We obviously have different methods. When I dominate planets, I target the attacking ships, not my escorts.

What a novel idea...

Escorts, pah! Real pilots conquer planets on their own.

Vacuum suit and a stick.

They wouldn't be pilots then.

No, they'd just be pilots on their own.

Never!

They're only pilots if they are piloting a ship. Otherwise they're simply people floating in space.

...what if you needed to land on a station and hire a pilot who was familiar with the local specifics of a system in order to land on a planet? You know, like old-school pilot who bring ships into harbors so they don't run ashoal? Gotta love Boston harbor...
