A Commander in SFC or Lieutenant Colonel in MACO or above must give authorization before pulling out a shuttle for use, If one is not available you can request someone on the communication server to give you permission.

This rule does not apply to anyone with the rank of Commander in SFC and above or Lieutenant Colonel in MACO and above.

Abusing shuttle self destruct mode or other misuse of shuttles can get your licence revoked temporarily or permanently.

You must have the required license in order to use that type of shuttle, this includes workbees and larger shuttlecraft.

Warp is not to be used while within an atmosphere.

Work Bees are not to be taken inside the atmosphere.

You must limit to RCS thrusters when inside of a hanger/shuttlebay

Escape pods can be flown by anyone, however it is best to leave it to the person most qualified as in evacuation procedures getting out rapidly is key.
