That moment when the Captain leaves mid-game.

Indreams:
Lol, I remember some of my first matches:

I ran a pyra against a blenderfish. We went in for a ram, the carronade stripped our armor moments before contact. We shattered like egg on rock when we did make contact. Hilarious.

The person who is most comfortable piloting.

Preferably a human gunner unless you have an Ai gunner and two human engineers.

You should probably just talk to the other ship on your team unless you think begging for mercy from the enemy will help. Team text chat is "K" let the other captain know your captain has left and you will support him to the best of your non pilot abilities.

Conservatively, hang back and let your team mate take point. If you really need a pilot tool consider exiting the game and rejoining with that tool as your one tool choice.

Indreams:
Thank you very much,

I just came out of a match where the captain was quite useless (left moonshine on the whole time, and I think he was lagging badly).

I got to drive again, and the tips really helped. We lost, but I managed two kills, making the score 2-5.

Salutes to you all, especially to Hamster IV. I read your guides and they are wonderful.

CitizenFry:
Normally the captain slot is the one who can issue orders to the AI through the use of the F1, F2, and F3 keys. If the captain leaves, that power passes to whichever player is in the topmost crew slot on the ship (as shown in the lobby or TAB scoreboard). I suspect, but have not verified, that captain-chat (C key by default) also passes in the same manner.

sparklerfish:
Since the captain is generally replaced by an AI gunner, I find it best if the gunner takes the helm, but if the gunner's not comfortable with it obviously it'll be whoever is.  But yeah better to have two engineers and one AI gunner than two gunners, one of which is AI, and one engineer....
