Even if they’re at like 20k xp a pop its such a handy thing to have and its still more expedient to pay if you need it done now, but you can just slowly accrue them as you play
It was a very sad day when they were removed 
Please consider bringing them back

              Didn’t they say they want to rework the perk system so that you can switch already unlocked perks freely?
Pretty sure the fox said something along these lines…

              to be fair, a ton of things have been said in the past months. Don’t blame yourself for not knowing about it all : )

ADVANCED SOLDIER UPGRADES 
In the new Enlisted, we will make it easier to level up individual soldiers, and the process of ability selection more interesting. We will eliminate one of the steps in soldiers’ progression which is unclear for many players, remove the ability number limit and remove randomness from the mechanism of new abilities selection.
The first change is the shift from the sequence of “Increase the maximum rank of soldiers → use orders to rank up → earn experience to level up” to a simpler scheme, in which Personnel upgrades will immediately unlock the maximum level of the soldier (star), bypassing the unlocking of each soldier’s* maximum rank for bronze orders.
Soldier levels, in turn, instead of opening new slots for abilities, will increase the basic characteristics of the soldier - what the rank used to be responsible for.
And the ranks of soldiers themselves will no longer exist. Neither will the trouble of understanding this system by some commanders.
Ability selection will also undergo positive changes. You will be able to choose as many abilities as your soldier has enough basic characteristics! The limit of 5 abilities will be removed, giving way to more build options: go for a generalist with simple but numerous abilities, or a specialized fighter with some very powerful skills.
We’ll place the abilities in an illustrative tree. You’re already familiar with the leveling: you fight, gain experience, and use it to unlock the necessary abilities. Some of them can even be taken several times, increasing their effect. As long as free soldier characteristics allow, of course.
You can also reset most abilities and repurpose a soldier for a different tactic if you suddenly feel like it. You won’t need to gain experience all over again.
