3. Navigation (Hyperspace) - to plot the desired course through jumpspace
4. Mechanic (Jump Drive) - to activate the jumpdrive and make sure that it oerates within necessary parameters.
I never understood why it is Mechanic (Jump Drive), though. Mechanic is usually a skill to repair or maintain. Skills to operate are Piloting or Electronics Operations ...
