True, but it makes no sense not to max the base skill out, since you get more value out of the training points spent, unless the skill is complex where it is required to specialize.

The only other thing that stands out is the Drive (MPV) skill. That only applies to special project vehicles, like MARS-One, Science-One and presumably ACVs since they are not covered elsewhere. Not every Project personnel needs to have that. A V-150 is covered with the Drive (Automobile) skill, as that covers wheeled vehicles under 10 tons (I assume metric ton which is equal to 1000kg to keep things simple).
