Thank you! Now to just find the template.

They’re definitely generated and not set in stone for the career start. Can’t say where, so that only answers half your question.

I found a workaround for what I wanted, ie. unspent XP for each pilot at the beginning. Thanks though.

If the goal is to get certain pilots with certain skills I would suggest downloading the random can.oaign start mod and edit it to give you specific pilots, then modify those pilots (works for career).

I have a simple question, is there a location to look in for the starting career pilots or are they randomly generated off a template? And if so where can I find the template? I've looked in the Pilot folder but can't see anything that matches.

Starting Career Pilot files location?
