Training Time

Formula for time to train a skill: Training Time = Base Training + Scalar * Rank Difference

Base training = 3/4/4/4 days

Scalar = 7/8/10/10 days

Examples using Commander/Legend ranks

If the soldier is the same rank as the ability, it will take 4 days to train.

If the soldier is 1 rank below the ability, it will take 4+10*1 = 14 days to train.

If the soldier is 6 ranks below the ability, it will take 4+10*6 = 64 days to train.

• A scientist staffing the Psi Lab will reduce training time by 50%

If a psi solder is training in the tube and you send them to infiltrate a mission, another soldier can train in that psi tube; the soldier that was in the tube will be on hold upon return from his/her mission.
