It will indeed have many available alterations so we can take people by surprise by doing super fast adjustments while in the middle of battle! It can be an option in the pilot's menu so that's why it's so surprising that they can fly efficiently and go through the menu at the same time to do the adjustments. Most people have to wait until after battles to do it. Plus there might be a special sync up attachment that, for a brief moment, allows us all to fight together with...something awesome. I don't know yet. Also, most people will think the commander is flying the command ship so that will catch them off guard when he'll actually be flying one of the fighters.

We don't really need official ranks, being a smaller group of friends.
