Despite that badass looking Escort im going to stick to my Advanced Escort.
[QUOTE=Flicky;36308785]Never liked the Atrox, anyways.
Now the Akira, that I've always loved. Screw the default look for that ship, I'm skinning it as an Akira.[/QUOTE]
Duh, I've always liked the Akira. The Connie Refit is the best vessel, though.
So no invite to the fleet?
The new carrier has problems.
1. They can't join STF's.
2. The skins are messed up, EXAMPLE:

I wonder if we'll ever be able to go into a view where we can see on the bridge, but our focus is toward the viewscreen and we can only see directly in front of us.
I would probably be the only person to enjoy that.

I haven't played this for over half a year now. The biggest thing I disliked is that space combat didn't make you feel that you were in space, but that you were just in a 1x1 Sq KM box unable to leave. I know that that's how it is, but there's a difference between reality and noticing the limitation. Has anything big changed since then about that, and the game in general?

What are you talking about? Space combat is the best feature of the game, I've always like it.
Alright. Giving it a shot then. Anyone mind making a broad list that's changed in the last half year?
as in the last 6 months? Not a whole lot.. the Dominion Featured episode series, new ships some small changes to STFs, most balance stuff.

The new STO website is disgusting, everything looks like it's designed for old people.
These days everything new means it has to be big as fuck, makes it annoying to browse, you can't even see the first section unless you scroll down a bunch, that's fucked up.
I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't mind the new site.
