Serously upset about new skill system. Seriosuly, make a dam poll before changing the core of STO!

I had it all figurerd out by now.
Make a good build, in the good old skill system and then ad some traits to overcome evtl minor flaws.
Now half of the good stuff is missing.
And making a "science" charackter with a science career, is virtualy not needed.
That is a bad thing.
Why dont you guys do polls anymore?
You would have figurerd it out that that way is not what most players want. Do get it together guys.
Major changes need the aproval of your majority.
And that is not the few guys, you have in your Tribble server.
Its not about tastes here, its about seriously gameplay imparing changes.
You realy gave my day the rest.
It was bad from the start, but you did it.
I want to kill Catbabys. (NOOO! OFF COURSE NOT LITERALY!!! )
Thats the kind of mood im in right now. *Meow* *Splatt*

And how does this skill revamp in any way impact careers negatively?
Try actually using it some before panning it, although I don't honestly expect someone like you to take the logical approach.
Can we get some hard stats on that?
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
No, really, it is. You get bonus abilities (for example, I can use my Sci skills more often now, freeing up some Boff slots that I can use for other stuff), with the combination of skills you can select more skills than ever before and there's even brand new abilities for hangar pets.
I'm as effective as before, in that I could literally copy my previous build, but I even get bonuses in some stats. For example, I never specialised in draining. Yet I can still do what I used to do up to yesterday, plus I'm much more effective in draining now.
As has been suggested: try the system first, before you start complaining. I'm in favor of systems that add more importance to careers, but we knew from the beginning that this weren't going to happen with the skill revamp. I'm still hoping this will be done at some point in the future.
But that may merely have to do something with the fact that the most fanatic players are more likely to get in the game ASAP, fill their skill and start queueing to get some parses. So I'll reserve judgement on its effects on power creep for now until things have normalised a bit.
Haven't even repseced yet despite doing the RA and FE so really it's just a matter of periodically grinding the admiralty then going back to my other business. Guess this shows how much the skill revamp and the tree itself matters.
Actually doing the work of rebuilding was mildly tiresome, but I can live with that. I find it hard to muster any sort of rage about this.
I found that as well. My ships are definitely stronger. I think it was easier to really maximize stats with the new tree.
It definitely was for me
Who? where is your data? Before the roll out was formally announced (back in February) have not noticed ANY forum posting on it. IMO if it aint broke it why fix it? ask the SCI players if they are happy now

With my Sci main, I generally run as a energy/sci hybrid, so my Aux usually sits around a setting of 75. With the new curve on Aux abilities, it seems my GW are doing more, but then damage-wise, I have also seen what feels like an uptick. Especially with the new Specialization.

I'm NOT...and see the other threads if you are really a SCI player is a SLAP in the face. ENJOY

I'm not quite seeing where the issue is.
I dont understand the issue you are having..I run an exotic damage build and short of 2 abilities (Tykens epg dmg, and DRB by about 300 dmg per tic) everything else is HIGHER than it was.
Ive tested my speed build for my wells, and when specd (in tribble) like I was on Holo..I get about that same top end (around 160 impulse) with only a marginal reduction in damage resistance for Haz and Aux to Dam (those are made up literally in my higher damage rez with 1 point in armor)

I agree...but I can see his point if he was going for the tac ultimate...but the same is true for the others too...You'll end up getting stuff you dont want just for the progress Pip (i dont know what its called) or the Ultimate.

This thread is another example of people hating all change even when it's good, and this is fantastic change.
