Going over Starfinder GM Core, and I am wondering if I am missing something. What's the deal with Starship ranged attacks? It doesn't say what you use to attack with. Is it your ranged attack bonus? If so, are all starship weapons considered 'simple?' Do they count as 'guns' for the operative? I looked over the chapter and I didn't see any rules for it? Am I just blind?
I think you just roll your ranged attack bonus. They're listed as two action ranged attacks and specify both a gunner role to use them and either martial or simple weapon in parenthesis.
I would say they don't count as guns, they don't list a tech or analog trait. And there's no reason for a class that specializes in shooting people in the head with precision ranged weapons to be especially good at aiming ship to ship missiles or laser cannons with whatever console interface they use.
That said operatives can still be the best gunners and pilots because they'll have max dexterity.

Piloting a ship can also use computers sometimes, so oddly enough, some witchwarpers could be really good pilots too!

Good.
