Commander progress in logistic?

[vorpal+5 (OP)]

Hi,

I don't recall having seen any commander progresses in logistic, am I right? Should they not gain that after some experience in freighters or troops transports operations?

They will in C# Aurora.

Odd.  I put commanders in Logistics TF slots, and they pick up logistics rating.  In conventional starts, I create a bunch of dummy Task Forces to train commanders in operations, intelligence and communications and logistics, so when I have ships that need them, I have trained commanders for the role.

Logistics, Terraforming, Mining and Factory Ops don't seem to improve for naval commanders.   You can train most other skills by "use" or putting them in a staff job but not those ones.

They improve in TF command roles but now when captaining a ship. So a commander with Logistic skill never improves that skill while captaining a cargo ship. At least that's been my observation.
