A specialization or skill is an attribute assigned to Kerbals that indicates what abilities they can provide. Kerbals, with the exception of those with the Tourist specialization, can level up by earning experience, which may give them additional abilities specific to their skill.
List of specializations
- Pilots can provide SAS stabilization while aboard a vessel, with more direction selectors available at higher experience levels. They can also use maneuver nodes without a connection to Kerbin. Here are the available direction selectors depending on the pilot's level :
| Level | Effects provided | G Tolerance |
|---|---|---|
| ☆☆☆☆☆ | SAS and Stability | 1.15x |
| ★☆☆☆☆ | Lock towards prograde and retrograde | 1.3x |
| ★★☆☆☆ | Lock towards normal and anti-normal, radial and anti-radial | 1.45x |
| ★★★☆☆ | Lock towards target, away from target, and towards maneuver | 1.6x |
| ★★★★☆ | None | 1.85x |
| ★★★★★ | None | 2x |
- Engineers can have the ability to repack parachutes and repair broken rover wheels. They also greatly boost the production rate of Resource Harvesters and Converters. Here are the repairable parts depending on the engineer's level :
| Level | Effects provided | Harvesting/Conversion Multiplier | G Tolerance |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☆☆☆☆☆ | None | 25% | 1x |
| ★☆☆☆☆ | Repack parachutes | 45% | 1.1x |
| ★★☆☆☆ | Repair lander legs | 65% | 1.2x |
| ★★★☆☆ | Repair wheels | 85% | 1.3x |
| ★★★★☆ | None | 105% | 1.4x |
| ★★★★★ | None | 125% | 1.5x |
- Scientists can restore inoperable Science Modules, like the Mystery Goo™ Containment Unit, while on EVA, and process data into Science in the Mobile Processing Lab MPL-LG-2. The scientist's level only affects the efficiency of the science lab.
| Level | Effects provided | G Tolerance |
|---|---|---|
| ☆☆☆☆☆ | Restore and activate experiments while on EVA | 1x |
| ★☆☆☆☆ | Research at 5x speed in lab | 1.05x |
| ★★☆☆☆ | Research at 9x speed in lab | 1.1x |
| ★★★☆☆ | Research at 13x speed in lab | 1.15x |
| ★★★★☆ | Research at 17x speed in lab | 1.2x |
| ★★★★★ | Research at 21x speed in lab | 1.25x |
- Tourists have no special skills and can not EVA. They are only made available via tourism contracts, which require transporting them to specified parts of the Kerbol system in exchange for Funds.
No experience specialization override
When playing with no Kerbal experience in the difficulty settings, some specializations are given to everyone and don't need a specialized kerbal[1] :
| Use case | With experience | Without experience |
|---|---|---|
| SAS and direction selectors | Pilot (selectors are level dependant) | Everyone has SAS and all selectors |
| Manoever nodes | Pilot, Kerbin connection or probe control point | Pilot, Kerbin connection or probe control point |
| Parachute repack | ★☆☆☆☆Engineer | Everyone |
| Lander leg repair | ★★☆☆☆Engineer | Everyone |
| Wheel repair | ★★★☆☆Engineer | Everyone |
| EVA science measure | Scientist | Scientist |
| Science restore | Scientist | Scientist |
| Mining | Engineer (efficiency is level dependant) | Engineer (always ★★★★★) |
The BetterSpecialization mod exists to fix this trait override.
Changes
- Tourist Kerbals implemented
- Initial release
