It does. As we move forward with STAW we're trying to change rules to streamline them and make them more sensible. This is a change to that previous ruling.
Elite Talents are equipped to the Captain, Admiral, Crew, etc. that provide the slot. If that Captain, Admiral, Crew, etc. is discarded, the Elite Talent is discarded with it. If the Captain, Admiral, Crew, etc. moves to another ship, the Elite Talent follows. After all, the Elite Talent is a real world skill/ability of the person providing that slot. It would not make sense for them to suddenly lose their abilities by changing ships or for their abilities to stick around on a ship when they're no longer there.
