Slightly impressed with the story, so the Preservers first created the Iconians hmmm.....of course the cut scenes have bugs today so that was crap.....but i have to say the new Escort they introduced as Tom Paris' command looks pretty ok. Like a mix between the mercenary ship from TNG and the defiant. Oh and got my hands on a fleet intel ship greatly appreciate the more Federation looking hull!

I enjoyed the 2 missions as well.  Minus the bugs.  Also noticed that they bugged the visuals on the Avenger.  The left nacelle armor plates are off now and runs the visual effect.  The 2 space queues were ok on normal.  Neither group I was with could make all the optional objectives.

I can see the Iconians being like the Tholians.......just annoying to fight in space.

Looking forward to seeing what new ships are coming.  I didn't really care Capt Paris' ship.  Looked like a ARGO from Nemesis on steroids to me.  But if you go to Arc's main page and look at the STO link picture, you can see a Sovereign with a detailed skin from the movies, like they did with the Intrepid and Galaxy.  I'm kinda excited about that if they continue on that path, updating the looks of older ships to look better.

Really not looking forward to the grind of another reputation system.  Log in, do a queue, queue project, repeat daily........  Other then the open sector space, which is AWESOME, doesn't feel like much of a Season compared to others that offered up much more content.  I'm sure more is to come with it though, so I reserve being too harsh about it.

The lag was terrible. The game stuttered like I was playing an old 8 bit game. In addition, I use a Sound Blaster card and the game sound was crap. Between the sound issues and the jerky movement and near unresponsive controls, the game was unplayable. From what I could get from the story, it seemed interesting, but the bugs will have to be patched before I try it again.

Interesting so far, cannot wait to see what the new rep equipment brings to the table........also going to cry silently if it plays better than the set I have invested in xD

I didn't have too many problems with it, I liked the missions. The pve missions were difficult enough considering my team couldn't do many optionals either which was probably due to the fact that everyone is into the "deeps" mindset. Most of the missions require healing or just strategy instead of mindless shooting.

I did experience some rubberbanding lag but nothing "game-breaking". I expect as much from a new season since there are bound to be bugs around and many more people logging in than usual to check it out. Then again, I am going to school for game programming and design so I can't get too mad at that.

The Pilot ship looked meh to me. Not something I'll be investing in unless the starship trait is "uber-epic" as some from oPvP channel state.

Since my character's rp involves the Iconians destroying his homeworld, the only things I was really excited about for this patch was being able to shoot the crap out of them and the sector revamp. Both of those delivered to my expectations.

But if you go to Arc's main page and look at the STO link picture, you can see a Sovereign with a detailed skin from the movies, like they did with the Intrepid and Galaxy.

Why you gotta tease me! I love the Sovy so now theres another thing I'm looking forward to!

 Yea I don't even think the season is over ever since what's his face took over the exc produced. Position they have switched it up so u get like line or two missions at launch a mission 4 weeks after launch and then some type of a tie in to hold you over till the next season so I'm looking forward to that if it happens.would never invest in paris' ship but I do like how it looks.no lag for me though was a little bit of a challenge which was a nice surprise!

 You got to think though, building ships that last decades IS the Federation.  Look at any battle scene.  I know it's a game, but there are already way more designs then canon friendly numbers would show.  It does make sense though with all the war, the Federation would build ships more in line toward war.  But then again, it's not like the canon ships weren't capable of holding their own. 

Same goes true for all factions though.  I just wish the game focused on more then just making ships for money.  Think of all the content we could have if it was more canon in the sense of how many different hull types there were.  Less designs would make it look more like the universe, but then again they wouldn't make the money they needed. 

Then again, that's the RP in me.  I wish STO was more like what Star Citizen will be, immersion into the universe.  Limited number of hull designs would just look better then the colorful circus we have now.

Plus you got to think, they are doing this for all the people who watched the shows and films wanting their own Galaxy, Intrepid, Etc.  It makes sense to go back and detail them like they were.  Have you paid attention to the details of the original ships from the first 2.5 years?  The ship detailing is horrible unlike what you have on the newer stuff with Type 6 skins.

