  • Pilot: Merchant Rank 1; Piloting (High Performance Spacecraft)
  • Navigator: Navigation (Space); Navigation (Hyperspace); various Electronic Operations skills.
  • Chief Engineer: Various tecnical skills appropriate to the ship components (e.g. Mechanic; Electrician; Electronics Repair; etc).
  • Technician: Similar to Chief Engineer, though probably not as skilled or broadly trained.
  • Gunner: Gunner (Beams)
What do you think? What would you absolutely make sure you include? Anything you'd take away from what I listed? What are your thoughts?
Add a Cargo handler and Steward, maybe let the Gunner have those roles as his duties are the least time consuming.
Cargo Handler could have Savoir Faire (Servant) and Freight Handling.
Captain of a freighter (especially a tramp) should add Accounting, Mathematics (Applied) and probably Administration. the latter not just for keeping the ship organized but also for dealing with starport bureaucrats. A form of Law would not be bad either.
