Don't Science, Tactical, and Engineer Captains get the same basic space skills?

I can't for the love of me figure out if Science, Engineer or Tactical captains get different space combat skills as they level.

What really are the differences between these 3 different captain classes, other than the ground skills you can improve???

    Besides completely different trees of Ground based skills, there are only a few abilities shared between captains for Space only. Every captain gets different Ground based special skills as they level up, and occasionally get different Space skills as well.

    Mostly complete chart.

    There are 4 common space ability that all captains get (evasive maneuvers, brace for impact, ramming speed, abandon ship). There are also 4 ground and 4 space abilities that are unique to the career path.

    You get your common space ability on grade 3 of each rank, your ground skill on grade 5, and your career-specific space ability on grade 8. Note you have to spend the skill points earned up to the specific grade before you actually get the ability. Also, there are no abilities gained in the admiral rank right now.
