The 20th installment in the Ask Cryptic series has been released. This latest entry focuses on skills in Star Trek Online.

Beyond the skill focused discussion, we also learned a bit about the games future, which will include a level cap upgrade and a new respec system:

Kosch25: Is the low cap which only allows 16 skillups at admiral rank intended to be there until level cap is raised in the future?

The level cap will be increased to Rear Admiral Grade 10 in a larger update later this year. Additionally, a new Respec system will be added. At that point you can earn more Skill Points and purchase and rearrange your skills.
