Each player has a qualification, allowing them to do the tasks that others cannot. Using their qualification ability, a player can bestow his/her abilities on another crew member. Qualifications grant the following abilities: Captain - (Human) Use of the main console and access console Officer - Use of the main console (only assigned by captain) Pilot - (Orc) The control of both spacecraft Engineer - (Night Elf) Use of the generator and molecular constructor consoles and other engineering consoles. Any player can use the laser turrets, load missiles and refine minerals.

A Captain should ensure that the following tasks are carried out by their crew: 1.Mineral Collection and Refinery Upgrade 2.Mineral Refinement and Storage 3.Cruiser and Vessel Upgrades 4.Weapon/Missile Construction 5.Weapon Arming 6.Power Rerouting 7.Turret Usage 8.Fighter Support 9.Damage Repair 10.Crew Behavior Control

You probably noticed that a number appeared over your crew member sometimes. As you do different activities and tasks, you will gain experience points. You will receive a skill point each time you level. You get 50 more hit points pr level, but 500 max hit points is the limit.
