@MacabreMoth I did say in the Interest Check, being that we have people who have never played the system before, i think it'd be better to start at Level 1.
And yes, the "Pilot/Heavy Weapons" combo actually works quite well. Because i've never actually gotten the opportunity to play the game, i have theorycrafted a number of characters over the last 11 years i've been aware of this game. I did theorycraft a Pilot/Heavy-Trooper.
That being said, i'd recommend either Noble or Scoundrel for pilot, as Scoundrel gets some nice talents to help him with Starship combat, and Noble is just a great skillmonkey-class.
