Pilot Archive

Sorry if this sounds inane, but I heard a rumor that you can actually fight together in any Non-opposed (neutral + either rebel or imp) multiship. Is that right? In other words, a rebel pal can join you and fight with you in your YT, or a smuggler can help out in a decimator. I doubt it, but just checking to make sure.

Yep. I have very, very good friends that are CorSec, Alliance, and Imperial. I am Smuggler's Alliance. We use turrets to let the Alliance and Imperial pilots help each other in space, as well as taking my YT (don't have a Nova or Dec outfitted, yet) out with them in the turrets for some serious fun.

Oh, some restrictions apply, of course. Only pilots certified for a ship can fly it, but the pilot does not have to be the owner - any Master Pilot can fly my YT but the factioned friends can not. The Ops Chair can be filled by 1) a pilot of the same faction as the ship or 2) a Freelancer even if the ship is not a YT. My factioned friends can not be in the Ops Chair in my YT, while I could do that in a Nova or Dec.

Wow. So it IS true, then?

Let me make sure I'm getting this straight. Piloting aside (have to be trained in the right faction):

-A smuggler can fire a turret (which will actually cause damage), and make ship repairs as he's ableon either rebel or imp Multi ships

-A rebel/imp can do the same with a smuggler ship

-Cross factions can't do this, for obvious reasons

Still not clear on the ops chair, but I'll go back and reread it to see if it clears up some.

EDIT: Just read your Multi-Player Ship Guide. Answered all my questions. Great guide! Thanks!!

Not my guide, but certainly one packed with information. Glad you got everything answered, despite my weak attempt at an explanation of the Ops Station restrictions.
