How to be an Ace


It takes more then just fancy skills and techniques to be an ace pilot, it takes the kind of experience that you can only get from being in combat. This experience enhances the ace's abilities and skills.

In the SimChamber, this is represented by [b]Ace Bonuses[/b].


[color="Gold"][b]What are Ace Bonuses?[/b][/color]

Ace Bonuses are special bonuses awarded to pilots after they've participated in a certain number of fights.


[color="Gold"][b]How many fights do I need to have to get a bonus?[/b][/color]

There are 2 levels of Ace Bonuses, each one awarded at different numbers of fights. Level 1 bonuses are awarded at 50 fights, and level 2 bonuses at 100 fights.


[color="Gold"][b]How many Ace Bonuses can I get?[/b][/color]

Pilots can only get 1 of each level of bonus.


[color="Gold"][b]Can I replace my Ace Bonuses?[/b][/color]

Unlike skills, techniques, and spirit commands, Ace Bonuses can not be reset, so choose carefully!
