From publisher blurb:
The Pilot’s Course is intended to give some background ideas on starship operation and procedures for referees. If your player characters have a ship, this will give you ideas on bridge and watch-keeping procedures, as well as communications. How does artificial gravity steer the ship? How do you know where you are? How do you tell someone else? What information does a transponder send out? How do you make sure the people maintaining the laser turret don’t get electrocuted? It will help you to make starship operation seem convincing to your players.
It also includes details of the Euthenia Training Shuttle and the Fortuna Armoured Courier, with deck plans and statistics. There’s also artwork and Voithea, an AI crew member.
