Before adding points to anything in game, I write down what the stats are, then compare those stats to the new stats I get after placing points in my Skills. Here is the thing, I have 3,900 Hull Strength, 33.40 Speed, and 3,150.0 Turn Rate. After placing 1 point in Star Cruiser Captain (Which gives +10) and checking again, I still have the exact same stats. I zoned a couple times to reset the stats and the stats still show the same.
So if this is the case, am I wasting my skill points in Star Cruiser Captain?
You said, you zoned. From where to where?
When in sector space, your base stats are shown on the stats sheet. When in a system, your modified stats are shown. Try it out, check your stats when you are in Sol system and when you are in Sirius Sector Block.
Yes. I am certain I am in a Star Cruiser. This is actually the 4th time I have made it to Rear Admiral, heh. I play a lot. And as far as the suggestions, I'll try them out and get back to you soon as I finish what I am currently doing. As far as not spending enough points, one point should be a noticeable difference. Especial since according the stats, it grants +10.

It took zoning to a new map a couple times....more like 6 or 7 times, but it *did* update. Thanks for the help y'all.
Oh, interestingly enough adding full points to the t3+t4 on the test server only grants a 0.2 degree/sec (2.5% improvement) turning speed, and less than 1 max speed and less than 1000 hp. Which in my opinion is worthless and points better spent elsewhere, though just letting anyone else know in case they don't have a chance to try it out prior to release.

Were you in system space? You don't see the benefits of Captain skills in Sector space or on the ground.

The benefits of the captain skills vary according to the ship and (in the case of speed) engines you are using. See the Starship Mechanics link in my sig for details.
Turning Rate Before: 315.0 deg/sec (Keep in mind that previous to all this, I had three +30% Turn rate consoles in Engineering.)
Turn Rate After: 325.0 deg/sec
Keep in mind, I have no idea what my speed was for System Space, as I did not realize up until now that there was a difference and at this point have no way of knowing what the base speed is for system space. So in saying that...
Maximum Speed System Space After: 18.07
Scratch this whole post. Just realized that all information I gave has been corrupted, as my *Before* math was taken *with* consoles added to my ship. So the base *Before* has been corrupt thus making an accurate finding beyond reach without knowing all base attributes. If I find the base attribute information, I will repost my findings.

Also, you need to be at 25% or higher throttle or reverse throttle in system space to get your ship's full turn rate.
There's currently a display bug that causes turn rates to be shown as a hundred times higher than they actually are, so the turn rates you mention are 3.15 degrees/sec and 3.25 degrees/sec. You only get turn rates that low at 0% throttle. At 25% or higher throttle, a T5 cruiser at 50 Aux power should have a turn rate of 7.5 degrees per second before skills and bonuses are taken into account.

If you ae getting this, it is bugged.. and it needs a bug report in game from the tribble server..
the stats from a previous tier should be 25% cumulative.
If you went escort all tha way and pointed in starship captain at T1, then at T5 Advanced or Fleet Escort with points in escorts all the way up.. you should have a total of +68.75 instead of + 52 or + 54.5 as you suggest.
If you aren't getting that, then it needs to be bugged on tribble.

Also. You have to be piloting a star cruiser Make certian it is exactly that.
I know this seemes obvios but this, or something similar, has happened to many people.
I say this mostly because there are 2 admiral tier ships.
MAKE YOURSELF ABSOLUTLY CERTIAN YOU ARE IN ASTAR CRUISER AND NOT A BATTLE/ASSULT CRUISER
PS. it is possable you may need to spend more skillpoints in that section.
