Can I get skills other than from BO's?

Is it possible for me to get a skill and have my bridge officers have some thing else? or do i have to get the skills only from the Bridge officers?

Like.. I'm a Science officer, I want to use tractor beam and let my Science Bridge Officer have Science team 1.

Is it possible for me to learn tractor beams some where?
Or am i stuck with what ever i'm given as I level and have to decide if my science bridge officer should either take science team 1 or tractor beam?

    This portion of your post describes the way that the game actually works.

    Captain abilities are set, BOff abilities are variable. Captain skills are largely dedicated to buffing BOff abilities.

    This whole post sums up one of the main points of the anti-skill cap argument, but that ship has sailed.

    Ok, So getting any of the ground skills with the skill points is kind of useless for pvp cause The skill point system only help the BO's and you can't have BO's with you when you are on ground pvp?

    Or am I wrong and the skill points help you some how and not just your BO's?

    If you get all 9 points in a science skill yourself as a science officer you can teach that tot aScience BO to replace oe of theirs.

    But that is good only for PvE right?

    I'm playing a klingon and we have no PvE Ground content that I am aware of.

    No it applies to ship skills as well I trained one of my Tac fficers in a skill he didn,t have because he had the same skill twice, lvl 1 and lvl 2.
    You can also do thisat an NPC in Starbase so presumbly there is a Klingon equivalent.
