    Looks like Intel will be the solo/PVP spec, whereas everyone's going to be speccing Command if they're on a team.

    Looks cool.

    Please make sure the runspeed boost won't work in next years winter event area. (and movement speed boosts like the one from the Delta rep in general)

    As the owner of several underperforming Tactical captains I'd like to see if this improves the survivability of my non-healing phaser magnets.

    Just sounds like another grind to me for sub par abilities.

    please tell me you'll also tweak the exp numbers, because i'm a fairly active player and i'm not even halfway through my specs... and only one of my alts is 60...
    theres a big honking problem right now with getting xp, theres an even bigger honking problem how the progression feels (i'll help you: it feels like you're not progressing), and putting in new shiny abilities will only make the hard-hard-nolifer-hard core one percent to grind through argala again, the rest of us will just give up the game eventually...

    Will we get a free spec respec with the update? Because I'd rather put all my points from Intel into command on some of my characters where command fits much better, thematically.

    Are the tears and QQ still flowing about the stupid WW race? I know this may come as shock to some, but this is still (somewhat) an MMO, which means you might have to compete against other human beings, and not mindless hit point bag NPCs.

    Get your toon in top shape to do a silly race or don't complain when someone who did beats you.

    Well, I guess farming exp with a full group who has the Extrovert ability will make the Argala grind slightly better...

    i think his problem isn't with competing. his problem is competing on unequal base. in a race where you're basically slower than an other racer, it doesn't really matter how good you are. did you watch formula one this year?...

    Shouldn't the player who has invested in that speed boost be rewarded? This isn't formula one where we want good competition, this is an MMO where it pays to have the best goodies.

    Why would someone even want the speed boost if it's disabled in places like WW? So they can run to the exchange faster on ESD? I don't think so...

    So, how badly is this going to be monetized?

    In other words, how much is this going to cost everybody?

    Was answered already in the Tribble discussions. It's kind of a funny thing about this particular blog...it's old news, since the discussions have been going on since last week. Would have been nifty if they'd done some Q&A from stuff that's been Q'd and A'd.

    Ground and Torp boats...

    since I dont do ground and my ship is all energy command is worthless... since the little benefits it does have intel would be better.

    umm probably for the next spec tree... seems like you need to cap out command to get that trait since they mentioned it last... that would imply it is the capstone trait.

    I want to know if the new Boff Command abilities are going to be gated in space the same way Intel is. If so are we going to be able to get upgrades or are they releasing new ships?

    It doesn't cost anything, just like the other Specializations that came with DR.

    Looks neat, if a bit OP, but unfortunately its all a moot point as long as spec points in any meaningful quantity are nearly impossible to obtain.

    Trendy, are there any plans to make point acquisition easier?

    Looks great! It's going to be a very interesting mix from here on out for skills/traits/ships. YAY diversity! Play it your way. :) Good work guys. The death of the cookie cutter builds and players can basically run any build and actually have fun. :D

    The previous specializations didn't have a scaling passive effect, did they? I don't recall seeing that.

    Could someone post a link to the Tribble discussion of this? I'll look for it if I have the time, but if someone already knows where it is...

    So I will kick said elephant- are you going to allow meaningful exp (spec point) gain anywhere in the game again? I mean seriously how much Argala needs to be patrol-ed(players being trolled)??? By now the number of Kazon and their "allies" that have been killed would = most species...
