[Proposal] Flight instructor training.

[vvvvvvvv]

Based on discussion on steam forums.

Idea:

* Any 3+ star pilot can be assigned as an instructor to train a group of pilots.
* The group will quickly reach level below instructor (i.e. 3 star will quickly produce 2 stars), but will take a lot longer to match instructor level.

Reasoning:
* Allows player to train staff without terraforming.
* Gives incentive to train high rank pilot.
* Makes existing high rank pilots (like a parked Sapporo captain) useful.

Possible refinements:
* Training group is small. 6-12 people, no more.
* There can only be one trainer.
* Perhaps, training is done on HQ (because it has some simulator).
* Something similar can be done for marines.
* Perhaps it should be unlocked through research first, like welfare modules.

I think it is a fairly cool idea, because obtaining seminars and trying to rush terraforming is one of the pain points.

This is actually a really good idea, and I think it might be possible for this to be done through a Mod if you don't mind the modified tag.

Post this idea on Scripts and Modding, see if anyone wants to use this. If you want this in the base game then only Egosoft would be able to do that, and I think it unlikely unless they do an update focusing on crew. A talented modder might be able to do this within the week. Go on, you post it; it's your idea, your credit.
