I didn't think Kell was focusing on Piloting. Also, if we need a 'Dedicated Pilot", it makes sense for them to be an NPC so all the players can be utilized without worrying about the ship.
Of course, should someone want to play a Pilot, they could easily have their own "fun" in the ship while others are seeing their "fun" on the ground.
"fun" being a relative term from "Yay, completing goals!" to "Oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die!".
But we're all gonna die!
Good. Gooooood. Accept your fate. Embrace the inevitability of your demise.

I am smirking on the other side of this computer screen. Hoping to have a moment where Gael can collect his thoughts on the situation at hand, including whether he will ultimately follow the captain's orders at all. Yeah, Gael's not someone who really gives a darn whether his superior says so or not. Really, when Gael asks for permission from someone, he's more just trying to confirm whether or not there will be consequences for his actions....... Oh god, I can feel the Conflict already.
