Put in a class system (which is rough and may need balanced more than likely) as well as changed how the intelligence stat works.  It's basically an experience boost so that instead of just increasing health or damage if you want to increase how fast you gain skills in all the different roles, you would want to focus on intelligence.

Class system added to make stat increases more worthwhile in the later levels.

Class
    Classes determine how many stat points you get per level.  There are ten levels per Class, except for S+ which levels up indefinitely.  The lowest Class is D, with the highest being S+.  The Classes are as follows;

DⅠ-DⅩ: +2 stat points per level
CⅠ-CⅩ: +5 stat points per level
BⅠ-BⅩ: +12 stat points per level
AⅠ-AⅩ: +25 stat points per level
SⅠ-SⅩ: +50 stat points per level
S+: +100 stat points per level

I've also started on an NPC spreadsheet for generating NPCs.  I want to make it so that one at the start we have hundreds of them, and then two a couple dozen or so come by ship every week or so, adding to the population.  These will be random filler npcs but I'll also open it so that people can come up with their own to be added to the pool.
