Pilot Archive

Now I can understand why Imperial pilots are only certified to fly specific ships, and I can understand (somewhat) why Rebels are mostly flying Z95, A, B, Y, and X wings, but why is it that Neutral pilots cannot fly some of the rebel and imperial ships as well. Afterall, pirates and other factions fly them (NPC's). I think that a Neutral pilot should be certified for these vessels as well? If Nym's people can have one, or Corsec, why can't I? Or is that too much to ask?

Not really being sarcastic, just when I see smuggler and pirate NPC's flying these ships, then it just chaps my hide that I cannot fly them as a Neutral.
