Thanks, everyone.
I was thinking about trying out "Desolation" when landing on Spanish flagships. I'll probably mess around with it for a couple of weeks and then get rid of it. Luckily, I've made very few mistakes with my skill point allocations up 'til now because I've received all my advice from these fourms!
However, it's nice to know I could move some things around if I wanted to. I might even pull some points out to make leveling easier.
