I used to use the re-colonisation (or otherwise) of Vasuda Prime as a plotpoint quite often.... i.e. Terrans build sol gate & Vasudans get pissy because Vasuda is neglected (in terms of investment), GTVA contacts Sol and uses new tech from there (because Sol would get pretty crowded and need to terraform living space) to re-terraform Vasuda, etc.

I'd think they'd have a few...

Actually, I figure there should be a flight school in many systems.  The main "Top Gun" type schools would likely be near the capitols, but the regular, run of the mill ones could be scattered all over the place.

Get your elite GTVA flight certificate from a presitigous non-accreditted flight school!

No exams, lectures or work required!

That's right, flight permits on your own life experience!  Now anyone can be qualiflied to fly a death-dealing space fighter, for only a low,low,low price 'tuition fee'

Sorry for the slight thread necromancy, but I can confirm for a fact that the GTVA capital is in Beta Aquilae.  I was just re-playing FS2, and I failed the mission "Into the Maelstrom," where you're supposed to defend 2 gas miners and a cargo ship.  The debriefing for the failure mentioned that the Security Council in the capital of Beta Aquilae was turning against the Colossus, feeling that it was too much of a resource hog for its own good.  Anyway, there's some canon evidence, at least .

Though your post certainly goes into more detail.

Whoops, guess I missed something .  Just as a sidenote, I have no idea why I failed that mission; when I replayed it, I beat it with absolutely no trouble.
