Will one be able to pilot capital ships?

Topic says it all..

from everything i have read i only see freighters and fighters are pilotable ships..

will we be able to pilot the larger capital ships if we gain enough rank?

Short answer is no.

=========================
Never argue with an idiot, they might be doing the same thing.

I think they just took a screenshot of a capital ship while in their own ship's turret view...

I think turret view is a 1st person view, so that would explain why you can't see the ship...

It can't be fake, because there aren't just cruisers flying around in the demo, and they're not even in the story that early. (It is a cruiser BTW not a frigate) Plus, large ships don't have shields, and if you notice his hud it has no shields either. BTW, turret view is 3rd person, so you can see your ship from outside.

Yes, but in the story there is never a cruiser where Ultra was at.
