# Pilot Ranks

Pilot Ranks are indicative of total experience earned during your time in <mark style="color:blue;">**Space Guardians**</mark>.   Your rank is a complexed menagerie of mind-numbing mathematical formula.

Nah ... not really.

You fly, you earn experience, it gets spread between your [**Pilot Licence**](https://defverse.gitbook.io/defverse-nft/sg/game-design/game-modes/earning-your-wings-tutorial-time) and any in-game items that you used during your session, and voila!  **PROGRESS!**

\
His attitude may stink, but he's worth listening to...
