Woo, hoo!
All of my suggestions made it on that list. Woot! Woot!
I renamed Devious Thinker to Devious Wrecker 'cos 'thinker' is too vague and misleading.

Re: New Talents?
From a long, forgotten grave, this thread rises to terrorise again.
3D: Most people envisage direction in relation to a surface but your perception is free. Skills: Aerobatics, Aquabatics, Free Fall, Navigation (Air, Space or Hyperspace), Piloting, Tactics (Air, Space or Hyperspace). Reaction Bonus: spaceship captains and zero-g athletes. 5 points/level. Basic Set does not mention specialisations for Tactics but it strikes me as obvious.
