Let's sit on it. It's a good idea, we just need a mechanic to implement it. Something will come.

Coincidence? Pshaw. Yet another example of our spectacular design skills, coupled with our encyclopedic command of the subtleties of d20 mathematics.

Do we need to mention a specific case of the standard Aid Another action? Perhaps. It doesn't belong in the Piloting skill description because other skill descriptions don't include such things. I don't think it belongs in Maneuvering or Combat because it's actually not either of those things -- it can affect both but isn't something you need to know to manage either.
I reckon it should go in the descriptions of control components. Control components ought to mention that while a vessel is always commanded by a single pilot at a single control set, other control sets can be installed so that co-pilots can make Aid Another actions.
That makes the most sense to me. Otherwise, it's just sort of the "by the way" sort of rule that doesn't really belong anywhere.

| That question aside, your latest revision of the chapter looks terrific. Except for proof-reading (which I'll deal with in due time), I think we can pretty much call this chapter finished. Good job! |
Excellent. And yes, we should all do a careful proof-read once we're done with each chapter.
