Pilots

Flying all classes of ship

Pilots have trained at an academy, within a military or pseudo-military organisation, or under the tutelage of another pilot and learnt to fly all classes of ship. They are an absolutely essential addition to any crew as without them journeys through the system can take a lot longer. All ships in the Mavros system use an onboard computer system called ALaNI (Advanced Logic and Neurological Interface). All pilots have learnt to use this sytem.

From varying levels Pilots gain abilities and bonuses that they can use throughout their journeys ...

Class Bonuses

From Level Title Description
1 SHIP FLIGHT In order to achieve their first level as a Pilot, a character learns how to pilot a spaceship and may then use their levels in Science to offset the journey time of a flight.

Class Abilities

From Level Title Description
1 JOURNEY PLANNING A new pilot has learnt to commit planned routes to memory and can recall details of the route of their ship journey without the need for written records of a skill check.
2 COMPUTER SCIENCE 2 extra levels in Science
3 BY THE STARS An experienced pilot can tell where they are within the Mavros system by the look of the stars (if they are on a planet, it must be a clear night).
4 THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT 2 extra levels in Intuition
5 TAKE CONTROL If a pilot is on a ship but not currently flying it, they can take control of the vessel from their nearest terminal so long as they have more levels in Science than the pilot currently flying the ship. If the ship is being flown by a non-pilot then they take control regardless.
