Pirate be more scary less flyboy

I like that the pirate profession gives pilot skill, but I feel like it would make more sense for the primary skill for pirate to be intimidation. I mean there already is a pilot profession, and the pirate Icy Stare lets you pass any intimidation test. Also there is no profession that has intimidation as a primary skill making intimidation a hard skill to come by if you want to stack it on one person.

HAR! It be bad if your officers can out-intimidate you, mate!

Thanks for the feedback. A key part of the Pirate's Job is to help get close to enemies and ensure that victory is won so that the cargo is lootable.

So I hire people as can do that, and then intimidate the hell out of them to make sure they do it well ....

That's why I like that he has pilot, I just think it makes more sense for him to more intimidate.

Side Note (my view may be a tad skewed since my Dragoon cruiser has 71/27 pilot rating, and no one ever eeevvveer gets away, this may be in part due to have 7 pilot crew members who are lob level 9 or higher)

Extra Pilot skill over 200% of ship Pilot soak won't contribute to anything. I suggest you get another Pilot Assist Module, if you can for one on, so that your ship will have more pilot soak.

At 27 soak, I'm pretty sure he's already used up all available component slots.

My ship is totally decked out, I hv a little extra mass available but no component slots.
