree, as a pilot you have to complete all boxes of a tier before you can advanced to the next tier. You advance by EITHER doing storyline missions OR grinding XP OR a mixture of both (I think tier 3 for all squadrons is storyline missions only).

What tier ship and what tier parts? Also depends on your server's economy. Some are pricier than others.

You can loot em all in space.

Otherwise ... for high end parts .... 300k. Thats 3 hours in space and then selling loot you dont need.

Have fun
