Operations
NOTICE: This page is a Work in Progress as much of the lore/Development for the game is yet to be established.
The operations department handles all aspects of shipboard piloting, navigation and shuttle operations. Operations crewmembers will wear brown clothing.
Overview
Operations are the main piloting crew aboard a starship. Their duties revolve around piloting the starship from one area to the other and navigating obstacles in-between. They are currently not based out of a single area, though will likely have duties based in the Shuttle Bay and Bridge in future updates.
Currently, pilots from the operations department have access to the Helm. The station allows them control over the FTL Drive and use RCS Thrusters to steer the direction of travel. Helm operators can set the navigation targets for the ship, either setting them manually or using coordinates sent by either Sensors Station and Holo-Display. They also can control bridge target indicators and use the Autopilot to control these automatically.
