Class History The Nova was an odd ship to learn to pilot. Simulators were only so effective, and the EA needed a way train fighter pilots with some real world experience. The Nova Trainer effectively placed another cockpit on the front of the fighter for use by the student, while the instructor flew in the cockpit where the original cockpit was. The Nova Trainer is still in use, training pilots for the Aurora and Thunderbolt Starfuries. (Note: This design was one of CanisD's contributors. He never made an SCS for it, so I decided to finally make one up. My version probably differs from what the author originally had in mind. The picture for the fighter can be found on Wolf's Shipyards.)
