-|"What is the difference between a Noob and an Elite? A Noob thinks before he jumps across a chasm. An Elite jumps instantly or doesn't at all; so finely tuned is his sense of spatial awareness that such calculations become more a reflex than conscious thought."   **-- Prince Hassan the Zero-First Point Seventh  Cadet Induction Ceremony for Clone Batch #16**|+|"What is the difference between a Noob and an Elite?

 To Wired Rovers skill is everything (well, maybe that and their custom ship components). Their hierarchy of leaders, squadron commanders, and crew all revolves around competitions of skill and brilliance. In order to better hone their skills many pilots have to be born and bred in space as most Freespacers are, but deviate from the norm by making it common practice to live in microgravity. This allows them to train their spatial awareness and motion prediction capabilities to an almost instinctive point, not unlike the way terrestrial species instinctively know how to keep their balance when standing upright. Furthermore all this is supplemented with biological modifications prevent space sickness and enhance high-G maneuvers, as well as neural interface upgrades to allow them to reduce their piloting response times. Finally, most pilots often end up logging a few hundred hours of simulator time before they will even be considered by the more prestigious squadrons.  To Wired Rovers skill is everything (well, maybe that and their custom ship components).

 These [[faction:freespacers:hacker_cult#datajacks|Datajacks]] are responsible for providing combat support for the Wired Rover pilots directly and indirectly. They operate the Mothership's ECM modules, manage sensor and communication tapping probes, and provide tactical operations support in general. All these tasks are usually done through proxy probes so as to avoid revealing the Mothership location, but they may sometimes may be placed aboard a corvette or patrol-craft in order to operate in the field.  These [[faction:freespacers:hacker_cult#datajacks|Datajacks]] are responsible for providing combat support for the Wired Rover pilots directly and indirectly.
