Jobs

Jobs are the primary training and improvement for any crew member of a Star Trader Ship.

Crew Members only have a single Job, and therefore perform more limited functions on board a ship. For example, a crew member might be a Gunner and therefore responsible for manning the guns during battle.

Officers and your Captain may have up to 3 Jobs, and therefore can play a much more flexible role on board a ship. For example, an officer might be a trained as a Doctor as well as Diplomat.

Maximum Ranks
Within a Job, Rank 36 is the highest attainable rank, whereas at Rank 11 or 15 you gain access to the Job's best Talents. At level 45 (the highest character level), Officers get a total of 44 Job Ranks, whereas Captains get a total of 48 Job Ranks (and can reach Job Rank 11 in three Jobs by character level 29). A crew member only achieves 36 Job Ranks by character level 45. The Jobs Skills table below indicates the Skill points granted by each Job at particular Job Ranks: 1, 11, and 30.

Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Skills by Job
Depending on the Job, its practitioners will learn a primary and secondary Skill, and optionally a tertiary Skill. The number of points in each Skill is determined by its priority. Therefore, someone training in Commander will find that their Command Skill is the highest of their Skills.
