Not having access to Tribble, I get only two attempts per character to build my skills (unless, of course, I want to pay lots).
The skills selection process is too daunting to even start, I have no idea what my tree is going to look like towards the end of the process so I have no idea at the beginning where to put the first points to get me to where I might like to be.
Call me chicken if you like, but the thought of putting a bunch of points in the wrong place and then not being able to change them stops me in my tracks.
It was a big things for me to respec under the old system, but at least I could tweak it until I was satisfied.
So unless there's an "un-do" or "confirm/reset" coming soon, I'm "on break" as far as missions go, at least until there's a plethora of nicely tested builds posted for me to copy.

Why don't you have access to tribble? Tribble is not locked to anyone at this time.
Remember you still need to hit a certain amount of points taken to hit the next tier, AND the return on the higher pip taken is not as much as the previous pip (so one level in a skill provides the most boost, the second is intermediate and the third is small).
With that in mind, the scary thought of what to take in the first tier is ... 1 pip in almost everything. I mean you NEED to take some to get to tier 2. And you NEED damage to a weapon choice (likely energy). Every ship could use some hull hit points, some shield boosts, etc, etc, etc.
It was my experience on Tribble that tier 1 no matter what I ended up at, I usually had 2 pips taken in most of the skills there.
That gets you started at least.
Good luck. And at the heart of your feedback, I absolutely agree, an undo button or some sort of capability to move things around before being "locked in" to a build is totally needed.
Usually once you do the character copy option, the characters are available on tribble immediately. However once you have the shard option for tribble, you'll be in for a patch.
They haven't ignored it. They have said they cannot implement a system for this in time for planned release of Season 11.5, the programming time for it is not available for it. It could be they still end up implementing it eventually (though I have my doubts about that.)
Excuses. Pretty sure we all could have lived with waiting till it came out since its probably the most important part of the skill update. But yea, cash grab.
Well, they have. For the time being. kodachikuno was right, they're doing a cash-grab on the tokens and later on they will magically have time to implement it. They're laughing all the way to the bank, and most people won't even notice they're getting robbed. Some time later on there'll be another revamp, same TRIBBLE. Oh, and lets not forget T7 ships that probably will come at some point, with another reskinned T5/T6 ship collection. lol.
Of course we could have all lived with waiting for the change, but we can all live without the game altogether, so that's meaningless. And you know what happens when things gets rescheduled? You get stuff like the Berlin airport or the Deep Space Nine revamp. Stuff that never seems to get finished.
I would suggest that everyone does this on Tribble first.
Even with just one character I'm getting a feel for how each of the others needs to be done.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
Imperfect World,,,,,lol
We could have implemented the system and just announced it without additional FAQ's, updating the skill blog text to reflect relevant updated information, hosted a livestream Q/A session, kept it on Tribble for weeks at a time urging people to experiment and play with the system to get used to it, reset people's skill bars, give them a free respec token, or put Skill Retrain tokens on sale for 40% off.
But you know what? We did. We addressed openly that we couldn't implement that function into the system and if you can't take that for face value as well as all the other things that were done in order to help ease you into this system, then you're simply looking for reasons to be angry. I have not the patience or the mind for that.
