Not whining about it. Genuinely asking a question so I know how to properly gear him up. It was my (apparently mistaken) understanding that melee combat was based on different stats. I didn't know they had adjusted it based on class. Now that I do, I will happily supply him with Aim gear.

According to the Codex, and all of the missions rewards that are specific to Vik, Aim is his primary attribute. ***? He's a melee tank, why would he use aim? Is this a mistake held over from beta (like Elara starting with cunning stats on her starting gear)? Am I missing something? Edit: apparently the acronym double-yew-tee-eff is filtered? lol

I there any way to level mission skills short of sending companions out on missions? I'm finding that my production and gathering skills (armstech, scavenging) are leveling nicely as I level my character but my mission skill (investigation) is way behind. So much so that when I need some rare-er materials I can't get them from a mission due to it being too low a level. At 3-6 min per mission it's going to be a LONG road to get it up to par with my other skills.
