Some Noob questions

Hi there.

Yeah, hope you dont mind me tagging my similar question onto here. I wonder about the abilities/skills/specialties figures. I knw basically what skills are needed in each area from searching the net, but I'm not sure about some of the finer points.

For instance:

The icons for specialities - so they reflect "training" that the cre member has in a discipline? And do they change from being in a different position on the boat? And do they override the basic numeric scores for each discipline?

For instance, If you have a guy with a COMMAND and a WATCHMEN specialty icon, with a 50 in watchmen and a 60 in command - is he "better" or does he have more "potential improvement" than a rookie with no specialty icons but values of 55 in watch and 62 in command? If I make the latter a watchman section leader will he develop in those specific areas and go onto get a specialty icon in that position?

Cheers,
Dave
