Specialization Points - Bugged?

feordilagorgefeordilagorge Member Posts: 247 Arc User
I believe that after reaching cap, captains are supposed to get a point each time their xp bar is filled. If this is correct, then I think it's bugged. I usually don't spend the point as soon as I get it but wait until I have five or six. This happened recently and I even got two just from turning in DOFF, R&D, and Admiralty missions, which occurred only seconds apart. When I went to spend the points, there was only one. I know I had earned at least five by that time.

Is this a known bug?

    You'll need to provide more specifics (ex. your level) and check into the bug reporting forum (general is not the place to do it.) Write down how many times you progress to another spec point, how many points were actually awarded, and anything else you might think is relevant. Even if this is a known bug, additional details can help devs track down cause (and thereby potential solution.) It doesn't hurt to add more in.

    From what I understand, different characters have different maximum spec point overflows that they can sit on based on a couple of factors.

    1: Based on how many spec points the character had BEFORE changes were made to the system at some point. I think that the changes were made to prevent players from stockpiling any spec points but I can't remember exactly.
    2: Based on how many FREE spec points the character has claimed and used from giveaways which adjusts the cap higher.

    On one of my characters, I can freely load up 25 spec points whenever I'm at the cap. On another character, I can get only 5. IIRC I have another character that can't stockpile any spec points.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Thanks.

    I don't know why they would care how many points you had. It's not like you're gaining some advantage by not spending them.
