[[Pack|Clan]] sigils and [[Forerunner]] glyphs are hand-carved into the hulls to signify battle honours and damage scars, and the pilots of each ship formed close-knit packs that ate, roguht and died together. Brute pilots were not afforded the training given to their Elite conterparts, but their human pilots soon learned to fear them the most.<ref name="WFSeraph"/> Though uncommon, [[Unggoy]] are also known to be able to pilot Banshees, albeit clumsily.<ref name="gruntpilot">'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page ??''</ref> | ||
Covenant strikecraft pilots connect to their flight systems using direct [[neural interface]]s, which employ very minimal safety cutouts or filters. The pilot's body is rendered immobile to prevent self-injury and agony is inflicted in exchange for superior control of the ship. The Sangheili enter battle-meditation before completing the machine link protocols to control the pain, while Jiralhanae pilots embrace the interface burn to trigger their own focus.<ref name="WFSeraph"/> In addition, the Sangheili-developed [[Flight harness]] also features a hyper-wave link for cleaner craft interactions and a mouth piece that retains a multi-port for use with older [[Tarasque heavy fighter]]s and [[Gigas-class fighter-bomber]]s. The more compact deltoid armor has less of an impact on the elite's range of motion in the cramped compartments of subluminal space craft and reduces overall fatigue in multi-phase interdiction missions. The less cumbersome cage utilizes aligned composites to postpone the onset of fatigue and the explicit primary environment multi-port is less restrictive than older helmet multi-port.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''armor description''</ref> | Covenant strikecraft pilots connect to their flight systems using direct [[neural interface]]s, which employ very minimal safety cutouts or filters.
