I am not sure what the topic is but I had 150+ PW , a 150 PE, a 120 TD, a 45 JE if i can remember all of them but I MY PW made weapons, my PE minded and got base stuff and shields so reactors and my TD made Engines including the MAX solar sails. So i leveled out doing what they did each remember that levels beyond your 50 in what ever rolled over to your other skills. you could have fun with your other classes besides the PW.
but i do remember the roomer that Westwood was going to come out with more space sectors and 3 other classes and ships.
