Pilot skill

A ship's pilot skill is the orange number to the left of the ship's name on its Ship card. Pilot skill determines the order in which ships move during the Activation phase and attack during the Combat phase, as well as the order in which ships are placed during setup.
 * If several game effects alter the pilot skill of a ship, only the most recent effect is applied.
 * If the most recent game effect ends (such as "at the end of the Combat phase"), the ship's pilot skill returns to the pilot skill established by the most recent effect that is still active.
