Pilot

Intro

Pilot allows you to operate any air-based vehicle in HellMOO, from simple tiltrotors to heavily armed gunships. It is an excellent skill for those seeking to explore HellMOO, with some areas being exclusive to those who can traverse the skies.

Getting Started

Piloting is a fairly dangerous activity. With low pilot skill, it's easy to spiral out of control with a very likely chance of you slamming into the ground with a fiery explosion. But fear not, there are a couple ways to raise your pilot skill relatively safely. Your first few levels in pilot should be gained from learning from a corpmate or other such helpful player. If you're the anti-social type, the npc Bryce at the Slagtown airstrip is available teach you (for a fee of course). If you're the adventurous type, you could grind with any easily found respawning aircraft, like the enteman bomber in New Clearwater, though it's highly unadvised.
