Fighter Skill By Houses

[Tenacity]

There are good pilots everywhere.

If we look at quantity though, there's no contest outside Liberty, simply because it has more players than anyone else, and thus a larger number of 'ace' pilots.

However, in the majority of fights I've seen, I would say that there are more skilled bretonian (BAF) and Rheinland (RM) pilots, if you keep to houses. I've seen both of those factions do some amazing things in pvp events or random encounters.

I participated in some of the old BAF vs KNF fights during 4.84, and despite the kusari side having every advantage as far as ship size, manuverability, and firepower... the BAF continually whooped their butts all over the place.

Likewise, I've seen the RM going up against SCRA, Liberty Navy, Corsairs, Outcasts, and Hessians, and they have some very skilled pilots.

If we go outside of the houses, though, some of the absolute best fighter pilots I've ever seen were Das Wilde and The Keepers. Keepers do have a slight advantage with our light fighter (the VHF and bomber are no better than human counterparts), but I've seen - and been in - battles where keepers were outnumbered three or four to one, and still managed to destroy everything thrown at them. Similar situations have happened frequently with the wilde - and they manage to do all of that in the relatively large and slow rheinland wraiths.
