That is a difference (for the jaeger [and you]). I haven't met another species of ship (living ship) here. I'm sure some might exist somewhere (don't know why tesseract doesn't bring them [or Talyn]). It isn't wasn't. But I've known many pilots (their ships stayed in me). And I had manual controls. I still try to know my plane (inanimate or not, knowing her well makes flying feel more natural).
