I think there may be a problem with my Klingon character. On reaching level 50 his skill points locked out at 1000 and wont go up, despite my skills not being maxed out and im not maxed on skill points, is it supose to do this ?
Do this, hit U then at the top click on STATUS, on the left make sure your name box is clicked. Now in the middle you will see several boxes progress, stats, passives and so on...click on PROGRESS. What does it say for the following:
Skill Points Earned =
Skill Points Spent =
Skill Points Available =
Expertise Earned =
Expertise Available =
When you hit level 50 you stop earning skill points and the max you should have is 366000. But you may have only spend 365000, and the 1000 you are seeing may be how much skill points you have available. But just to make sure you arent looking at something else also write down how much expertise you've earned and have available since you will still earn expertise after level 50.
EDIT: ohh and also at 50 you will have those 366000 skill points right? well on your skill tree it is seperated into space and ground. You can spend up to 300000 in space and up to 100000 in ground. But you only get 366000, so you cant max both of them out.
On the left select any of the faction rep like lets say Dyson Joint Command.
In the middle you will see some boxes that say Select Active Project, Select Active Project. Click on the box on the top left that says Select Active Project.
On the right look for the project called "Submit Battle Reports to Dyson Joint Command (Hourly)". When you see that click on the SELECT button at the bottom right of it.
The button on the top left should have changed to a bar. Click on that button again. Now the right side will change allowing you to Contribute Dyson Sphere Marks, Contribute Expertise, and Contribute Energy Credits.
Go to the one that says Expertise and click on the CONTRIBUTE button. Another pop up window will come up, at the bottom left of the popup window it will say how much expertise you have...what does this number say for you?
NOTE dont actually contribute anything...just cancel everything out when you find that number.
sure thing, btw if you want to respec you should go to stoacademy to experiment with your skillpoint layout before you commit. If you are a F2P then you will need to buy a respec token with 500 zen. Also here is a step by step procedure on how to spend your points if you want to put as many points as possible into space, and as many points as possible into the tier 5 skills. To make it easy i will just refer to the skill points as bars...each cell in the skill tree has 9 bars.
2) keep adding bars into tier 1 space until you hit exactly 33000/33000 (no more)
3) spend 10 bars total on tier 2 ground
4) keep adding bars into tier 2 and tier 1 space until you hit exactly 93000/93000
5) spend zero bars on tier 3 ground
6) keep adding bars into space tier 3, tier 2 and tier 1 until you hit exactly 173000/173000
7) spend 6 bars on tier 4 ground
8) Keep adding bars into space tier 4, tier 3, tier 2 and tier 1 until you hit exactly 263000/263000
9) spend 8 bars on tier 5 ground
10) tier 5 space is now available for you to spend the max allowable bars/points into tier 5 space abilities (or previous tiers if you so choose).
I know it's very specific, but if you follow those steps you will be able to get the maximum amount of points into tier 5 space which is 26 bars which is equal to 78000 points.
STO Skill point allocation is screwy. You get access to the next tier of skills but can still put points in lower ones. AKA the break-point isn't always clean. So you can end up with leftover points. You can stick that 1k in a lower ranked skill or you'd have to respec and carefully watch where you put things to get the most points you can get in a max tier skill. That STOAcademy thing someone else mentioned above helps you plan it out.

Skill points spent 365000
Skill points available 1000
Expertise Earned 448081
Expertise spent 0
Although when I go to skills it says
Available 1000
Space spent 284000
Space max 300000
Ground spent 81000
Ground max 100000
Looking at the skills tab made me think I wasnt maxed out, after seeing the progress tab I see I must be maxed out. Thanks for the help with this.
