Yes, I missed that. * The two fighters are listed as single-crew craft, but the Cockpit module actually has two stations. The 50-dton Heavy Fighter from Starships definitely has two crew. * On the other hand, it is iffy if fixed-mount weapons can be fired effectively from a crew station other than the pilot. So maybe the -2 is the reason why the normal Navy pilot template has skill level 14. * On the third hand, a GT fixed mount isn't the same as a VE fixed mount. IIRC turrets have universal mounts and fixed are actually casemates, to keep the stats interchangeable. * Could a single pilot give the helm controls to the computer and concentrate on firing? That's more advantageous than the other way around, I think.
