Almost. The last time a character in one of my campaigns had JoT skill, I used
JoT skill -1, with a proviso that the character had some chance of knowing what
he was doing. Hence, JoT-3 means Pilot-2, Pistol-2, etc. if the character has
ever been in Navy, Scouts, Merchant, or had some other reason to know about
starship handling. An Army type with JoT-3 would probably not get to use it for
piloting (although a Marine might). I'm sure the -1 modifier came from the
rules, along with the quote "Jack of all trades, master of none".
