I am a NOOB and am having trouble figuring out the leveling system. I have all skills that I can purchase and want to get to LT. commander. I am at grade 7 now and when I put the mouse cursor over the level bar at the top it says I need to spend 6700 skill points and get three more grades to level to Lt. Commander. Am I missing something because I can't spend any more points till I get promoted.
As you level through rank grades (LT7 -> LT11) and complete missions you will recieve skill points. When you reach - I think - LT11, and have earned and subsequently spent 6700 points, you will level to LT Commander.

The 6700 skill points part - that refers to the total number of skill points you need throughout your LT grades. This doesnt go down as you gain levels. When you make LT Commander it will change to a new total.
Like an idiot I didn't scroll down, so the top 4 on the left I got to 9 but didn't even check to see if I could scroll down to find more.
That is actually fairly common. I think a lot of people make that mistake.
When I first started playing we had a totally different skill tree. It was easier to see all your skills but much harder to figure out how to train them.

If you get every skill to level 6 and 1 skill to level 7, you will have spent enough points to advance to Lt. Commander.
