PyreFox , the combat suggestions are powerful but dangerous. Remember that talents work both ways, so an enemy could also pull your non-combat engineer/mechanic/merchant officer into crew combat, possibly killing them. I love your Intel suggestion though! Sounds like a good fit. I play Black decks.  |

Talent: Wild Flying
Type: Ship Combat
Job: Pilot (let's fill out this job's talents!!)
3 Week Cooldown
Requirements: Any range, self buff
Effect: Gain +30% Evasion, +15% Armor, -15% Accuracy, +10 self-morale damage per turn for 3 turns.
Analysis: Has more evasion than Evasive Maneuvers, as well as more armor at the cost of less crew safety in the form of no shield bonus and morale damage from the bumpy flying. Also is more defensive in nature as it hinders your own accuracy. Compare to the Pirate's Barrel Roll: slightly less evasion, trades armor for shields, harms own crew and makes it harder to hit. However, if you have sufficient accuracy, it allows for full damage attacks, unlike barrel roll. Also, it doesn't hurt your escape chances, so it leaves that door open, especially as it can be used from all ranges.

I'm going to suggest some talents that make fighting in low mass ships more viable.
Rank 8 Navigator Talent: Speed Trick -- Buffs ship with (5 + Speed/2) Accuracy, (Speed/2) Range Change, +10% defense for 2 turns (ranges 4-5)
Rank 8 Pirate Talent:
Target Engines -- Each weapon shot has an Agility% chance to deal damage directly to the enemy reactor for 2 turns (range 1 only)
Rank 11 Gunner Talent: Agile Obliteration -- Buffs ship with Agility% critical, +10% damage for 2 turns (ranges 1-3)

I've thought of some Pirate Talents that are themed upon the dread that I feel whenever seeing a damn pirate in STRPG. 
These are designed for achieving victory specifically through Morale Depletion, instead of ship damage or crew death, allowing the Pirate to get higher returns on salvage/ransom.
Encroaching Threat (Pirate Rank 5) Self ship buff; +10 range change; -5% enemy morale (or causes Crew Panic) every time ship successfully advances (gets closer); lasts 3 turns; can be activated at Ranges 4,3,2
Relentless Barrage (Pirate Rank 8)
Self ship buff; Every 3rd hit when this buff is active causes -5% enemy morale (or causes Crew Panic); lasts 3 turns; can be activated at any range |

Zealot rank 1 talent: Bruising Smash -- Blade attack that causes target to be debuffed with -16 bleed resist, -15% melee damage for 3 turns. Also, I think Rough Interrogation should be moved up to rank 5. It feels too useful for a rank 1 talent  |

Agreed on both counts. A bleed resist debuff could be REALLY cool for a bleeding strategy!
Rough Interrogation moving to rank 5 would invalidate saved games, so I don't see that happening even if I agree.

Well consider the case where someone knows that talent and has a job level 3 Pirate...

Yeah in retrospect you could just refund the talent point for it automatically.