Completely agree the detail is far better but at the same time its shitty to me to have to pay to have a galaxy that looks like a proper galaxy ya know? That aside i also agree on cannon battles you would see excelsior class ships in the dominion war.....but the only problem there is this is a WAR. The federation lost most of the dominion war because all their ships were made to explore.

 No.....you didn't have to buy the new Galaxy.  I pulled up my already owned T5, and it allowed me to use the newer skin.  I've not bought the T6.  Actually the Federation was losing the war based on sheer numbers....not because their ships were crap.  But my opinions matter not.  People pour money into new ships, whether it be new designs or not.  So either way, you'll get your new designs you crave and people who love the ships established already get to rejoice that the designs don't get left behind due to level.  Much like the U.S.S. Lakota was updated and could match the Defiant, why build a new fleet when you can update those "old" Sovereigns to punch like an Avenger?

Back on topic.  I had to submit 2 tickets today due to bugs.  One being for a Klingon story mission that I can't finish to continue leveling my new Human/Klink warrior.

 Wait are you talking about the updated look they gave to the galaxy? If memory serves that was just a visual update they did to galaxys across the board and if you had an older one, it would switch to the new one if u visited the tailor or switched ships... On topic... I think they did an awesome job with the missions. They really nailed Tom and he did a great job voice acting.

The new patch made the mission playable, barely. Still major lag, still scratchy sound, and still reluctant to take power tray activations. But I did like the story, the graphics were good, with the exception of personnel being embedded in the floors up to their backsides.

Frankly, the temporal prime directive is going to have to be put aside. By shifting the war to the temporal level we gain an advantage over the Iconians who can't time travel without destroying their minds. Therefore, Section 31 will take greater priority in 10.5 because they can do the things that the Federation won't. In a way, they are like the Specters in Mass Effect. They are underhanded, not constrained by morality, and are pragmatic in accomplishing their mission objectives. In short, they win by whatever it takes.

By traveling back in time we can collect the intelligence that we couldn't get before M'Tara slaughtered the Preservers. But while the Iconians cannot travel back in time, their servants can and it is likely that we will engage them when their masters realize what the Allies are doing.

Additionally, it may be time to think about deploying strategic weapons or at least researching them. I don't think that the Iconians would be troubled by using Omega particles to lock down the races of the quadrants by disrupting subspace. They use gateways for travel and it seems as if they are independent of subspace. Given the size of the forces arrayed against us, an artificial black hole deployed in the Iconian system for example would put the screws to the enemy. The larger the mass, the harder the hit for something like that. Frankly, seeing the Dyson Sphere parked in the Iconian system being eaten by a black hole would give me a chuckle.

Anyhow, the future story line looks promising.

 Hmm i didnt even notice that. Regarding the Dominion war the Feds fell behind, in addition to numbers, because their tech wasn't up to par as seen when the Odyssey was destroyed. Dominion weapons went right through fed shields for most of the war. I can agree about updating a fleet. Will also agree new designs are on the way....I loved the concord which is basically an updated Excelsior....so im not totally against older ships being remodeled but there are SOOOOOOOOOOO many galaxy versions now i think it would be fair to at least work on something else.

I thought the Odyssey was destroyed because the Jem'Hadar ships as a last resort, would make Kamikaze runs at enemy ships? 

It was a Glorious Death!

 

Also, let's not forget the Breen Energy draining weapons.  Funny though, and probably an oversight (oh crap) on the part of the writers, but if I recall it was only the Federation and Romulan ships that were affected by the Breen Energy draining weapons.  The Klingon were not affected and had to carry the load.  Now it would seem to me that it should of been the KDF and Federation ships affected by the Breen weapons, as both used Warp Cores as their power source.  The Romulans used Singularity Cores as power source and should of not been affected.  Oh well, what is done is done and it can't be undone. 

Cheers

 Yes but first it was severely crippledbecause Dominion wepons went right through fed shields...took like half a season for them to figure out how to adapt ......and the been wepons were separate from the Dominion penetration
