About skilling
Skills increase everytime a skill event occurs. Each skill has different skill events that increase the skill, and a skill event may additionally be worthy or unworthy.

Worthy
- NPC fires one laser shot at pilot, $skill_{player} \lt skill_{npc}$
- NPC fires one missile at pilot, $skill_{player} \lt skill_{npc}$
- Pilot lands one critical hit with laser against NPC
- Pilot lands one critical hit with missile against NPC
Unworthy
- NPC fires one laser shot at pilot, $skill_{player} \ge skill_{npc}$
- NPC fires one missile at pilot, $skill_{player} \ge skill_{npc}$

Skill gain
Everytime a worthy skill event occurs, the respective skill will increase by the following amount (where sskillplayer isand skillnpc are the player's current skill level)level and the NPC's skill level respectively):
$skillgain_{worthy}\left(s\skill_{player}\right)=\ \frac{1-\frac{\left(\operatorname{floor}\left(s\skill_{player}\right)\right)}{200}}{\operatorname{floor}\left(s\skill_{player}\right)^{2}}$
The formula for unworthy skill gains is not known, but the best known approximation is:
$skillgain_{unworthy}\left(s,skill_{player}, cap\skill_{npc}\right)=\frac{skillgain_{worthy}(s)skill_{player})}{(sskill_{player} - capskill_{npc} + 1)^{1.3}}$
where cap is the skill cap of the NPC being targeted.
