These are the player skills available so far, as of Jan 12, 2010.

The more official and up-to-date version is available at sto-intel Wiki report on Player Skills

I also have some other threads on abilities:

[Praden]

Glad you were able to repost the list over here. It'll come in handy.

[MacAllen]

Agreed, my copy of it was old.

[Seetherius]

It's good to see your well made skill list again! I recommend to sticky this thread!

[sresk]

bump for sticky especially if you're going to be adding to this list.

[DocPhlox]

Thank you for the continued effort, Zeroth.
Now I see why they named a ship after you in STO

[VanValkenburg]

Thank you Zeroth!

[Kayos]

Nice job on all the info threads Zeroth. Thanks alot, keep up the good work

[SP3CTREnyc]

so the career paths only affect ground combat? I'm somewhat disappointed... I would think that an engineering captain would provide a boost to a ship's engineering functions.

*recalls the BSG episode "The Captain's Hand."*

edit:

rather, I'm disappointed that there aren't career-specific ship command skills.
