      The best place for feedback is the forums? I suggest to make that more obvious by posting more here and less... elsewhere? ;)
      Us giving feedback does not mean that anyone at Cryptic has to respond to it in a post.

      On the subject of torpedos and energy weapons..

      Is it just me, or wouldn't the most elegant solution be to make energy weapons effective against shields, but ineffective against armor, while kinetics(torpedos/mines) are good at penetrating armor, but weak(as they currently are) against shields? Specializing into energy weapons could give improved shield damage and maybe some armor penetration; conversely speccing into kinetics would improve their armor penetration while perhaps giving some shield penetration.

      Well, I jotted down my thoughts on "Mirrors and Smoke" last week. Basically a heavy-handed moral tale about how polluting things is baaad, and that we should work together to solve problems instead of just hurling bullets and photon torpedoes at all the foreigners...well, duh. Good moral tales require finesse, not bludgeoning viewers over and over with the obvious. There's much better storytelling elsewhere in Trek and STO.

      Touched on the War Game queues last week too, although I will add that I wish "Binary Circuit" had an option to skip the jumping puzzle thing once your team has already solved it, or like an 'easy bridge' option, 'cuz honestly I am HORRIBLE at jumping/balance puzzles; so as long as one of the team members has reached the end and tapped the console thingy, it'd be nice if there was a way to bypass that one part for folks like me who aren't as good with their rapid fire WASD or mouse clicking. As far as space combat goes, it feels about the same to me. The Eng Captain EPS ability gives me some extra power, other than that I shoot at things and they go boom. :) Of course, I'm not at the bleeding edge of DEEPS performance, so your results may vary.

      A little late, but I wanted to correct Winters. According to STO Wiki, and for as long as I have known, the Efficient trait does stack.
