Hi, I was wondering if there was a way I could change from a tactical officer to something else, like an engineer, or a Science officer. Thanks for your help.

    While not a true retrade, you can spec out (respec) your skill points in either the science or engineer skills and pick up the captaincy of either those 2 ship types.

    A majority of the skills are BO based anyway.

    You'll still only have your tactical abilities you unlocked as part of your ranking, but atleast you'll have a science spec persay.

    Even just choosing a science vessel or cruiser can make quite a difference to your experience playing as a tactical officer. I'd recommend giving it a go without respeccing however, best to save any re-specs until you are sure you want to change.

    Yup, By completely ignoring my Ground based abilities (which is points wasted tbh), I've been able to max the potential of my tactical officer with a escort, aswell as plough enough points into a assault cruiser to make it worth while also. ( 7 out of 9 in tier 5 cruiser, and some in the earlier cruiser captaincy which carry over 25%)

    And your right, a tactical captain doesnt have to use a escort.
