Your crew have a skill and a skill potential with the new system. They level up their skill as they work up to the maximum of the skill potential. There is currently no way to improve or degrade the skill potential once you are in-game that I am aware of.
intelligence effects how much potential they can have

The new update is still in the experimental branch, but if you are in that then yeah, they level up in skills as they do related tasks!

Will skill potentials affect characters generated from older games, or do I have to start a new game for it to take effect?

Yeah REALLY want to start a new save for Alpha14 (Experimental). Many changes can be handled with ship rebuilds, but unlocking skill growth needs save editing to do it properly.

Your existing crew would be with the old stats, while newly found crew would have the new stats. The power system is also completely reworked. It is highly recommended to start a new game.

Roger that! I don't mind starting a new game, the game's fun anyway.

I don't get it. How many bugs does my crew have to pistol whip to level up? Seems like a lot.

I know how you feel, it does seem to take forever, for low skilled characters to train up to higher levels. One would think it takes longer at high levels for it to increase, but oh well.

Generally if I see someone with level 1, or level 2 skill, which means pistol only, and I see they can get higher skill levels, I try to put them with an experienced unit with better weapons with them, to get them leveled up, still a slow process though.
