Piloting is now split into three levels like other skills which note what pilot class of vessel you may comfortably pilot. (Familiar) Shuttle Pilot is for all landables: Spark, Canary, Intrepid, the Quark, and the like are all equal under it. (Trained) Class II Pilot covers most ships, which are "overmap-only" and unable to land or dock. (Professional) Class IV Pilot covers only the Horizon normally, but design-wise extends to whatever is the main player ship, or for anything massive Antags get Professional Pilot, so they can always do ship hijack gimmicks without worry. As a convenience to make Bridge personnel stand out, Professional/Class IV Pilots can deduce their current overmap coordinate from examining space on help intent for 3s. There's no way to directly link to the overmap, so on the backend, this ability briefly references an existing ship console. ### Design Class II and IV are pre-existing terms in-lore, used on the Interstellar Travel page to refer to civilian size classes. With how important each level of piloting is, they cost _+4 points_ each instead of going 2 -> 4 -> 8. This lets there exist the occasional pilot character from any background, but it's _always_ an investment and piloting the Horizon stays hard without training. As Familiar currently costs 6 points, this is effectively a 2-point buff for most cases as you'll rarely have to pilot non-shuttles. (EDIT: Piloting levels are now 4 -> 8 -> 10 so there's a bit of flexibility to have an extra skill for Professional Pilots from Expeditionary Trade) #### The _real meat_ of this PR... is that you can now attempt to pilot vessels a level higher than you with penalties, so there's now a failure spectrum should you manage to access an adjacent-class ship rather than always being hard-locked. The penalties affect acceleration, slowing, turning, and rolling. They're most extreme for Shuttle and Class IV to represent how clueless an unlicensed pilot would be and how complex the Horizon realistically is to operate. With smart usage of autopilot, you can actually find a way to travel normal-ish. I think this is a fun interaction to have for underskilled characters, and makes autopilot actually have a use as it otherwise kills you. Maybe Bridge personnel can give lessons to Class II pilots with it. ### Piloting Education Backgrounds Coming are THREE piloting education backgrounds: Flight Academy, Fleet Training, and Expeditionary Trade. #### ALL GET _Familiar Electrical Engineering,_ _Familiar Atmospheric_ (EDIT: Flight Academy is now the only background that gets Familiar Mechanical Engineering, this makes them stand out as being notably handy/utility-ready for emergencies, but other backgrounds can still easily match them with points. Fleet Training has Tenacity down to Trained for character variety, though tenacity is very slight buffs and hard to notice. Expeditionary Trade now uses Familiar Firearms over Familiar Armed Combat as it's more immediately important.) Electrical Engineering now lets you use a power cell on an unpowered ship console to give it emergency battery life based on the charge. This helps with cases of being stranded from an APC broken by a meteor, a high-capacity cell can give 10m or more based on Electrical level.

Splits Pilot: SpaCecRaft intO three levelS and Adds Piloting Education BacKgrounds (#22673 )

These were some of the first given feedback for skills, so I may as well
implement it.

Piloting is now split into three levels like other skills which note
what pilot class of vessel you may comfortably pilot.
(Familiar) **Shuttle Pilot** is for all landables: Spark, Canary,
Intrepid, the Quark, and the like are all equal under it.
(Trained) **Class II Pilot** covers most ships, which are "overmap-only"
and unable to land or dock.
(Professional) **Class IV Pilot** covers only the Horizon normally, but
design-wise extends to whatever is the main player ship, or for anything
massive

**Antags get Professional Pilot, so they can always do ship hijack
gimmicks without worry.**

As a convenience to make Bridge personnel stand out, Professional/Class
IV Pilots can deduce their current overmap coordinate from examining
space on help intent for 3s. There's no way to directly link to the
overmap, so on the backend, this ability briefly references an existing
ship console.

### Design

Class II and IV are pre-existing terms in-lore, used on the Interstellar
Travel page to refer to civilian size classes.
With how important each level of piloting is, they cost _+4 points_ each
instead of going 2 -> 4 -> 8. This lets there exist the occasional pilot
character from any background, but it's _always_ an investment and
piloting the Horizon stays hard without training.
As Familiar currently costs 6 points, this is effectively a 2-point buff
for most cases as you'll rarely have to pilot non-shuttles.
(**EDIT**: Piloting levels are now 4 -> 8 -> 10 so there's a bit of
flexibility to have an extra skill for Professional Pilots from
Expeditionary Trade)

#### The _**real meat**_ of this PR...
is that you can now attempt to pilot vessels a level higher than you
with penalties, so there's now a failure spectrum should you manage to
access an adjacent-class ship rather than always being hard-locked. The
penalties affect acceleration, slowing, turning, and rolling. They're
most extreme for Shuttle and Class IV to represent how clueless an
unlicensed pilot would be and how complex the Horizon realistically is
to operate.

With smart usage of autopilot, you can actually find a way to travel
normal-ish. I think this is a fun interaction to have for underskilled
characters, and makes autopilot actually have a use as it otherwise
kills you. Maybe Bridge personnel can give lessons to Class II pilots
with it.

### Piloting Education Backgrounds

Coming are THREE piloting education backgrounds: Flight Academy, Fleet
Training, and Expeditionary Trade.

#### ALL GET _Familiar Electrical Engineering,_ _Familiar Atmospheric_

(EDIT: Flight Academy is now the only background that gets Familiar
Mechanical Engineering, this makes them stand out as being notably
handy/utility-ready for emergencies, but other backgrounds can still
easily match them with points.
Fleet Training has Tenacity down to Trained for character variety,
though tenacity is very slight buffs and hard to notice.
Expeditionary Trade now uses Familiar Firearms over Familiar Armed
Combat as it's more immediately important.)

