important note on captain skills

there is a general a pattern to stacking skills. the first 2 levles of every tree stack and then from commander, on they no longer stack.

example:and this is a common one but starship command and escort captain stack, and then you get one more to stack on top to that, so you can have starship command + escort captain + advanced escort captain and that's it if you add heavy escort captain it wont stack with all 3 only starship command+escort captain.

however this applies to all the skill trees.

example: you can stack starship operations training+ starship deflectors, and then one more on to that from either commander, captain or admiral rank. you can not stack for example starship operations training + starship deflectors+ starship deflector dish+ starship deflector field. you can only have, starship deflector dish OR starship deflector field added on top of the tier 1 and 2 skills you buy.

this is true for all trees, the only exception to this might be the class specific tree's but its so ahrd to figure out if anything is affecting those i really don't care.

what does this mean, well basically no matter what you put points into, you are going to end up wasting points, a min/maxers worst nightmare. but at the same time no one likes to feel the are wasting points.

i would ask cryptic to put overhauling the skill tree as a top priority if they are goign to keep a skill cap, that or get rid of the cap rather quickly.
