PILOT
A pilot, sometimes called a flyboy, directly controlled the operation of a vehicle while located within the same craft. For small starships the pilot might be in charge of all aspects of the vehicle including navigation, sensors, communications and weapons. For larger ships, a pilot may be assisted by other crew members to handle different ship systems. The term "pilot" applied across vehicles used on land or in water, air, and/or space.
Pilots are capable of holding their ships in battle longer than any other class. Their training allows them to maintain engines, shields and fire power far more superior than any other class could. Pilots are trained with pistol and light armor, thus they can join the ground team but their real potential only shines when they fly, or when they need to crash and not harm anyone while doing so. Pilots travel everywhere and they are somewhat familiar with Xenology.
