I like to keep my new construction in my home system, running Fleet Exercises until they reach 100% training. What's the fastest way to train a ship's crew up to 100% training level?
What stats should the ship's Captain have? Crew Training, I assume... do any other skills help? Operations, perhaps?
Does the Fleet Staff affect the training rate? Could I speed it up by putting a Flag Bridge on one of the vessels in the training squadron and embarking the Fleet Staff for the exercises?
