Need Help P.I.R.A.T.E.S SPECIAL + abilities

[11TP]

Am I right?
All these capabilities affect only the initial skill points corresponding to them, and the amount of experience needed to raise them +

Power - only weight and starting HP
Insight - nothing more
Reaction - maximum amount of energy
Authority - number of officers willing to join you. How many? 3 points mean how many? 4, 5, 6 ect.?
and how much tax you collect from your colonies.
Talent - only reduces the amount of experience needed to increase in ranks.
Endurance - the same like power + with each level more HP.
Success - nothing more

Abilities:
From manual: Ability points are awarded upon achieving a certain threshold of
personal or ship abilities.
What's this certain threshold?
Am I right that there is an error and should be:
Ability points are awarded upon achieving a certain threshold of
personal or ship skills?
Whether the ranks and/or talent capability have any impact on awarding abilities?

And another question:
When i have all capabilities -1/2 or -3, then when I level up, I gain less HP, because i have less Endurance?

Your first sentence is correct. After that, just play the game and you will figure it out. Or not......

I like powergaming so i asking. Also i use PANQL mod and it will be very long run with lowest "rate of experience increase" (i like empathisingaming too . It is a pity that this mod is not compatible with Combined modpack v1.7, or i do something wrong, since these mods do not overwrite each other.
After a few hours of playing with 10 on reaction, authority, talent, and others with 3, I realized that it was a waste of points.
I really like to know how many authority points i need to fill with officers my ship, 3 fighters and 4 another ships with capitans.
I planning to put 10 to power, reaction, and endurance, with others with 3.

Ok, so each point of Authority gives 2 slots for officers.
10 points of Talent gives 25 points to every rank, and 30 points to new personal and ship abilities. Every point less for talent gives 1 point more to both. (There is 20 personal abilities, and 37 ship)
And yes, when u have -1 because of bad health or ship penalty, when leveling up u gain less by one HP, because of -1 on Endurance. The same with Talent - u need 1 point more to gain next rank or another ability.
Points in Power don't affect HP gain through leveling. Only when creating main character stats.
