I spent a day on Tribble with excursions back to Reality Holodeck to see how my current heaviest hitter ship will do when the new skill system is deployed. I started porting my skills.


Porting by Numbers - The Big Skill Tree Picture



The new plate has no labels, just tooltips. I added names (sometimes with a hint).

In the new system

• some skills are like those we already know
  
• other skills HAVE MANY HATS
  
• some are entirely new
  

All treelets/chains got Numberz by row and column and the leafs are a,b & c. See Hull Restoration (Starship Hull Repair) and HULL PLATING (Starship Hull Plating & Starship Armor Reinforcements) as samples.
Points spent in Engineering, Science and Tactics unlock Bridge Officer Manuals and additional Skills (on each skill node pick one of two options) for that profession. E.g. with some points spent in Engineering you can pick either Starship Batteries or Starship Subsystem Repair at E2. Grab them all!
Finally I noted at each current skill which tree, leafs and/or unlock to pick if you want to have that skill after the change gets life.
I gave Catriona a light respec as she does not use torpedoes, not really. After reviving the old skills I had a bunch of skill points for new tricks and managed to unlock the entire Tactical options & manuals bar.

Listing the skills picked by a tree system must be complicated. So they didn't.

... than 9 picks in the individual single old skill. Says the Plasmonic Leech. The "Special" leaf might have given some refund. If Catriona were a Science Captain.

That should read 1.5 actually...
But this little fellow learned a new trick:

There are so many and I am getting slightly impatient... so just some.

For testing what that ship does normal patrols are too easy. I waited for an Infected Conduit Advanced, but these seem not to be played often on Tribble. So I picked the Argala System Patrol, Elite

From what I read, FAW 3 is now somewhere under the science tree. I'm gonna remedy this by using my last 3 mining toons and just maxing out a profession on each of them.
