The skills cost too much, and we lost everything to the ships of the damned. We can't really start again because we lack skills points to get to the point we were before.
Also is really hard to see what skilltrees do wihout spending points, and if we spend point and didn't like it is quite harsh.
Edit:
You should let the people see the skill tree and not hide it to plan better.
And lower the skills points a bit to help small groups to have a chance.
Maybe roll back to the state of the game before the patch?
