NOTES
1. I decided that giving a Language 1 skill to an Enlisted Personnel was redundant based on three counts 1.) Starfleet would not want anyone who could not speak the “mother” tongue. 2.) The universal Translator, enough said there. 3.) Considering points 1 and 2, Starfleet would run a remedial Federation Standard 1 class before someone would enter Starfleet Basic another words the narrator should just give it to them if they don’t have it already.
2. Starfleet would make sure that all its personnel had the skills needed to work as part of a landing party (Away Team) or in case of an emergency landing, thus everyone now has First Aid, Unarmed Combat, Planetside Survival and Personnel Equipment skills as well as Energy Weapon.
3. Athletics was added to reflect the hard physical fitness program that all recruits would undergo in preparation for service aboard ships and stations. Unlike officers though whose Athletics Overlay skill tends to reflect the officers chosen sport at the academy an enlisted choice would be more stringent and basic hence the limited choice of Running, Climbing, Swimming and Jumping.
4. On the reduction of law to a 0 level skill simply put an enlisted would not know much about the law but he would know Starfleet Regulations.
5. Renown, admittedly the most controversial part of the revised overlays but designed to give the character the basic sharpness and competence an enlisted person has coming out of basic and into the service. This goes as well for the added bonuses to various edges.
6. Both Engineering and Ships Services personnel have diagnostic specialization with Systems engineering to show the basic function of these enlisted personnel to find and fix what’s wrong.
7. And finally yes, Ground Tactical Specialist is a fancy word for that M word.
