A ship's class indicates how powerful the parts it can have. The ship's class is determined by the ship's Reactor class. A ship with a Class C reactor would have access to the best Ship Parts compared to the lower classes of ships.
Higher ranks of Piloting will allow you to pilot the various Class B and C ships that can be collected in the game. More ships will be unlocked at Space Technicians as you level up.
Likewise, a higher rank in this skill will allow you to install a higher class reactor on your ships during ship customization, giving you access to better ship parts. Better ship parts will be available through Space Technicians as you level up.
