Missions are not the only source of skill points. Pilots can also earn Light weapon or Heavy weapon experience by killing bots outside of a mission. You also get Combat experience for killing players with equal or higher level than yourself.  You can also gain trading experience by selling a trade good to a station that does not produce that item.
