There is a thread up at the moment regarding carreer paths and which ships you should fly to be succesful in combat missions;
http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=25273
This thread made me wonder though, in WoW you basicly pick a class and then you're stuck with it, however you can respec your talent points as often as you want without any real handicaps.
I've been reading a lot about STO, but haven't really found an answer yet for this question;
Is it possible to keep your char and the progress you made in the game, while chosing a new carreer path?
From what I understand you get to spend points on basicly 3 trees; engineering, science and tactical. You can also branch into 2 or even all 3 trees, so you don't have to be exclusively a tactical captain but can go for a combination of tactical/ engineering.
My question though is if it's possible to undo your earlier chosen carreer path?
If you picked tactical and got pretty far in the game but you end up being really more attracted to engineering or science, would it then be possible to reset your spent points and start over again as a new carreer?
From a real life point of view it would make sense since people sometimes pick a new carreer path in real life as well, but then again irl you don't forget all your previously gained knowledge.
On the other hand this is a game and not a simulator and it would be understandable that Cryptic allows us to undo some choices rather then being stuck with them and forcing us to make a new char.
A second point that is not clear to me and got me pretty confused was a post from Cryptic that gave the suggestion that eventually you could master all 3 trees if you spent enough time playing. Does anybody know if this is true or is the amount of points you get to spend limited? Personally I hope for the last, but I'm lacking info to make up good judgement about Cryptics point of view on this.
A 3rd question; does anybody know if you can also respec your BO's, or if they even work with a similar system as your captain?
