Opportunist

 is a situationally useful skill. In case of an incompetent, suspicious, or outright Mush titleholder, as, you can use your other skills (and hopefully an ally or two) to help take down the target and assume command immediately, gaining a nice 5 boost as well. However, such a power shift does have the potential to cause chaos and in-fighting, which could lead to your own assassination. And it's unlikely to come into use more than once a ship, limiting its gain compared to some of 's other skills.

Since titles are now assigned shortly after a ship launches, an Opportunist who wakes up early in the ship could potentially get assigned 1-2 titles in the first few cycles, providing an initial boost for moving items and otherwise setting up the ship.

This skill can also serve as an effective counter to - upon killing an overambitious or Mush, you can immediately take control of the situation rather than waiting for the next commander to take action.

However, unlike, this skill is lost on a Mush, preventing them from using this to stage a coup.
