Any new specializations on the cards

eazzieeazzie Member Posts: 4,500 Arc User
Now that I have completed all available specializations. I was wondering if there was any plans to bring out new ones in the too near distant future. If not, and as you still earn specializations points while playing, as those points don't get contributed to anything how about converting them into something else, ie dil, let's says you earn 3000 specialization points that becomes 30 dil, 5000 points 50 dil.

    I'm betting we will be seeing a new one soon.... My money is on Temporal Mechanics/Sciences

    Most likely we will be getting a new one.

    Only spec tree I filled up was Intel Officer. Got 0 points into Commando and Command Officer, and only up to T2 on Pilot.

    We might actually get Commando converted to a primary spec at some point, following the success of Pilot's conversion and the fact that we can have any Primary Spec Tree as a Secondary now. Why bother having a pure Secondary tree?

    Nothing has been announced so far, but there will probably be more.


    That said, your idea to turn spec points into dilithium - that was actually the original plan, but it was basically abandonded when the skill point exploit/fiasco happened. People were earning way faster than Cryptic had intended, and so they removed that feature.

    I was thinking science too, or even engineering

    We might be more likely to see Commando expanded first, but who knows.

    Think they've hinted that Commando might be in the cards, though you can't sell Commando ships, so I'm curious what they'll do there.

    I'd like to see a sci/eng debuff focused spec, less bonus damage in X situations, improved functionality of our non-damage res debuffs.

    I.e. -Energy Damage debuffs (Aceton Beam) reflects a portion of the pre-debuffed damage back at the target
    Power Drain/Shield drain also debuffs EPS or shield redistro rates
    -Flightspeed/turn rate debuffs make targets more vulnerable to stun/push/pull effects

    Well if you get all the current 15 points in Commando you unlock a Space capability - Demolition Team. It would not be far-fetched to think that a revamp to Boarding Parties, etc. would be in the cards for the Space-centric tree of a Commando primary Specialization.

    I can see Commando centric gear to go with an expanded Commando tree. After all... Commando is a ground spec. Sure it does give a space thing, but its primarially a ground thing. So... I'd see... kit modules, maybe a Commando kit (Career specific buffs), maybe a set of Commando gear (shield/armor/weapon) with a costume unlock of some sort... and the ability to train a BOff as a Commando. Might work great combined with an Engineer.
