It would be great to have "official" extra pilots. I think the multiple pilots would encourage more play if they were part of the structure.
As we have discussed in the past, there are some game types that haven't been developed that would be nice to have. Some of these could also benefit from multiple pilots.
Campaigns in which the pilots advance from one game to the next in a series.
Games that give pilots experience for new skills, or simply rank.
Multiple pilots would also work in a campaign that eliminates pilots from the campaign as they are killed.
Some of these suggestions can be handled by a moderator, but that takes time for the moderator, and time for all of the people playing.
Campaign stuff is certainly doable; another short-lived Blue Max site had a campaign option with experience and selectable pilot skills as one advanced. It also had a nifty replay option so you could step back through the whole game and review the action frame by frame.
