Commander Bonuses and Traits

[Balibar (OP)]

Is there a reference about what these bonuses and character traits do?  Some seem straightforward, but what do communications, operations or logistics do?  

I am hoping that logistics make troops load faster onto transports.  

Do the traits have anythings to do with how fast commanders gain skill?  

What skills make the best Task Force Commander?

This would be a good tutorial/FAQ posting.

Personality traits are just there as chrome for Steve when he writes his fiction.  There is a thread somewhere about the bonuses so you could try a search for that.  Not sure it will give you all the answers though.

Here is the post Elmo is referring to (I think). It's also quite old.

That was it, thanks Erik.

Is there any chance we could get that page updated? Some of the more interesting bonuses are missing.

To be fair, it's only been 2.25 years since Steve said he'd update it "soon".  Give the guy a chance.  #:-]

That thread in the Rules Forum did not specifically mention Task Force commanders.  What are the most important attributes for Task Force Commander?  How do his bonuses get added to the staff members?  How do the total bonuses get applied to ships in the Task Force?

Crew Training and Rank, since the TF commander can't have any staff members she doesn't outrank.
