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 Janice gets this skill early, it is of limited utility to her, as BIOS access does not require 
and Janice's main task is not research, but keeping 
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.
