Conscious Intelligence and Virtual Crew

If a ship's computer is running a Conscious Intelligence, does it still need Virtual Crew software to be able to operate the ship's systems?
 
Conscious Intelligence sounds like a single person replacing the Intellect software, so it still needs Expert software to have skills.

I would use it so that each instance has the same capabilities as one (extraordinary) person, and hence replaces one crew-member. I would probably use it as interface/virtual commander controlling the rest of the virtual crew.

Virtual Crew can replace many crew-members.
 
I was gonna comment, but AnotherDilbert said it better :)

I'd just like to add that with INT and EDU of 15 and several skills in the 3-5 range, a single CI should be able to perform several tasks simultaneously despite the -DMs, thanks to its high skill levels - meaning it could more or less do the job of a virtual crew program.

So basically the CI can be seen as a kind of intellect/virtual crew combo, with personality, at least IMHO.
