Only captains can be pilots.

Don't forget the times when we're having the hilarity builds. (4 captain junker, for hilarity's sake.)
Sammy B. T.:
I'm sorry but the "hilarity" pales in comparison to the frustration of people joining as a pilot as the countdown starts and then refuse to change because "You aren't in command of me." The latter is amazingly common. The former is just silly.
Richard LeMoon:
Ok, so the only way to choose pilot class is to be in the captain slot... no joining running games as pilot unless the slot is open.
I can't argue with that, even for silliness' sake. Matchmaking is supposed to fix that issue... I guess.
GeoRmr:
What about when a crew member NEEDS both a spyglass and a range-finder more than they need 3 ammo types or 3 repair tools, or perhaps they run a tag team strategy swapping out to use defensive flight tools such as drogue chute and impact bumpers? 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

--- Quote from: Omniraptor on May 17, 2014, 04:50:44 pm ---The captain already gets helm privileges. Captains always steer the ship, a captain is always an engineer or a pilot. Crew are always engineer or gunner, because pilots are absolutely useless off helm. Sammy is asking muse to prevent crew from switching to pilot. There is no reason for crew ever to switch to pilot, people only do it if they are clueless or trolling.

Yesterday I flew on desert scrap aboard Reths mine junker, as I was the only other crewmember, he elected to pilot as a gunner to have more flexibility while shooting the mine launcher after we parked up in the point. Absolutely viable, and don't deny it.
There are situations where another person has crewed as a gunner for me in the captain spot in order to use captain chat and relay commands while I piloted, (I have no microphone) the gunner often having more situational awareness than engineers in regards to ship positioning as they are manning guns 90% of the time not tied down on repairs. Absolutely viable, and don't deny it.
