The design of the Mark II was later 'improved' upon with the Mark IIa, which adds one vital addition: A second chair. This second operator chair handles communications, advanced cartography, sensors, applies Swarm Logic data to tactical displays, and manages weapon payloads. Removing all of this from the pilot's responsibility allows them to more accurately and efficiently focus on operating the craft. While existing Blink Aces don't usually fly with a Blink Op co-pilot, the newer recruits find the option almost invaluable, as it allows for two good candidates to work together to essentially equal one great candidate.
