I have posted this before in another thread, but since alot of people still confused about what skills to spend points in here is a tool that will help anyone to better build thier ship

STO char builder

how to use:
on top of the page (right under the URL box)
select Federation or Klingon

then Select your captain class

then on the left of the screen select ship of your choice (defaulted as Advanced Escort, if thats the one you want select another ship then go back to the escort for it to show up
it will then show all the station and abilities your Bridge Officers are allowed to use in the chosen ship, when you select skill, the info on that skill will show up to the right side of the page that tells you what it is

once you have picked all the abilities you like, the middle of the page is the skill tree just like in the gamne, the skills you have picked earlier will be highlighted in yellow
those are the skills if you do spend points in them will improve all the abilities you have chosen for the officers

you will need to spend enough points in each rank to gain access to next tier just like in the game.

hope this helps
maybe the fleet officers can include the tool on the forum somewhere people can access easier? just a thought

hehe no need to apologize at all!
I said that was because i didn't want people to think i was spaming the thread lol
hope the tool helps
