Based on my limited experience on SW 1, pilots can only be found through different missions.

Can MS use pilot's special abilities? Can it snipe, etc?

alrite noted that.

At the moment, my mothership with Tennie piloting it (she has those nice accuracy perks) seems to kill many of my enemies faster than my fighters. Maybe it because i was treasure hunting cache asteroids earlier, and nick myself some awesome high level turrent guns and heavy calibre guns for my MS.

Sadly, the pilot on MS cannot use his/her active skill. Tennie has a starting snipe skill rite? When she's piloting my MS, the icon for Snipe is not there. However, my hero's Sixth Sense does effect the MS as well, even my hero is piloting a fighter outside MS.
