Be supportive and listen. Agree with most people, slap Flash down from time to time. Give people breaks, never tell them it is none of thier business. Be nice to Flash in Hyperion. Ship morale starts at 8, pilot morale starts at 8 as well.
All pilots are perfect in flying and gunnery.
Hobbes, Flint, and Vaquero follow orders all of the time. Cobra, Flash, Vagabond follow orders sometimes. Maniac never follows orders. Hobbes' and Vagabond's courage is maximized. Morale changes courage and obedience.
