As a human, you get Fluency (English) automatically. It's not in the rules, but you can take Fluency in another Earth language if it fits your character concept.Improved Initiative is fine - does the same as usual (+4 Init).Precise Shot requires a +6 BAB in this game, but you could take Point Blank Shot (does the usual), or Weapon Focus (ppg). Other possibilities could be:Nerves of Steel - you ignore suppression fire.Armour Familiarity - reduce armour check penalty by 2Brawler - lethal damage with unarmed attacks, no AoO, +2 to bull rush and grapple.Dogfighter (but needs 6 ranks in Pilot) - +4 bonus to setting up and avoiding targetting runs.Evasive Action (6 ranks Pilot again) - +4 to defensive maneuvres.Fire Control (Ops (gunnery and sensors  4 ranks each) -  +4 to attain and hold lock on target.Independently Wealthy - gain 1000 cr/monthLightning Relaod - reload as free actionMartial Arts - lethal damage unarmed, no AoO, +2 to disarm and tripNatural Athlete - (Athletics 4 ranks) - flat-footed less often, stand up as free action, catch and pull up automatically.Resist Scan - +2 to Will saves against telepathy.Spacecraft Dodge (Pilot 4 ranks) - +2 defence value in solo craftToughness - +2 hit pointsOthers that act as normal:Blind FightCombat ExpertiseDiehardDodgeEnduranceFar ShotGreat FortitudeImproved CriticalImproved FeintIron WillLightning ReflexesRunTwo-Weapon Fighting (plus Improved)Weapon FocusWeapon ProficiencyWeapon Specialisation (BAB +4 plus focus, not Fighter specific).---Combat Expertise and Dodge add to your Defence Value, since this game uses DV to hit, with armour as Damage Reduction.Improved Initiative is the start of a feat tree in this game:-Alertness - +1 notice, do not lose Dex bonus when flat-footed- - Harm's Way - ready action to become target instead of close ally- - Sixth Sense - Known when being targetted, halve aim bonus against you, cannot be flanked.</blockquote>
