Fight Digital Enemy Ships in the UC Piloting Simulator

Starfield - Fight the Digital Enemy Ships in the UC Piloting Simulator
The fastest method to complete the Aneutronic Fusion Rank Up Challenge is to farm the UC Vanguard Piloting Exam. This exam is part of the UC Vanguard Faction Quest Supra Et Ultra. This exam involves you destroying various digital ships within the simulation. Destroying these ships count towards completing the skill challenge for Piloting.

To complete the Vanguard Simulation, you have to complete the first three tiers of enemies. You can stand up and reset the simulation at any time by holding the E key to stand up from the cockpit seat and then leaving the simulation room.

This ship combat simulation is repeatable and thus the best method to complete the challenge, which skips the trouble of finding hostile ships to destroy.
