Leg Sweep I vs Leg Sweep II

In general is there a great difference between BO Abilities that are located in different rank tiers?

Is it a poor idea for me to max out my HY Torp I instead of waiting and maxing out a HY Torp rank II or III?

I haven't spent many of my BO points yet because I fear maxing out a bunch of skills just to wind up replacing them with a higher ranked one later and swapping out the original.

    Well, there is some overlap, yes.

    But you should have enough officer points to max out the skills for all officers that fit onto your ship's stations and have enough points left over to swap a skill out then and when (at least past level 10 or so). Also you will -always- gain more Officer skillpoints, even at max level.

    So spend the points, try around and see what works best for you combination wise :P

    Oh I do think ill move skills around to just better balance my officers but my question really is whether a level 1 HY Torp is just as effective as a level 4 HY Torp (not how many skill points its been upgraded, but the rank at which the skill is in the BO tree)

    Is it better to give my now Lieutenant rank Tactical Officer High Yield Torpedo II and scrap his High Yield Torpedo I?

    Curious question.

    Pretty sure Leg Sweep is one of the best abilities in the game. Nothing locks down a boss like two tactical officers trading off on Leg Sweeps.

    I just hit Admiral a couple days ago and I've swapped my bridge officer skills several times, all my BOFs are commanders and all their skills are maxed out.

    I think the best part is how the TO screams SWEEP THE LEG when they do it- and 6 dudes go flying in all directions lol.
