Yup, commanders need Knowledge tactics to aid attack rolls, and Use Computer to aid thesystem operator

it is up to Korstyn if she wants to retrain a skill, I will allow it now and now only, . After that we go with the standard skill retraining rules, which means only when you level

If I’m reading this debate correctly, the main scuttlebutt here is gunner vs. engineer.  Mechanics is an absolute requirement for Korstyn’s build.  She’ll be adding another still in later but she cannot retrain that out.  Her knowledge tactics and perception are part of her backstory, so I’m loathe to switch them out.  Heavy weapon would be a great addition but I don’t know what to replace with it.

I had not looked at your skills to see if you had any to switch with for Use Computer to make you a more effective Commander.  After taking a look it appears Initiative would be your only choice to lose to pick up Use Computer.  If you don't want to do that, then you could just wait until you gain your next feat to pick up Skill Training/ Use Computers.  Or drop Initiative.  Pick up Use Computer.  Then with your feat you take Skill Training/Initiative.  If Use Computers is absolutely not something your into, then maybe Ubi might want to pick it up and be the Commander.  The only real reason why Ubi should be a Pilot and not a Commander is because Korstyn isn't a Pilot.   

Of course we don't NEED to make these adjustments for Ship battles.  We all have our own ideas (at least I hope we do) of the kind of character we want to build.  And if anyone doesn't, speak up now so we can work together to figure out a cool concept.  But as we saw in our last ship battle, we were nearly smoked!  It would be nice if each of us attempted to pick up one or two Feats/talents/skills that won't steer us away from our character concepts that can also make us more useful in Ship battles.
