====== Starfarer Skills ======

Starfarer's primary use it to plot out courses through the cosmos, and to guide ships safely along said courses. Many of their abilities come from a natural affinity to understanding the fundamental lenses of the elements, and this creates movements and attacks that some would see as magical or unnatural. You make pick skills from any tree.

===== Movement Tree =====

Space is not an element - but it can be warped by the proper application of them.  The Vacuum will tend to smooth out space, opposing any attempts to shape it, but with the proper application of Potential, Expansion, Force, and Matter, a starfarer can learn to twist space to their will - bringing two points closer together so that great distances can be traversed easily.  With the proper equipment, and a medical team on standby, a starfarer can connect themselves to a spacefaring vessel, their blood flowing through it as it slides through the void - but even a lone starfarer can slip themselves sideways when the need arises.

The skills in this tree allow you to call DISAPPEARING.  IC, you do not experience anything while disappeared - you simply blink, appear somewhere else and it's now five seconds later.

===== Control Tree =====

Most people are idiots.  They see a simple flat field and assume that it's flat all the way from the ground to the sky.  Starfarers know better - with the right focus, the right application of force, anything can be a slope.  you just have to convince gravity that down is somewhere else.
