So I recently joined the game and got involved quite heavily logging in nightly for a bit of fun. I began the quest to do the 50 missions with a novice on board, which I figured was me for some of it, and managed to get to 45/50 before the special event expired.
Now, I'm not one to normally complain but as the group I joined the game with are less capable of multi-tasking, I sort of became the default pilot for the group. Trial by fire as it were. Once I hit level 8 in piloting, I was told I was no longer a novice. So I looked to my clan to help. Most of them, being specific to engineering or gunner, had also just hit level 8 or did so after a few more missions. So I placed a request on the global channel several times asking for a novice. No luck but a lot of queries as to what actually defines a novice.
So we all know the player numbers are not stellar and I'm wondering if requiring 50 matches with a novice is even possible. It's a shame really since those goggles would have looked so nice with my blue outfit.
