Pilot

From Wormhole Sci-Fi MUD Homepage

Pilot was a profession for player characters, but it proved to be unpopular because it had neither the multiple attacks of the warriors, nor the mental powers of some psi users. Generally, such 'reduced-power' classes are faster to level, requiring less experience points.

Attempts to compensate further with equipment for pilots and other 'technical' classes were felt to be insufficient, so the unpopular classes were recycled, including technician, militia and terrorist. (The few players who had a character from these unpopular types were offered reclassification as other types.)

Ironically, with the introduction of ships to the Wormhole universe, pilots might finally have found their purpose. There is no specific 'pilot' class anymore, but some such as Space Pirate obviously identify themselves as having an affinity with starships. Such classes will be offered the chance to practice new skills, giving them the ability to pilot starships, and to fire their weapon systems.
