As implied,
Wondering of it would be tedious / doable to add a Pilot stat page for pilot Class from the
TopGun WIP mod?? In effect something like the soldier diary for pilots. This would add
depth/interest to pilot class beyond accumulating dogfight experience and being a craft
requirement. Perhaps something like this was already planned with TopGun??
I'm far from being well versed in yaml, but some ideas of how the .rul file might look.
Forgive any syntax/spacing/structure issues.
See Below:

Basic thought would be for tracking base stats (e.g. flights, kills, hours etc) and have
some score system built alongside. UFOs currently have a score value. This could be
used for pilots as a point system for kills, or introduce unique key (e.g. value / victoryValue)
Would be great to see if time permitting in the future.
Thanks for looking.
