Icon IT Expert
Description: The IT Expert is at home as soon as they are in front of a screen. They manipulate the nexus, navigation and communications terminals with ease.
  • +2 Pa comp.png per day (IT Action Points).
  • Bonus for developing certain NERON projects.
Learned by: Icon Janice 2
Icon Eleesha 4
Icon Frieda 4
Icon Terrence 5
Icon Unknown Character
If Icon Mush: Kept

This versatile skill gives free action points to multiple actions around the ship. Progressing NERON Projects, Laboratory Researches, working at Comms Centre and analysing zones in planets (note: only analysing zones, not scanning for new planets) are all choices available to the IT Expert. In addition to that, the base rate of success with the Hacker Kit is doubled to 50%.

Despite the fact that Icon Janice gets this skill early, it is of limited utility to her, as BIOS access does not require Action Point and Janice's main task is not research, but keeping Morale high. Nevertheless, the skill comes into play when Janice becomes the Communications Officer and starts to decode Rebel Base signals, decipher the Xyloph DB, connect to Sol and upgrade NERON. Given Janice's reasonably high position in the corresponding title list, this skill can be taken situationally.
