@Noir: Taylor has some experience with mechanics, but would most certainly benefit from having a technician on board! Honestly, she would probably be excited to have help, especially if the person is skilled with mechanics in real life.

[quote=ImportantNobody]The pilot can handle of that on this specific command ship if he/she is good. However, I'll add an optional mechanic role to the list who can assist the pilot in such matters should she be too busy.

What about a general support character that helps keep the command vessel intact and can provide strategic options to the commander when he's focused on dogfighting? I could also just play one of the standard positions if that's a stretch, it's just one of those archetypal roles you usually see in space combat fiction.
