Calling all Competitive Pilots

We've been sitting on this badge for some time. Now we're excited to roll it out!


We want Project Genesis to be the kind of title that encourages healthy competition. And although we’re still a small, growing community, we’ve already identified players who separate themselves from the rest. Now we’re going to enjoy learning from, watching and even broadcasting what happens when our top players compete against one another.

If you're competitive enough to hang with the most elite players in our growing community, then you're the player we hope to see enrolled in our Ace Pilot program.

[h3]What's the Ace Pilot Program?[/h3]
The Ace Pilot program will help drive Project Genesis' evolution toward its aspirations of a fun and competitive title. The program invites the most competitive pre-alpha pilots, matching them against each other in weekly organized events. Ace Pilots will play a critical role in helping us balance gameplay as well as identify opportunities to address around team dynamics.

[h3]How do I Join?[/h3]
Although the Ace Pilot badge is awarded by invitation only, anyone can get noticed by their ranking on public leaderboards and by playing regularly in Dev Daily playtests held twice every weekday:
- 11am PDT or 6pm UTC
- 5pm PDT or 12am UTC

[h3]When are Ace Pilot Matches Held?[/h3]
Ace Pilot only sessions will begin by being held once a week. With scheduling to be negotiated between all available Ace Pilots worldwide.

[h3]How do I Find Ace Pilots?[/h3]
Once a player accepts their Ace Pilot invitation, their account is accredited with an Ace Pilot badge that progressively ranks and appears in several locations:
- In game on combat ships, inside assault pods and on score cards
- Official Leaderboard
- Role designed within official Discord community
