Hm... wonder what they could do that hasn't already been done yet...
well there also not a using drain/debuffer spec, though is drain even a thing anymore? could theme it after fight the various weird, extradimensional, and/or empowered beings. which could tie into the end of leeta's story.
I think the best way for the spec system to go is space barbie/role play, focus on thematic secondary specs for whatever they can think of. what to be a mad sciencist great here some bonuses that, want to more klingon/romulan/whatever here some bonuses for fighting how they supposedly do.
really it's very odd how few secondaries there are, they have to far easier then primary spec.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
note I didn't say race or faction lock anything, really it only takes one line to justify anyone using "racial" spec, "your experience fighting along x give you insight into their traditional tactics" if you not x. and if you are your familiarity with traditional...

only if cryptic decides they have to be be very narrow because reasons. what do klingons decloak and scare the hell out of someone, flying into the battle to save the day, stab people who pick a fight.
so everyone can slot a melee weapon, they don't even have to give up have a energy weapon. so thats fine. cloak is a little iffy but everyone can fly a ship that can cloak so isn't no different then hangers. and for ships that can't anyone can slot Mask Energy Signature or cryptic could have a starship trait that gives a shoddy cloak so they can.
as for charging into battle, well that is dealer's choice, there are so many ways to do that it isn't I'ld do something with Throttle or entering red alert but thats not the only way.

or that how build diversity works you have several way of boosts x. some overlap, others don't, some stack, some don't. example: if max out my tact consoles on a ship and I want improve energy damage there are a few ways including but not limited to:
1. slot consoles to indirectly boost it, like power or crit boosters.
2. switch to a new ship with more tact consoles.
3. slot a universal console that boost energy damage.
by your logic the console from 3 step on normal spire, colony, rep tactical consoles. and all those step on each other, right? why can those overlap and be ok but specs can't?

I understand their reasoning but it still would be a neat idea even if it does not come to pass.
It is time to revamp those Spec Kit Modules. White, Green, Blue, and Purple with no Upgrading possible. Just have one of each type that is Mk XII and unlocks at the appropriate Spec Level and let you Upgrade it as new Spec Levels unlock. Then when you have maxed out that Spec, the modules are fully unlocked for further upgrades beyond Purple and Mk XII.

Considering how much they get requests for Borg stuff, a Borg specialist tree could add a lot of fun stuff to either fight the borg or use a lot of stuff FROM the borg, when fighting others.
Aside from that, making ALL trees full trees would be a nice touch, as they really don't seem to be putting much planning into this system beyond "hey, wouldn't that be cool?". It already feels like every other system in the game, where they shoehorn it in, make a big deal of it, then completely abandon it until it breaks something.
My Augment is big on melee, so i wouldn't mind the commando tree getting more fleshed out.
Tier one: Autofill the admirality System with Tier 1 ships when you loggin
Tier two: Autofill the admirality System with Tier 2 & 3 ships when you loggin
Tier three: Autofill the admirality System with Tier 4 & 5 ships when you loggin
Tier four: Autofill the admirality System with Tier 6 and fleet ships when you loggin
For ground :
Tier one: Get free Dancebal when login
Tier two: At start of each Ground mission Summon 1 dancebal
Tier three: At start of each Ground TFO Summon 1 dancebal
Tier four: In each TFO each time a player uses a weapon, a dancebal summons, which cannot be cancelled
Probally the new Spec will be launched after a new mechanic for ships,
Though making a mechanic that makes non miracle ships desirable is quit a stretch for cryptic
For the Colony Holding they went way overboard in the conversion ratio for the Doff replacements for Dilithium. 100:1 would have been a Godsend.

Pilot spec does almost nothing to boost speed. It gives a nice turn rate boost and that rock n roll ability and that's about it.
I disagree. Pilot does a few things, other than go fast, and Rock n Roll. It boosts survivability both with Defense and HP buffs. There are even tier 3 powers that promote complete damage immunity for short bursts. Bob and Weave grants Crit Severity, and Lone Wolf (the clickable T4) is one of the best survivability "O S@!#" buttons in the game. Improved Pedal to the Medal is EXTEREMELY widely used (the Ship Trait)
It is more than just a go fast, it is a "haha you can't hit me CAUSE I can go fast" It is a "I hit harder cause I go faster" It is a "What warp core breach"
Pilot is amazing as a Primary and too few people use it imho.
That's exactly what you said - oh gotta go fast is some obscure reference to a game I haven't played since 1990, oh should have known
