= Intro =
As Pilot Officer most of the times you will have to pilot the Alamo in order to transport the Marines, this can be a very boring and repetitive Job, because all you have to do is click two buttons. The Alamo can be controlled with external consoles, but only YOU, the PO, can reduce flight-time, which is a significant boost.


= Your Duties =
First of all, you have to decide what you want to do. Either you do transport and make sure the Marines get to the planet and back to the Ship. Or you want to support the marines on the battlefield with airstrikes via Close Air Support (CAS).

= The Hangar, Your Home, Your Workplace =
The Hangar is where you will spend most of your time. It has two dropships, the Normandy, and the Alamo. The Normandy (Left in the Hangar) will land at LZ2, the Alamo (Right in the Hangar) will land at LZ1, usually the Alamo will be used for Transport and the Normandy for CAS. Each ship has slots for special upgrades. There are two engine slots, one rear slot, two electronic slots and four weapon slots.

*<span style="color:red">Rear Slot</span>: This is the place where the medevac module and the mounted smartgun module goes.
*<span style="color:green">Engine Slot</span>: This is where engine modules are installed, like the cooling system and the fuel enhancer.
*<span style="color:blue">Electronics Slot</span>:This is where electronics are installed, like the spotlight and the targeting system.
*<span style="color:#dbcd34">Weapon Slot</span>: This is where the weapons are installed, like the rocket-pod or the sentry-deployment-system.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />


South of the Hangar is the storage room, it has two powerloaders and various upgrades for the ship. Through the shutters is also the machine to produce more Ammo and Modules. Spend your points wisely, they take a long time to replenish (1 point every 2 seconds). North of the Alamo is the Ammunition-Storage. This is where the CAS Ammo is stored that is available at roundstart.

'''If you want to install a module or reload a weapon, you will need a powerloader, this is how you install a module, it works the same for ammunition:'''
*Right click the powerloader [image of the powerloader] and click “Enter powerloader”
*Move infront of the module and left-click on it, you can carry two modules, simply switch active hand to carry another one.
*Move to the right slot and click left click on it, that’s it, you installed a module.

= How to Pilot =
Piloting each dropship is fairly easy, you just have to click a few buttons and wait. In the cockpit of every dropship you will find the three main consoles.
*The camera control console (left), which lets you view the different cameras of the dropship.
*The main control console (middle), which lets you fly the dropship.
*The weapon control console (right), which lets you fire your weapons or deploy your sentries.



This is the most important console, the main console.

[[File:TGMC-Dropship_Console.png|thumb|left|1000px]]<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />'''It has three important buttons:'''
*Launch Shuttle: Self-explanatory, it launches the shuttle.
*Run Flight Optimization: Only a PO can do this, it cuts the travel time in half, do this before you launch the shuttle. Do not activate this when going on a flyby mission, it will cut the time you have for firing your weapons in half
*Toggle flight type: Lets you change between Transport and Flyby. ''Note that it resets after every flyby mission, so you have to toggle it again.''<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

== Communication==
It’s usually a good idea to communicate a lot. Announce that the Alamo is going to depart soon with the general radio frequency (;). Note that the groundside general radio frequency and the shipside general radio frequency are different, use the command frequency (:v) to communicate with the ship.

Additionally you can inform medical (:m) about any wounded marines coming up, or you can communicate with a squad directly (:q, :b, :c, :d) to coordinate.


== Close Air Support (CAS) ==
Close Air Support, or short CAS, is your way of helping the marines. You can rain down hell on your enemies if you want to. But, for that the groundside marines need tactical binoculars to laze a spot for you to bombard. Communicate with the squads accordingly to make sure they know CAS is available.

But how do I kill my enemies, you ask?
That is simply, first you obviously need to install the weapons to the dropship of your choice, normally it’s the Normandy. Note that the weapons you install are unloaded, and need to be filled with the ammunation from the ammo-storage room.

Then enter your cockpit, change the Flight Type to Flyby and wait. Tell those who carry tactical binoculars to call you before they laze an area, so the Xenomorphs have little to no time to react.

Once CAS is required, launch the shuttle WITHOUT FLIGHT OPTIMIZATION and access the weapon control console. Select the weapon you want to fire, select a target and FIRE. You can fire multiple weapons in on flyby-mission, but it’s always a good idea to fire the biggest and baddest weapon first.

Head back and reload your weapons for the next CAS mission. You can also purchase better ammunition at the dropship part fabricator.
