Concept: Skill Point Layouts

So by now we all know that your skill point choices are pretty serious and that you have to use a respec token for each and every mistake that is made. This also limits build experimentation due to the fact that if you want to mess around with something you have to respec from your current build to what you want to try, and then respec back if it doesn't work out/isn't what you wanted.

What I propose is a build layout system similar to how we have different ships that we can switch between, I would like the option to purchase different skill point build slots. This would enable more fluid build experimentation and perhaps even diversity.

Thoughts?
pvp = small package

    I think that this has been proposed many many times before. I won't speculate why this is a non-starter with Cryptic, but clearly, it's not something they feel is a priority.
    "Participation in PVP-related activities is so low on an hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly basis that we could in fact just completely take it out of STO and it would not impact the overall number of people [who] log in to the game and play in any significant way." -Gozer, Cryptic PvP Dev

    My opinion is that it would cut down on character slot sales, which then would cut down on overall sales since if you only have to buy things for one character then that obviously makes life too simple and not enough grind.

    and you just stated in your response why it wont happen

    Sales = Money

    Cryptic = Ran by greedy Ferengis

    Idea that takes away profit = Never going to happen
