In battle, morale is just as important as skill. If pilots are disheartened they're less likely to fight to their best in battle. If they're inspired or feel victory is within their grasp, their performance could excel in the pivotal moments.
The system is simple.
Enemy Defeated = +1 Accuracy to pilots for remainder of battle. +1 critical after two enemies.
Pilot defeated = -1 accuracy and +1 to Escape for Pilots.
Will not work against bosses.
In addition to reflecting character moral, this should also help smooth the flow of battle and allow things to progress.
Also considering a feat towards this system as well.
Feat: Positive Inspiration (Name not final) The pilot's presence inspires their comrades to do better in battle. Effect: +1 accuracy to all pilots for first two rounds of combat.
