I'm on Tribble now.

Be prepared to start from scratch until you complete the first five levels worth of tutorial/ earlier missions. They wiped Tribble (reasonably), so it's a bit of a slog.

Once you get past the first few missions and chat with Quinn on ESD, you should be able to Hit Drozana and grab XP to just play with the point system.

I can see how, comparatively, new players will find this seriously friendlier as skill trees go.

Ya I tried it a bit . I like the new intro video of earth space dock at the tutorial.


Ya I'm not sure I want to level up a test character just for Tribble though. I'll probably wait till it goes live.

Once you finish the first five "Levels", and report to Quinn it's just a matter of trucking over to Drozana Station.

Sell all the stuff you have on you, your ship, or BOffs. This gives you the EC you need to buy a ton of the EC/Dilithium/Expertise you need to get started with the Rep system and stuff. Which all levels with the click of a button, so no 20 hour waits.

If you want.

Otherwise, you can just play with the Leveling by collecting the "Test" packs provided, open, level, repeat. It takes five minutes to fully level your Toon. You can also get free respec tokens as well, so you can really play with different builds very easily if you are curious.

Main reason to do it, is just to get an early look at how the system works and start planning for your real builds when it hits Holodeck (in a month or so is my guess). Because everything is going to look and interact differently than we are used to. It's a much more generalist system now in some ways, while being more flexible in others.

Depending on where you spend points, it looks like you will actually be able to train your BOffs with various skills previously reserved only for a particular Class.

For example; it seems a Tactical Captain "Could" pump some points into say Science skills, and thus gain the ability to train some Science-based BOff abilities.

And so on... It's different, but I think it'll work pretty well assuming that the console powers and such are not busted. I won't bother with that level of testing until next week.

Anyway, the larger point here is, from character creation through Tutorial play-through, through maxing out a Toon should take less than an hour depending on how fast you go through it all.

maj!

I don't like the way we are forced to take passives that are useless for our build. I don't want passive energy weapon boosts and others don't want passive projectile weapon boosts. At one point you have to choice between two energy skills and another point choice between 2 projectile skills.
