Is it possible to TOTALLY FILL OUT the "Skill Tree"

in The Academy
I realize that this might be deemed a "STUPID-QUESTION", but I want to make sure that when I create a character, I am not overlooking anything that will make the character as strong as it can be.

I mean, when I create a new character, and I decide that I want to put that character on a 'TACTICAL' path, I spend so much time focusing on the 'TACTICAL' aspects of the character, that I wind up 'neglecting' the 'SCIENCE', or 'ENGINEERING'/'SUPPORT', parts of the character, and the result is, I let those skills 'atrophy'.

What I'm asking is, how do I PREVENT THIS?

Thanking you in advance for your help.

    Over the course of your career, you get 46 total points.

    It is not possible to take every skill, there are 88 total skills. You will have to plan ahead or respec your character later.

    You can use the STO Academy Build Planner to plan out your path in advance.

    This is one of STO's worst features, you have to do it 'on the fly' without any knowledge of how many total points you get and if you make one mistake you have to use Zen to fix it. The best way is to plan out your skill tree in advance and then just follow it as you progress.

    Thankfully, you can't fill all the trees. You should have to chose what you want to do, not just what you want to do first.
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    I think it comes up short...... 4 more points and it would be great, I just wish they would allow us more wealthy players buy additional skill tree points with ZEN up to 4 more, and if you retain you loose them.

    Im not a wealthy player...But I wouldnt know what to do with skill points bought from Zen...Seem a little P2W to me..I much prefer the F2P model.

    You don't buy skill points with Zen, you use Zen to respec if you don't have any respec tokens

    That was a backhanded suggestion from Pryor.

    Terrible idea, we have plenty of points already. Not sure why you think you have to be 'wealthy' to buy Zen, but whatever.

    well if u like to deal with skill Points - how About to remove a single Point (random one spend) for dying in advanced/elite TFO? You will get 1 back after u earned the next spec Point? Would be fun if u join a RTFO and spawn in Hive Onslaught Advanced. :)

    nice u wasted so much time in your sig - i do not see it anyway :)
