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.

changes:
- refactor: "Refactors Gravity Generator UI from HTML to TGUI."
- rscadd: "Adds sector-based modifier var 'overmap_hazards_multiplier'
for generating total overmap hazard count."
- soundadd: "Adds new Lemurian Sea 'welcome' announcements."
- rscadd: "Added Lemurian Sea gravitic anomalies as overmap hazards and
random events."
- rscadd: "Adds ADPI/The Voices."
- rscadd: "Adds ADPI Panel for modmins to send ADPI messages to a single
character or all characters from their respective pools, or custom
messages."
- balance: "Vaurca Hivenet communication, the Hivenet Manifest, and
Hivenet Echoes are now disabled while the ship is in Lemurian Sea
sectors."
First PR. Adds mechanical representation of faint Hivenet echoes for
Vaurcae. Like the lore, only they can pick them up.
It's designed for a lot of variety so as to trigger every 3-5 minutes
without boring players. All together, there's 500 different echoes.
There are three categories of broadcasts (gossip, happy, tense) split
between "starter" and "response" messages to imitate two vaurcae
talking. These make up 380/500.
Gossip can occasionally have a singular, joined echo to represent only a
single vaurcae talking for extra variety. Happy is less common and tense
is the rarest, implying possible danger.
There's also echoes of projections, on a separate 4-8m timer with 120
different sensations for the remaining echoes.
Hivenet should never feel empty again and echoes extend past being
fluff, they can prompt roleplay since they'd ICly be just as valid as an
in-round broadcast. Echoes are automatically disabled in the Lemurian
Sea to represent the Fog there and can be manually toggled by Admins &
Storytellers for gimmicks or events.

NEWER: Helmet affects visible name and messages. It ignores worn ID for
obvious reasons, but some Shapers may hide their ID while talking to
other Vaurcae.

/>
Full Preimminent Shapers should wear robes and helmet with TTS accent to
be as anonymized as possible. Parts of your carapace that peek through
can be easily hidden as well.
NEWEST: Robes and helmet functionality have been swapped, as it makes
more sense for the robes that cover you up to remove from physical
messages.
This has zero reason to exist in our code base. We have no procs or
variables tied to this. I removed it to make future modifications
cleaner.
