So I'm fairly new to this game. (Only a Level 7 Jedi) but I've mostly been doing pilot stuff. I've already finished getting my first bath of training for it, and now I'm doing the duty missions to get more experience. I spend a lot of time doing these duty missions but I ALWAYS die after 5 or 6 checkpoints. Do I lose all the experience I've gained? And how do I know how much experience I have so I know how long till I can go to the next tier? Also, How do I get a tie fighter that's not the basic one? Something about blueprints?
Thanks!
