Changing traits ? A step to far ?

Does anyone else think the ability to change traits on the fly is.... Well.... Pretty stupid ?

I thought the idea of these traits and the rep system traits was that you effectively "Learn" something new. As in, the ability you choose.

The ability to chop and change them whenever you want means you are effectively flicking a switch and turning of part of your memory, or eradicating something you have learned in favour of adding something new.

Then when you feel like it, you just flick the switch and do it over and over as often as you like ?

As a person I cannot flick switches and instantly learn or unlearn something.... So why here ?

Traits should be chosen, just as they were and STUCK with throughout the game.

Unless we are all Androids and can download and delete things at will ?

What's next ? A career path slotting ability ? So I can change my Tac captain for an Engineer or Sci just by slotting that career path ?

This game seems to be becoming less and less involving for me. It's getting to the point where you don't need to make a thoughtful decision as you can chop and change anything and everything in a few seconds.


Right now with a few clicks of the mouse we can change all our traits to boost crits and dmg or go the other way and increase hull hit points etc for tanking if needed. With a few more mouse clicks we can load an entirely different ship layout with different boffs and duty officers etc...

Why not just cut all this out and just have us Queue for an STF or other mission and pick from a ist of 3 pre determined ships ? That is the logical next step for the dumbing down right ?

    Its only going to go 2 ways LOL:

    Alright Ground .... slots every ground trait including the kitchen sink.

    Alright Space ... have at it ... slots every conceivable space trait ...

    Sits back and feels somewhat unaccomplished ...

    The idea of changing traits at will is very stupid, but it seems that a fair amount if people like it. To me, it would seem a bit tedious after a while. Maybe we can get a doff that will do it for us.
