Tarotdragoon-- Russo sounds good. I'm a fan of Franken builds myself (one of the many reasons that I love Modern!)
I will tell you honestly that you really won't get any opportunities to use your piloting abilities in the prologue.
In Real Life, around the table the prologue averaged about three- five game sessions. The longest run for the Main Plot lastest over a year, and it crumbled only due to the marriage and newborn baby of one of my main players. No one wanted to continue if he wasn't there, so it kept getting put off and put off...
Terrain your PC's can be expected top traverse will be largely unexplored dense jungles, rivers, and swamps.
BowenSilverclaw, a quick few sentences to a paragraph really is all I require. I just need to get a grasp on what you'd like to do, and see how well that gels with my overall concept (Make sure that you don't waste skill points on things that will never get used, things that somehow break meta-plot, etc...)
Nanshork, I'd love to have you but if you really don't think that you're up for it, I'd understand. I've had to bow out of games myself in the past and it sucks. I won't hold it against you, and you'd be welcome to join us once the Main Artifact campiagn begins... On the other hand, I'm not keen to see BowenSilverclaw "break out the asshair"-- so maybe you'd better stick with us. ;P
You aren't falling behind quite yet-- You've got at least 4- 5 days to figure out what you'd like to do.
