Solarian Stellar Modes changing and starting points

[Aseroth_Blackward]

I'm finding the description of the stellar mode for Solarian to be a little confusing. From what I have read of the solarian abilities 1 to 20, I believe it goes like this, but anyone who can provide confirmation or clarification would be appreciated.

At the start of battle, you chose to be either photon, graviton, or un-attuned. If you enter photon or graviton, you gain 1 point right away. On the next round, you gain your 2nd point, and the 3rd point the next round after that (assuming you do not change modes). If you change to the opposite mode, you go back to 1 point, and start over. If you become unattuned, you lose all points, but once you re-attune to photon or graviton, you gain 1 point right away.

So If i am reading this right, the solarion always has 1 point point in the mode he enters until level 20, when he gets 2 points. you get 1 point a round, except at 20 when you get 2 points per round, which makes no sense since the cap is supposed to be 3. Am I missing something?

The cap isn't necessarily 3. You might not be balanced.

Also, some higher level abilities cause you to become un-attuned so you can't use them every round.

Being able to gain 2 point each round means you can use them every other round, instead of every 3rd round.
