A couple FASA skills for ICON

Was just thinking (always dangerous it seems) of a couple skills from the FASA Star Trek game that seem to be useful for LUG.

Carousing
I see it as a specialty of the Influence Skill, I know others have suggested Streetwise, but personally I see it as fitting in more with Influence's other specialties such as Charm & Seduce. Would basically be like CODA's Fraternize. So I'm fine (in my own mind) with this one ...

The other one that I like & want to incorporate into my games is Damage Control Procedures. In FASA (for those who aren't old like me & didn't play the game) it was a skill used by Communications Officers. I see using it in TOS settings as a skill for them, or in TNG/DS9 era as a skill used by Operations Managers.

Wondering if anyone has incorporated it into their games and whether you have it as a specialty of an existing skill or a seperate one altogether?

Basically I see it as a skill used by the aforementioned officers to help organize ships resources in times of crisis to get engineering teams where they are needed. For game play purposes a successful check would allow engineers a positive modifier on emergency repair attempts in the heat of battle due to the efficient allocating of resources to the trouble spots. Likewise a failure would be detrimental and cause a negative modifier.

For this purpose I don't see it as having any specialties if a seperate skill. It would be one of the handful of ICON skills like this. This is the way my thinking is leaning as I don't really see it as a specialty of an existing skill ... certainly not of the Engineering Skill as it really isn't any kind of hands on work ...

Any thoughts on any existing Skill you would see it as a specialty of or of using it as a seperate Skill ?

I'm currently converting a bunch of official FASA characters to ICON, and there are a few skills that don't map exactly.

I use Carousing as a specialisation under Streetwise. Carousing has always, in every game system I've seen it used in, a skill in finding and enjoying parties, etc..., not a skill in getting other people to do things for you.

FASA's Streetwise, however, more closely resembles the Urban specialisation under Planetside Survival than it does ICON's Streetwise.

For most characters (i.e. non-doctors), Medical Science gets translated as First Aid. I also separate Psychology out as a distinct skill with its own specialisations.

Damage Control I translate as a specialisation in Systems Engineering.

There's no hard-and-fast rule, though. It's really an artform- you have to look at what a skill does in-game, and look for a match for the actual effect.

True enough.
I know the one thing I was thinking for Damage Control was that basically for the 24th Century, an Ops Manager's Shipboard System (Operations Management) or what-have-you would sort of cover it already. Easy enough to have the test grant a bonus if used in that way ...
Which just leaves it lacking in a TOS setting ....
I guess for Carousing I was thinking more Influence as indicating how much more successful a party-goer type you are, what impact you made etc, than the finding of the parties. I could see that as more Streetwise (Locate Nightlife) or some such ...
For instance, successful check indicate an aquaintance made that could be beneficial down the road, or some information gained. A botch means you're the quintessential drunken ass that everyone shuns.
to-MAY-to/to-MAH-to :)

Icon Rules!!!!

In FASA, the communications department coordinated damage control, but every individual was trained in the skill, which indicated to me that the skill wasn't specifically a skill in directing damage control, but a hands-on skill. Everyone on a ship is trained in fire suppression, capping off EPS leaks, patching atmoshere leakes and the like.
