Increased battery efficiency while firing with lasers and heavy lasers.

This makes the laser and heavy laser use less energy per shot. This means less energy used with the same damage inflicted, less recharge time back to full power equals more high power damage shots. All in all, a more efficient Laser.

Rocketeer

Increased accuracy with all types of rockets and missiles, and ability to unjam them.

Moving Targets

Rapid Reloading

Normal reload times are 10 turns. This specialism decreases the reload time by 1-2 turns. If you choose this specialism, the higher your gunnery/large gunnery skill is, the faster you can reload weapons. If you get to level 2 skill (100) reload times should be cut by 2/3rds depending on your "luck" roll per turn.
