    The skill tree is nice, but it's too outdated. There are new shields, new ships, new lasers, new events. Maybe up the max pilot points to 65 or 70 to accommodate.

    It would be cool to have a couple branches, such as:

    Healing - Those who fly Solaces or Aegis, or Hammerclaws, could explore healing options. It could have small boosts to things such as, "Shield Regen Duration", or "Healing Pod Amplifier", or "Repair Bot Buff".

    Aliens - Those players grinding NPC quests could use a hand. Add another Alien Hunter stem, maybe up to 18 or 20% damage (verses AH1 which is 12%)


    Maybe throw in some crazy cool one-off stems, such as:

    "Glitch" - Every 10 minutes, your ship glitches and doesn't record ammo used for 15 seconds. Idk, could be cool. You're throwing down versus a BBK and the timing is perfect and you x4 and RSB that baby down to dust and you didn't use any actual ammo.

    "Gatekeeper" - Once a day, gain 25 free gate spins.

    It would give everyone a sense of individuality to their play style instead of everyone having the exact same skill tree cause there's only one or two really powerful paths to go for.

    I'm just spit-balling here, but the overall idea here is that the skill tree could use an expansion or a rework. :)

    The chances of this actually happening within the foreseeable future is pretty much slim-to-none, but it's definitely been a thought in my mind for a while. This won't be on DO's to-do list until at least they get all of the modules introduced and finalized. After that, they would have to introduce an upgraded skylab so that players can get up to say 15k Sep with faster generation. Then it would be safe to add those every pilot points to the equation with the new skill tree.

    Extra pilot points** It won't let me edit it.

    I was thinking more like combining:
    Alien hunter and bounty hunter, or engineering and ship hull, or shield mechanics and shield engineering, or detonation and explosives. I believe this would solve some of the issues.