Electrical Engineering now lets you use a power cell on an unpowered
ship console to give it emergency battery life based on the charge. This
helps with cases of being stranded from an APC broken by a meteor, a
high-capacity cell can give 10m or more based on Electrical level. I may
expand this bypass mechanic to all consoles in the future.
Atmospherics skill has no implementation currently, but dealing with
breaches or cycling on shuttles is too important.

Flight Academy - BC, XO, Captain
*Professional Piloting, Trained Leadership, Familiar Mechanical
Engineering*
> "You are at least 25 years of age, with the best navigation training
the Spur can offer, vessel handiness in a pinch, and the know-how for
reining in or assuring passengers for the voyage."

Flight Academy has Leadership honestly just because I didn't want Fleet
Training to look too good, and because I think they can rock the "this
is your pilot speaking" in a cool way. Bridge personnel are usually the
ones that have to wraggle people on away sites, especially during
events.
Mechanical Engineering allows them to make machine frames of ship
consoles in emergencies.


Fleet Training - BC, XO, Captain 
*Professional Piloting, Trained Firearms, Trained Tenacity*
> "You are at least 25 years of age, with the most extensive navigation
training possible and military discipline to back it up. You're a steady
shot in emergencies and, damn it-- You. Go. Down. With. The. Ship."

This was made because a player informed me many BC and XOs choose
military backgrounds, and the +4 points design would prevent that. Fleet
Training isn't the same as Military Training, but having all of Piloting
gives you 6 points free to match MT if wanted. The high Tenacity is
primarily for surviving in ship combat, where you'll probably
bleed/suffocate to death.

Expeditionary Trade - Miners, Xenology roles, OM, RD
*Familiar Piloting, Familiar Firearms, Familiar Medicine*
> "You've developed trade skills for a career of expeditions. You are at
home in a shuttle piloting to and from for an average day's work. You
can even hit a shot or tend to wounds when things eventually get
unsafe."

This is for Miner and Xenoarch primarily. An expedition is just any
journey with an objective, all roles revolving around piloting shuttles
to an objective needs to be able to hold their own if they ever find
carp or have an accident, especially since they'll likely be alone.

#### MISC stuff

corrected shaper gear comments I left wrong

Hotwiring piloting consoles now checks for Familiar in Electrical
Engineering. Its visible emote also now looks identical to attempting an
emergency bypass at first glance, so you can sneakily attempt one with
an unpowered console.

The Doctor of Psychology education background now gives Trained in
Leadership. This was intended to be uncommented, but the person forgot
to do it.

Research Directors now need to have Familiar/Shuttle Pilot. According to
the Guide to Piloting wikipage, they're supposed to be able to fly the
Intrepid and Quark for expeditions, and likely mirroring how the OM can
fly the Spark, but an RD can spawn completely incapable of piloting
currently.

Fixes education age restriction and max skill level in educated skills (#22645 )

The education age restriction now applies to tajara and unathi as well.
The max skill level was supposed to be unlocked in educated skills, but
was being accidentally locked to only the skill level the education
gave. This meant someone uneducated could sometimes get even higher
skill than an educated person, by spending skill points.
The three combat skill ranks were reduced to trained level as their max.
It was not possible for players to get higher before, and 3 was already
the baseline. If a professional is ever implemented for antags or
similar, it can be set back again then.
Doctor of Pharmacy was reduced to only need 25 years old, due to both
the description and that the pharmacist job has that age requirement
too.

Skills System Revival: The Things She Remembered Had Never Been Her Own (#21853 )

This PR is a revisit to the previously derelict PR #20159 that has been
unfinished for sometime now. More details about it in general can be
found here:
https://github.com/orgs/Aurorastation/projects/2?pane=issue&itemId=53167153

For awhile I've been talking about "Things I've been doing but it would
be really nice to do them with a skills system", or "And here's how I
would put this into the skills system when it's done". The main thing
that was stopping me from building it myself was having poor real life
skills in UI code and in DB code. However, I've gotten permission to
resume this PR, which has already completed the steps I would not have
been able to do myself. The rest of the PR fits well into my skillset as

I'm opening this PR as a draft so as to enable my dev environment to
locally track all the previously modified files. I'll take this PR out
of draft and give this a full writeup when I have more work to show for
the PR this weekend.

### TODO

- [x] Rework a decent chunk of the currently existing skills to no
longer require hardcoded inserts into other systems. EG, converting from
classical ss13 methods, to modern /tg/-style ECS coding methods that
work off of component-signal patterns.
- [x] Make sure all of the existing skills have actual game
functionality (I won't PR a 2016 Baystation12 situation where 90% of the
skills are fluff only)
- [x] Add the various skills not yet made but are necessary for
completion sake, EG: Pilot (Spacecraft), Gunnery, Pilot (Walkers).
- [x] Examine each existing job in the game and assess whether it should
have a skill made with it in mind, or if it's covered by an existing
skill.
- [x] TO DISCUSS, BUT NOT ESSENTIAL: Additional skill proposals not
currently in the pre-existing TODO list, proposing subcategories.
- [x] Ensure that the previous TODO list is completed.

### Current Skills
The current list of skills, checkmarked for if I've completed them/they
have actual game mechanics. Or if we're just relegating them to separate
PRs. Originally this list was going to be forced to visit for a bare
minimum "does at least one thing" requirement, but now that is being
forgone due to this PR ballooning out of control and in complexity, as
