Part One: More Skill to Earn in STO

2010-02-24

We know the skills do not make sense, we changed the system right before launch cause we think we can make more money. We will some time get arround to fixing it we think some time this year, we hope. The level cap(star trek online gold) will be increased to Rear Admiral Grade 10 in a larger update later this year. Additionally, a new Respec system will be added. At that point, you can earn more Skill Points and purchase and rearrange your skills. In STO, we guess the 1-2 months thing got tossed out once they realized just how screwed it is. There is hardly no point, though these skills currently become less useful in the endgame. However, we are in the process of changing this. All ship skills will grant some bonus to the ship above it. So an Assault Cruiser will benefit from Starship Captain, Exploration Cruiser Captain and Assault Cruiser Captain, Cruiser Captain, Heavy Cruiser Captain, but it will get the most benefit from Assault Cruiser Captain Skill. So if you want to maximize your Assault Cruiser, you will need all those skills. Note, the Assault Cruiser will not gain any benefit from the Star Cruiser Captain skill and vice-versa. The bonuses only affect ships upwards along the tree, not laterally.
