Being comparable to talents and talent trees of other MMORPGs, Skills improve existing abilities and/or grant passive bonuses by spending Space Points or Ground Points on them. Skills have a direct influence on the overall strengths of your character and, along with your traits and Captain Specializations, are a key to adapting your character to your play style. Additionally, some skills also unlock the option to craft new Training Manuals for your Bridge Officers, granting them higher ranks of abilities.

Skills are separated into space & ground skills. ace skills are subgrouped into "Engineering", "Science", and "Tactical". Unlike Ground skills however are set up like the specialization trees. The Space skills are further separated by rank sections, which unlock once a certain amount of space points have been spent, denoted next to the section. Players start earning Space Points starting at level 5 and continue to 1 per level until the player reaches level 50, for a total of 46 points. For Ground Points, players earn 1 point every 5 levels once the player reaches level 5 up to level 50, for a total of 10 points.

The ground portion of the skill tree is specific for each career path.
