While anyone can move a shuttle from point A to point B, interstellar FTL travel requires more than basic spatial awareness and quick reflexes. Neural implants must be surgically run through a candidate’s brain, allowing it to commune with a ship faster than chemical neurons could process. A trip that passes instantaneously for passengers could feel like hours or even days to a pilot, depending on the complexity of the jump. The implanting of these neurons and the training required to control and commune with a ship requires years of training and represents a large upfront investment. Pilots are universally valued and typically serve under a contract so their employer can see return on their investment.
- Skill Proficiencies: Communing with your ship requires an understanding on the humanoid AI that performs basic functions. You gain proficiency in the Insight and Persuasion skills from your long training in quickly and precisely communicating with these beings.
- Tool Proficiencies: You are proficient in land vehicles and SPACE vehicles.
Because of the neural implants you were fitted with in order to navigate and pilot, your ship can telepathically transmit large volumes of data into your mind across short distances. While in your ship, you can access databases of knowledge that would overwhelm those without your connection. You gain advantage on knowledge based intelligence checks while at the helm of your ship.
