Techniques
Techniques are specific bonuses learned from advancing in your class. Most techniques have requirements; and many of those requirements are knowledge of a related technique. There are three types of techniques you can learn:
Weapon Techniques: These are primarily a series of +1’s based on a specific weapon system. They can add up to let you specialize in a particular weapon, or give you general bonuses for all of your weapons.
Piloting Techniques: These are movement related techniques as a general rule, but they are also defensive techniques.
Racial Techniques: These are techniques based on each race’s unique qualities. The only requirements as a general rule are being of one race or another.
