You can pilot some vehilces with the Wisdom skill... but that's just for the Pilot skill. you don't get to use your Wisdom everywhere else. Sure you can get the ship to do stunts, land, take off, etc... but when it come time to dodge fire, react quickly, etc... it still your Dex score... at least that's what I've been working off. NOW we could let them use their WIS modifier everywhere you'd normaly use your DEX modifier, but that lets them use it for Reflex saves, and armor class (note that a Monk pilot would be getting their Dex and Wis bonus to their vehilce AC anyway) etc.

For the record, using the Wisdom score for piloting was not my idea, and I've yet to have it explained to me as to WHEN you get to do that. I know its supposed to be built into the vehilce, but what is the concept here? that it is a smart vehilce (computer controlled) so you plot courses instead of turning a stick? Is this an option we allow on all vehilces (even fighters?) or is it limited to larger vehilces? When building a vehilce do we want it to be a choice you make, or do you need to buy special components to let you pull it off?

Personaly the only 3 times I had it in my mind that it would make sense is 1: the vehilce has advanced automated controls, and you plot courses. 2: you literaly plug your brain into the computer (animie style) and pilot it by thought instead of by stick (also works for psionic controls!) 3: the vehilce is alive and can pilot itself... your jsut kinda half-piloting it. (this is still being worked out as to it's possibilities or not possible)
