Could I choose to have my mage character's auto-attack be strength-based instead? He only has one damage-dealing skill, and that's only available at tier 6 anway.

Utterly up to you, I need to re balance James's stat points since his dmg will be Int based even for his auto attack. but yeah, I imagen hitting shit is Strength based. 
Note, You on a specific guild? or solo?

Also; I can throw 2 or three NPC's to fill the guild. and BTW airships are all controlled by the current pilot, who is 1 player. Just to clear that up. Since you can have huge or tiny airships. However having other players makes life easier.
