help piloting
Class Overview From single man starfighters to huge flagships with the population of major cities - such as the Inexpugnable-Class Command flagship - pilots are the navigators of the space frontier. Anyone can be a pilot to some personal degree, but dedicated pilots excel far beyond the normal in space techniques. Able to specialize in squadrons, large ships such as frigates and cruisers, and then the heavy battleships, true pilots also have more advanced weapons capabilities and defensive abilities to help them come out on top in space combat. A truly dedicated pilot is master of their domain, as no amount of forcepike, blaster, or lightsaber training can help you in space. Because large and heavy spacecraft can only be owned by clans, not by individuals, a pilot's choice of clan--and trust with clan leaders--determines their access to these ships. Depending on their race, most beings can fly freighters, especially if they specialize in espionage or smuggling. Class Skills The Pilot class is comprised of the best pilots and battlegroup commanders that can be found across the galaxy. Novice pilots will learn the basics of flight with transports and fighter-class vessels, then slowly move into flying freighters and gunboats, before stepping up into capital-class vessels - as well as all of the support skills required to be a proficient fleet commander.
