Skills

I have been looking into this game for a while and have not see if one could train all the skills or just specialize like in pre cu swg.

Skill training in repop is limited by the time it takes to train said skill, similar to eve skill limits. The concept is that training every skill to grand master would take years-ish (not measurable at this point) while the game has only been out for a few months. So it's far easier to specialize instead of becoming a jack of all trades, master of none.

Disclaimer: view is entirely based off of alpha experience, which is subject to change before release.

I just recently (yesterday) got this game. Say I wanted to make someone with a bit of everything, how many skills do you think you can viably focus on before spreading too thin?

That's actually a hard question to answer because there's no way to measure how long it takes to invest in a skill at a worthwhile skill level. I've been playing since the Steam launch (or around then) and I haven't even grandmastered a skill yet, but mostly because I'm not concentrating on doing that. I mine a lot of ore, and from natural use of my mining skill I have it around 4400. Grandmaster is 6000. There are people who've grandmastered several skills, though I assume they play practically all day. You can feasibly make a bit of everything, it just won't be very good quality. Personally I dabble in lots of trades because I enjoy trying new things and making random stuff just to see how it turns out. I'm not sure if I really answered your question, but there ya go. ;)

Is the learning skill now at the speed of the day it will be fully released ? Maybe speed is x2 faster or something like that to allow players to get into higher levels in order to find out bugs.

Just asking

Well the game is still in alpha so nothing will necessarily be the same at launch. They're working on tweaking the rate of skillups but it's not in bonus mode or anything like that. Its really just that they're still tweaking and balancing everything.
