Hi

I was sifting through various ship components to see which gives bonus to command. Several mentions a bonus to "social skills". At first i figured that meant charm/decieve/intimidation etc and not command. However command is listed as an interaction skill under the skill list. Later at page 207, the bridge of antiquity gives "+10 to command and social skills". This makes me assume command is distinct from the other ibteraction skills. Is there some definition of which skills are "social" that i missed?

There's no explicit definition of "social skills", but given the existence of Interaction skills I believe it's a designer oversight. It's an odd one, though, considering that several components mention a modifier to "Social"/"social" skills as if that meant anything despite Interaction skills existing since DH1E. My advice is then to substitute Interaction skills for any mention of "social"/"Social" skills and call it a day, because I doubt RT will receive another pass for errata at this point.

I count Command as a social skill. The only ruling that makes any sense is that all skills based on Fel are social skills. Another example of bad edediting.

If it not a social skill, not sure why not as you must have others around to get Command Skills done

I treat it as both. Sometimes I will allow people to roll Command rolls in place of Blather when dealing with the right kind of people.
