I'm not a min/maxer, so I can't really tell you what the absolute best build is for whatever class/ship you're running. Best I can do is point you toward the STO Academy Build Sharer and Skill Planner. There's also the STO wiki page on Skills for a more general explanation of what they do. A lot depends on what kind of ship you're flying and what abilities you have your BOffs using, but there is a lot more flexibility in the newer system and it's easier to switch between ship types without having to do a total respec.|

Is there any guide I can reference that will explain to a complete novice what skills should be chosen for what build types? The amount of information and options just appears staggering at this point. Ground skills, space skills, bridge officer skills, consoles, equipment, ship equipment.

My main, for example, is a tactical captain who usually flies science ships. Her points are distributed more heavily in the appropriate science skills. But, when I'm doing a Special Task Force, I have her fly an escort. She's not specifically specced for escorts, so she's not really getting the most out of the damage they can do, but she's not uselessly gimped, either.
Goodbye, I guess.

We had our first fleet event yesterday, and I think it went very well. It was a run of several of the Borg Special Task Forces, starting with Infected. Had a few deaths, but there's not really a death penalty. Hopefully we'll be able to make it a weekly thing, and maybe even add a few other events to the schedule.
