From my Chat log:

[CombatAlert] Captain, our enemy's facing shields are down!
[CombatAlert] Captain, our forward shield is down!
That's got them. Excellent work. We'll send over a pacification party and take the suspect into custody.
[NumericReceived] You received 2,600 Expertise
[NumericReceived] You received 1 Captain Specialization Point
[NumericLost] You lost 156,633 Specialization Experience
[NumericLost] You lost 156,500 Specialization Experience
[ItemReceived] Item acquired: Delta Alliance Mark Package

Huh ? So I get a spec point and instant loose 156k Xp. Meaning ?

    Possibly that's Cryptic's method of resetting you down to the beginning of grinding to the next spec point?
    Hey I just vaped you, and this is crazy;
    But here's my frequency, so hail me maybe?

    Wow, the efford they invested to program this. ^^

    Anyhow, we can now figure out the next update to the spec tree. 156k xp needed per spec level, 60 levels in total. Average player makes maybe 20 k xp a day. Possibly a new spec will come, when the average player has 30 spec points.

    Doing 20k xp a day, he needs 234 days to reach that limit.

    Yeah, I noticed the same thing.

    It looks like it resets the XP after you earn a spec point, but it's actually deducting the specialization experience twice. Wonder what it's actually doing behind the scenes?

    I guess they've given up on rewarding players anything for excess spec points.

    True. I wonder if the double xp drain has some unintended consequeneces.
