ACTA: When is a CQ check a CQ check?

[Harry Lonsdale]

There are a few situations in which one rolls d6 + Crew Quality, but are all of these considered a "Crew Quality check"? The only time I can find that it is clearly stated is for special actions.

The reason that I ask is because of things like Vree Telepathy and various Admiral abilities that affect CQ checks rather than CQ itself. Would these abilities work on damage control or asteroid avoidance rolls? (In 1e IIRC the Telepathy rule explicitly mentioned damage control).

I corrected on the forums before with regards to Damage Control checks, in that they aren't actually CQ checks and therefore don't automatically succeed on a 6. I'd take that to mean that CQ checks for Special Actions are the only ones that are actually classed as a CQ check and anything else that asks you to add the CQ score to a roll isn't (which means that those wouldn't benefit from any bonuses to CQ checks unless it specifically said otherwise).
