For no particular reason, I decided to try this game again, and see if I could get my "light weapons" skill up to master level. The grind to get there was kind of ridiculous; I was already ready to face the Queen long before I reached expert level, let alone master level. (Even though I was playing as the marine, who has lowered cost of upgrading light weapon skill) I didn't upgrade anything else, because I was saving up all my skill points for that one skill, and then took out the Queen as soon as I reached my goal.
I've complained about weapon skills needing a buff for a while, but I have to admit that once I reached master level, there was a noticeable improvement in my weapons' abilities. I just wish the game was long enough to reasonably allow someone to advance that far. Something for a future update, maybe. :)
