Help me understaned the new point system for captains

[Judge_Doom]

Mainly my question is this, hence a couple of my Captains are working on the skill point that requires 179,000 xp and are sitting at about 170k to 176k, after the update and the new shill point system, will the xp that I have so far earned on those still going to be there or is it going to be a wipe? and a waste?  Bear with me, trying to read the update notes, but it was a very long work night last night, so neither the eyes or what few remaining brain cells I have seem to be functioning very well today.

Here is the relevant section from the update post:

 

If, before the release of Update 0.6.0, a Commander had [up to] 16 skill points and up to and including 224,100 points of Commander XP accumulated for reaching the next skill point, then, after 0.6.0, this Commander will receive the same number of skill points and the same amount of Commander XP accumulated for reaching the next skill point.

 

That [up to] is my addition but based on other comments by WG staff I'm pretty sure this is the meaning that was intended.  WG, you make great games, but you could use a dedicated proofreader on staff.

 

IIRC, the skill point that currently (in 0.5.xx) costs 179,000 skill points is the 15th skill point.  So you currently have a couple of 14-point captains which are part of the way to their 15th point.  After 0.6.0 drops, your captains will still have 14 skill points, with the same number of points as before towards their 15th point (note however, the number of points required to actually get to that 15th point may change).

 

Note also that under 0.6.0, you will be able to allocate skills your 14-point captains more effectively, since the 5 point skill tier has been eliminated and 14 points is the number of points needed for a captain to take two 4-point skills.

you should lose nothing but will just have to reallocate the skill points
