Hi all.

I’m just a bit curious and have some questions about the skills in this game and how fast you can destroy
your character because I have been told that you can’t reset them, or?

When I started I felt like “lost I space” regards skills and where to put the points you earn, I checked out this
forum to just understand the meaning of skills and where to put them.
I don’t know if I got my answers here, it felt a bit thin information about my question I have.

1. How many skill points do you have at max level

2. is it important to Always choose skills for my character’s class, like engineering takes always
engineering skills etc. or have I missed something here ?

3. is it important to get ground skills?

4. or can I use all available points in space skills without destroying my character
I think that cover my “lost in space” feeling about the game and skills in it.

    1. How many skill points do you have at max level

    Currently it seems to be 60700. There are a few skill calculators you can try, like http://sto-builder.binarybit.ch/

    2. is it important to Always choose skills for my character’s class, like engineering takes always
    engineering skills etc. or have I missed something here ?

    The skills you train are all passive. They either improve ship stats or abilities from kits or bridge officers. It's important to have some skills trained in all fields to improve the abilities of your bridge officers, which aren't necessarily the same class as you.

    3. is it important to get ground skills?

    It depends on how much you like ground combat. Sadly the low skill point cap makes it hard to spend many points in ground without leaving you thin in the space skills. Again though, all the skills you train are passive improvements to the abilities you get from kits or bridge officers. You can still use all the different abilities, but you'll be less effective using anything you're not trained in.

    4. or can I use all available points in space skills without destroying my character

    I know quite a few people are spending as few points in ground skills as they can get away with because they prefer the space combat. Other than for ground pvp, I'm not sure that you really need to get more than the bare minimum, but I haven't reached the end game pve content yet so I could be wrong.
