RMU: The best spaceship pilots!

… are Thieves! Fitting, isn't it?

Well, at least if you consider spaceship piloting a Technical skill, which I think would make sense.

There is a Piloting skill in the Environmental category. Unfortunately, that makes the Laborer the best, and the Druid and Ranger not far behind.

Damn, didn't see that. Then again, good that it's so explicitly included!

Why is that unortunate?! Pilots are laborers, that makes a ton of sense too! Anyone remember "I am a leaf in the wind"?


And thieves are still among the best that way! Which just fits. :P

And I guess, if the Hobbit movies are anything to go by, Druids are masters of the rabbit sled.

It also explains why Jedi are such good pilots – they are all druids!

I thought Jedi were monks.

But that would mean their cost for piloting is 3/5…
