Generic Ship Class and Starship Captain Skills

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Please extend the starship captain skills that cover all ships, and all ships in a given class, through tier 5. These general skills could provide somewhat less bonuses than the ship specific ones, but would greatly ease the pain and annoyance of swapping ships at VA1. Adding generic skills would also likely convince more people to spring for two or more different retrofit ships, since they could use them regularly with less respeccing. Of course I do not know Cryptic's revenue details, but I am guessing the increased sale of ships would outweigh any lost revenue on respec tokens.

The skill lines that should extend through tier 5 are:

(1) Starship Captain (most general; least benefit)
(2) Cruiser Captain
(3) Escort Captain
(4) Science Veseel Captain

    Personally, I always felt that skill with a refit should refer back to the original ship's skill, plus perhaps a "Refit" skill at Tier 5. So for instance if you have a Defiant-R, the points you already spent for the Tier 4 Defiant would count towards it.

    Doesn't do anything for the Galaxy-X (unless you apply the Tier 4 Galaxy skill) and D'Kyr, though.
