Who wouldn't want to be the ultimate space ace in Starfield? To become a member of the esteemed UC Vanguard team, passing three out of six tiers in the piloting exam within the Supra Et Ultra faction mission is essential. While achieving success in three tests secures your spot, conquering all six tiers grants you some enticing rewards, even though it's not mandatory.

Here's a breakdown of what to expect in each tier of the exam:

  1. Tier One: Face off against a single spaceship.
  2. Tier Two: Battle two formidable spaceships simultaneously.
  3. Tier Three: Take on a challenging duel with two powerful spaceships.
  4. Tier Four: Encounter an exceptionally formidable opponent in the form of one strong ship.
  5. Tier Five: Engage in a fierce battle against a squadron of four spaceships.
  6. Tier Six: Confront the ultimate test with an epic showdown against five spaceships of varying strengths.

Tier Six, in particular, poses a significant challenge. To stand a chance, you must invest in upgrading your Piloting and Targeting Control Systems skills while mastering the strategic use of cover. It's a demanding hurdle, but for those who rise to the occasion and emerge victorious, valuable rewards await.
