Only captains can be pilots.

That top right gun on the front of a pyra can easily be manned by a crew member with a pipewrench, 1 choice of ammo, and nothing else. Absolutely viable, and don't deny it.
copilot is best tactic

Copilot best tactic? We are anxious to see it in competitive matches.
Unless you need copiloting only for free achievement farm. But you never did anything like that, Geo ;D

Absolutely viable, and don't deny it.

I pilot my Mobula as a gunner quite often. While pilots (lower case due to illegitimate command) do sometimes join matches either by mistake or as trolls, removing that choice is not necessarily a good idea. if you wanted an "All Pilots are Captains but Captains aren't all Pilots" rule, I could kind of understand. It isn't particularly necessary though.
If someone joins as a pilot then if they're clueless - educate them. If they're trolls - report them and move on. It's worked for me so far :D
Velvet:
maybe remove the ability to midmatch join as a pilot not in a captain slot? cause I think that's where the main issue lies.
although personally I'd have no objection to a total ban on crew pilots.
the problem with educating the clueless and reporting a troll is that it doesn't change the fact that your match has been ruined. Sure, you can do what you can to prevent the same person causing the same issue in the future.. but that doesn't mean it's a non-issue.

This was purely because ai don't shoot mines, we had 2 ai so he piloted us into the point as a gunner then hopped off the helm and on to the gun.
