Special Abilities are for officers and enlisted above level 6. They are assigned when the crew member is promoted. As far as I can tell the mechanism is completely random and not tied to any specialization which is a problem at times. The special abilities are found in Data\UPCData\UPCCrewData folder. If you want to edit the crew member special ability you must open a save game folder SH4\data\cfg\SaveGames\(Save number)\ while in port. Open the file ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc, wade through the file and find the crew member in the list by compartment and edit the line SpecialAbilities= . The file is laid out like the crew management screen and the number of the crew member goes top to bottom through each row on screen.
