I thought this might be the case (and as I mention above, should be the case). The familiarity penalties would make a good deal more sense then, for instance. However why then do the loaders of a piece get to roll ST-based Artillery?

Also how does Artillery skill work without an FO (say for TL1-5 pieces)?
