Ah!!!
If you're talking about ellite, I'll tell you something. From my search and observation, a
higher fighter base will start making your fighter only catch up ace fighter really fast.
This is an example from the KM pilots.
Notice the ace and fighter curves and difference.
Notice the difference btw this configuation and from UK.
The only difference is the +2 that km gets.
So with your ellites, you can see right away that things from Fighter will catch Ace fighter.
