Pilots?
Sonoskay:
Is it just me or are pilots just kinda rare. I mean it generaly takes a special person to want to drive a ship and command others but it seems its a slight rareity in the game. Not enough to keep the games from starting too much but it seems like once you decide to make a real effort to being pilot it seems like no one wants to do them... most of the day i just wanted to shoot stuff or beat stuff with wrenches and hammers but every time i enter a match a pilot leaves and no one joins. after 5 minutes of waiting i give up and pilot anyway. just to keep the room from emptying out.
Is it just bad luck or are pilots just unpopular?
Letus:
Saying that it can be the hardest class to learn as you need to learn how to move a ship, and understand the ranges of your weapons on your ship, while the other two classes require a point-and-click mindset.
It is not a class one can easily grab and master quickly without much observation. (I didn't take up piloting until I spent hours on other ships, and from that I was able to get a feel of how to fly many ships, then piloting was a breeze.)
Most people who just want to run in guns blazing won't try for piloting it seems, while most pilots with that mentality tend to be easy to kill.
Shinkurex:
what you've described is probably the one thing that makes players pilots... They man(or woman) up and take the hot seat so that the lobby doesnt empty and the match can start... welcome to the pilots club :P
Captain Smollett:
It's not always that way for everyone. I wanted to pilot from the moment I started playing GOI (hence my name).
I read through all the forums, the webpage, and played a ton of engineering and gunning before I took the pilot slot but I was hooked with captaining as soon as I began.
Good times and good memories.

I Did the same actualy but i had no Idea that i would take up piloting. I just figured learning as much as i could is a good stratagy for any game.
