When I saw the infographic, it was like a divine revelation, I knew exactly what I had to do.
The TK himself (bureau which administers the SI tk unit?) does raise a good point that where STO's setup differs is that...it's less easy to transfer gains from one maxed out alt to another, which I noted in my initial post.
Less easy, though. Not...no transference whatsoever, since you can shift over dilithium with some juggling tricks with the Dil/Zen exchange and certainly can shift over energy creds, crafting and upgrade mats, so on. There is a certain amount of that.
STO is built to give an individual character great build diversity though: you can run different ships and different modular ground kits, with loudouts saved per ship - automatically stripping and reslotting the same gear from a common pool. The thinking is likely that people don't need so many alts - which is, admittedly, true unless you are a concept RPer or light RPer.
