Did you switch to an Inferno build? If so you cannot access your old pilots. You don't want them anyway as they'll soon be lost in the pilot file upgrade (but it shouldn't happen again after that.)

Just make new pilots. If you need to skip to a certain mission go to the techroom and pres ctrl-shift-S.

thanks General Battuta,
yes, I'm switched to an Inferno build
however, I don't understand really the differences between inferno builds and standard build.

Inferno builds have higher limits for weapon and ship table entries -> mods can use more ship and weapon types. Also, the regular pilot files and Inferno pilot files are different and do not get along -> Inferno builds store their pilot files in a different folder so regular players wouldn't accidentally break anything.

All builds are Inferno builds from now on - they just have higher limits so mods like Blue Planet can use all their ships and weapons.

No, I don't think so, no it's not a good idea, no you shouldn't really care because you have to make a new pilot for every mod anyway, and lastly, no, because the upcoming pilot file fix will solve the issue once and for all but you'll probably have to make a new pilot then!

So in short, I wouldn't if I were you.

Use Inferno.

Do NOT use your old pilot files with Inferno.
