    stowiki.org and sto-intel.org are your best bets.

    I love it. Someone asks for help, and you bash the developers. It shows a lot of character.

    If the skill system wasn't so... Cryptic... Nobody would have to ask these questions.

    I have to say that what i am seeing does have some pretty poor documentation. Do the skill trees follow a straight progression by that i mean do they stack with each other and help each other as you level?

    documentation is horrible in this game agreed. some skills will stack other wont the synergistic nature of the skills is ambiguous at best. respecs and a PTS will help alot in sorting it all out, unless the devs want to just tell us...

    Don't shoot the messenger. The skill tree is not a tree, it's a random set of upgradeable attributes that if they have any bearing on each other or belong to a particular skill set then we don't know because we've never been told.

    Seriously, its that messed up. Its also interesting to note that when you spend skillpoints in photon torps that the next rank allows you to use different torps so the points you put into photon are worthless now if you choose to use the new torps.


    Maybe Jedidethfreak can clear this up for all of us...

    If that is true and i will spend some time checking i will not be subscribing after my 5 days are up. How can a game not have that type of documentation especially since it is level based and the whole idea is to build your character.

    Great questions. There is a lot of speculation out there, but no math or clarity at the moment. sto-intel is a good source, but still many questions remain as to what helps subsequent levels, what stacks with what and so on.

    I read them and while they help a lot is still to vague.

    I'll say this -- the skill tree is certainly under some review in light of the planned respecs.

    Don't mind him, he's a one-tune knee-jerk reactionary.

    Waiting for reaction... :D

    No sir. If I had a definitive answer for you on how the skills actually work in relation to each other, as opposed to guesswork, I'd be happy to help you. But I seriously doubt anyone from the playerbase knows.
