The chosen ship can perform any action it can normally perform, meaning either on its action bar or on one of its upgrade cards. The normal action restrictions apply, e.g. you cannot perform the same action twice in a round, no matter how many free actions you're granted.

When an effect allows your ship to perform an action it can't normally perform, it specifies the action. Some even carry extra effects if you don't have it in your action bar, while others do not. See Expert Handling, "Night Beast", Cloaking Device, Stygium Particle Accelerator, and BB-8 for some examples.
