The Leadership Skill helps keep Crew happy and increases how quickly Crew Members gain experience.

It can be debated whether precious FP and TP should be invested in this skill. Please observe that all XP gains are rounded down, so Leadership does not affect all XP gains. Given the thresholds neccessary for leadership to actually make a difference in crew levelling, Leadership level 3 is most important, the first two not being especially helpful, it's recommenced you wait until the amount of FP/TP/CP is relatively cheap compared to other skills.

Five points in the Leadership skill has been found to display a daily salary discount of 15% for each crewmember, but the amount paid in the log appears to be the regular amount. The effect of leadership on morale recovery are currently unknown.
