So I've encountered a bit of a conundrum.  I have played through to the point where mining is pretty much useless for cash flow and now I'm in a part of the story where I really need to be equipped to handle swarms of pirates.  Unfortunately I spent all my skill points on maxing the mining tree and only a little bit here and there.  I did some math and at nearly level 40 it's going to be at least a dozen more levels or more before I get to continue on the main quest any farther.  Is there any way to reset the skill points so I can continue or should I just start over and forsake the mining tree this time in favor of skills that are actually useful?
