well, we will have a new tool (new skill trees), and only 1 free token. in my opinion, this is just unfair, most of the players will not have used this new system on tribble, but we will have only 1 attempt for using correctly this system. + the price of these tokens is still the same 500 zen.
the skills should have a real place in game, not only a way to earn money.

It shouldn't be too hard to get decently right the first try, it is actually a lot better in explaining what does what and why than the old system. If you're not going for DPS records, I doubt you could gimp yourself enough to be noticeable.
If you're unsure aim for a balance between the three categories, and don't take the third tick (Advanced, IIRC) of anything but the ranged damage, unless you have nothing else that you want/need.

Just to name a few...
A term largely used in MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) where you are given the chance to rebuild your character's ability set. This is often granted for free as a result of game changes over time that may have rendered your character weaker.
respect
a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
a software function that automatically makes or suggests corrections for mistakes in spelling or grammar made while typing
Cell phone
a telephone with access to a cellular radio system so it can be used over a wide area, without a physical connection to a network
Captain Obvious
In Internet culture, Captain Obvious is a fictitious character inspired from comics super-heroes. His main super-power is the ability to state self-evident facts. The sentence "Thank you, Captain Obvious!" is sometimes used in order to sarcastically 'thank' someone who just stated something evident.
OK, that was pretty epic.
This!
It's actually 2 per character. When you first log in after the patch your skill tree will be empty and you will then spend all your points. You will still have the 1 free respec to use later to change anything you like.
Personally, I think it should have been 2-3 tokens per character to encourage more experimentation, but that's another topic altogether.
Game.. set.. match.

Nice folks?, that'd be great. We can be for once.
Damn, that just cost me a respec token!!
Captain Obvious is far older than the internet :P
Somewhere in the last 1.5 years, Cryptic increased the number of respec's that drop due to career progression (leveling up), so my last three 'toons have twice as many as the first three...

Welcome to StarBug Online - to boldly Bug where no bug has been before!
STO player since November 2013
they want to do something interesting for this game. price of 1 token: 250 zen and the possibility to buy only 500 zen.
few month ago, it was interestig to use the dil exchange, but with an exchange rate at 300, I stopped; too expensive.
And I have always hated the fact that I can't buy the zen that I need; when I need 500 zen, I don't want to buy 1000 zen
Well you don't have to if you don't want to. But if everybody felt the same way as yourself (and have no wish to make monetary contributions to the game) it would be unlikely that the game could continue to exist.
As Cryptic does not charge for expansions and/or 'seasons' it's methods gaining money is relatively limited to costumes, ships and other small things such as skill re-spec tokens.
Not that you are 'wrong' for feeling the way you do, but similarly nor is Cryptic 'wrong' for trying to make a profit.
I'm on my 3rd respec, and that's just my first character.
oh! I spent already a lot of money in game, but it is tiring to buy x amounts of zen, when you don't need this amount.
And like we don't have the possibility to buy only 500 zen, I don't buy 1000 zen (the amount available for 10 euros). + the prices of all these tokens are too high.
I have always thought that the devs make a mistake of moneterizing the skills. but this is not the subject of this topic
anyone know anything?
That Vanguard one is excellent for space skill planning, and the STO Academy is best overall, if you have your stuff memorized. Good tips, friend. Now, maybe people can stop being rude and summoning the devs.
It was some option on the table in internal discussions, but never guaranteed. Apparently the bean counters prevailed here... (Because I had the strong feeling that there was a lot of internal discussion with some clearly on the side of "make it cheaper permanently" and some not so...)
The two best sites to plan skills are Aesica's site, and STO Academy. They're both up to date with the current live version.
