Gaining Heavy and Light XP thru botting is fun for your first character, but it gets old for new alts. Building an alt thru Player Kills is a much more interesting path!

AMEN TO THAT! As I said in another post, Basic Combat Practice and Hive Skirmish start getting a repetitive as procurement runs and escorts after a while. There should be many alternatives to these things. Why don't the Serco see Itani encroachment into their territory and vice versa? And therefore why isn't there, as is pointed out here, heavy and light license build-up in PvP?

Many pilots use Boarder Patrol to gain XP, but for a pirate, thats not a great option. Heavy and Light XP would be a boon to pirates, and to UIT not involved in the Itani - Serco conflict.
