One question I did struggle with that doesn't seem to be addressed, perhaps may even need to be directed in-game, is the spending of skill points. I see ranking and descriptions of skills, but I am left unsure of what happens when I have 1000 skill points to spend, and Sergeant Rolfe is training for 57points. Is putting 57 exact points in more beneficial than tossing out 400 or so? Is the amount I spend beyond the initial cost of training appropriately reflected in the skill I gain, or would I be better off spending 57 (then 68, then 95 or whatever the costs may be as they rise) to increase my skill "levels"? Another way to word it: if the skill costs 57 and I spend 60, is the excess 3 trashed or is there an internal tab of all these remainders that eventually add up to become another rank? I've had to discover this as I go along, and I believe it balances out, but it would be nice to have some direction in-game or a mention from someone more knowledgable here.
