Description
After accepting Commander Tuala's recruitment pitch, you must go through a basic orientation and exam. This will determine both how long the road to UC citizenship is and how big your first paycheck will be.

Acing your Fighter Ace Exam
After talking to Taula, head down the elevator to the Vanguard Orientation Hall. Quick head over to a terminal to sign up and begin the examination. In order to get a perfect score you want to listen to every showcase, or just press the button and continue on to the next one. After you either take in the history of the United Colonies or ran down the hall pressing buttons, head towards the end towards a large room with two pods. Head to the one on the left to begin your piloting test. Talking to the proctor will give you a hint that you can and are encouraged to cheat during the test.

Once in the pod, sit down in the piloting chair to begin, after a few seconds AI ships should appear and start attacking. You can either immediately exit the chair and head to the debug panel to cheat or just destroy them. If you have sufficient security skill you should hack into the advanced debug options allowing you to cheat without limit. Doing so will grant you an ally, improved shields, and improved weapons. Return to your seat and begin dogfighting the AI ships. Cheating will make the test easier but not assured. In order to get the highest possible score you will still need to complete all 6 rounds.

After either destroying all 6 waves of enemies or gracefully accepting defeat, leave the simulator and return to Taula. He will evaluate you based on your actions during both the orientation and the simulator. Pushing every button in the hall gets you a bonus point. Just accessing the debug panel will get you another. From there you are judged based on the results of the simulator. Should you do all of the bonus objectives and manage to defeat every enemy you will get both a giant sack of money and be awarded with a drastically shortened path to citizenship.
