This will probably work differently eventually but right now it would allow you to eat your cake and have it too.
So what? It's not a multiplayer game, I want to have my cake and eat it too. I invested in survey/salvage skills, hit the level cap hours before I even got to endgame content and I now have two paragons, an astral, an aurora, an apogee, two dominators, *** tons of moras and other carriers, 10Million credits, 30 alpha cores blah blah blah. It bothers me that when I drive my badass paragons around I'm taking a 20-30% speed/damage/hitpoints/flux penalty over having my officers drive it.
I should be able to salvage effectively, survey effectively and drive the best ships and be a badass doing it. I want all of those things it and doesn't affect anyone else because it's a single player game. I think the leveling/skill mechanic is broken in this regard.
