How do I CP right?

So my first main has finally started earning CP. I've seen guides so I technically know what I'm supposed to do (assign points per constellation) and how (in the CP menu). What I don't get is what to do with my measly 18 CP.

Do I dump a few points in each area? Do I put all points in one first? Should I keep them even, or max out one? Should I wait for more first and go whole hog then?

What's the best strategy for a CP newbie to start allocating points?

    These things do have diminishing results, so giving ten points in two stars will net you a better overall advantage then putting twenty in one.
    So I would say, spread it around in nice ten-point packages among those stars that support your build best, then start putting more in the most important ones (you should have it easy raking in the CP with the catchup mechanic anyhow) but never look towards maxing any one, but rather prioritizing the most important yet also doing the others that help your build.

    yes
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    Is the glass half full or half empty?
    I say, "Get a smaller glass."

    And don't forget that CP ignores fractions, points spent in fractions are wasted ...

    I do a few points( using few in loose terms) in a single one per major( warrior mage thief) at a time. I usually wait until i can spend 4 or 5 points( sometimes as many as 20) in a tree before i assign any.

    Which is a good point for new folks to know, for the majority, fractions are ignored.
