Training Time

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

Base training = 6 days (5 on rookie difficulty)

Scalar = 12 days (10 on rookie)

If the soldier is the same rank as the ability, it will take 6 days to train.

If the soldier is 1 rank below the ability, it will take 6+12*1 = 18 days to train.

If the soldier is 6 ranks below the ability, it will take 6+12*6 = 78 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.
