S&V Pilot question.
When piloting a spaceship, should I always roll Helm, or are there times when Skulk and Scramble would be better? I know this is really up to my group, just wanted other people’s opinions.

There may be times when acting quickly will be the primary factor, making Scramble better. For pulling off a tricky or complex maneuver I think Helm would be better. Skulk seems like a stretch.
Generally if you’re piloting you’re probably rolling helm. If you need to run to the engine room to put out a fire, scramble then rig probably?
Generally most jobs end up being planetside or not just flying, or often you dock and board someplace, so there’s plenty of non-helm rolls in those regards. And of course the consequences of flying often require other ways of handling them (whether it’s repairing bits, rerouting power, talking down your pursuers or whatnot). We haven’t seen a lot of “and then I roll helm till I’m blue in the face” in playtests—but that comes down to your GM/table.
