I think the problem here is that we don’t know enough about exactly what a Klingon does to pilot a spaceship. If you grab a joystick and tilt it around while stepping on pedals, {‘or} is probably fine, but if you verbally command a computer with an audio interface and there’s no physical interface, that might not be the right verb. Reminded about the new airliner from Boeing, designed for a crew of two: A man and a dog. A computer flies the plane. There are pilot’s controls, but the dog is trained to bite the man if he touches anything. charghwI’ ‘utlh (ghaH, ghaH, -Daj)

(Does 'or apply to spaceships? What translation did you have in mind for pilot the ship?)
I thought of using {'or}, although I don't know if it can apply for spaceships too.
Perhaps {Duj raQ ghawran'e'}, although this would be limited to manually handling the ship.
Or maybe {Degh SeH ghawran'e'} for "gowron himself will control the helm".
