"It is now possible skip logout and go directly to character select!"
About time!
CO noob and STO veteran.
So there was pretty much jumping and squealing with joy when I discovered that.
Other HOORAYs:
Skip the re-login. It's ABOUT BLOODY TIME! Guild Wars 1 was doing that 10 years ago!
INTO THE HIVE. So much WANT. Special drops?
"Pressing enter to select auto-fill items from the chat entry field will now complete the line it is trying to auto-fill." Broken for a WHILE, nice to have it fixed.
Shield Regen display. Nice.
EDIT:
Same here! Thankee thankee THANKEE!
(or the return of those what were taken from us so cruely?)
And the new STF! Woot! I've been expecting that one.

JUST grind-maps?
No story-progression?
Please tell me this is an early build and there is more content coming... otherwise I will be slightly upset.
I have an idea for what Season 11 should be; Season 11: The Big Bug Fix.
I have not been able to read my bug tickets in over a year, not even the tickets about not being able to see my tickets.
I find the drama of your signature proof of your immaturity, this means you, DR whiners.
We Ditching Zen and going After CP's again? :P

The opinions expressed in my posts are my own views and do not reflect on any other entity(s) or person(s) I may or may not represent at the time.
And it only took what? A decade?:eek:
(I'm counting all the way back to the "City of Heroes" closed beta where we all said unanimously in the beta that we hated the fact you couldn't just drop back to character select.:D;)
PWE ARC Drone says: "Your STO forum community as you have known it is ended...Display names are irrelevant...Any further sense of community is irrelevant...Resistance is futile...You will be assimilated..."
Reman Datalogs are no longer a part of the process to obtain the Reman Set. This process will instead be rolled into the Romulan Reputation. More details on this will be published in the near future.

Feature episodes are coming back with Season 8. Season 7 continues the story but not necessarily through episodes -- i.e. stuff like Into the Hive.
It has been and still is the C-Store (the C stands for Cryptic).

no more vault for set correct as in your interview
There are so many new systems in the new sector that one of them must be related to an episode. Hopefully.

well yes it is an early build. story progression is meant to be linked to the romulan adventure zone map, but it sounds like there will still be some grind but lets wait and see.
Second, the missions sound interesting, but to be honest I was hoping there was more space. Hopefully more will appear with future updates.
All in all I'm looking forward to testing this. Just need to get a team together.
Daizen - Lvl 60 Tactical - Eclipse
Selia - Lvl 60 Tactical - Eclipse
it came early
Hurrah, lets get the champagne out!!
What the JMan said (watched the P1 video
These are all being combined within the "Reputation System" which is not unlike the fleet system we have now.
We earn marks for the various factions which we then spend like skillpoints to get the items we want. Also, we will not be limited to just doing stf's and the vault mission to earn these marks, as normal missions will give these as rewards as well
If I got any of that wrong JMan, please correct me
Hell yeah
Sounds like more space maps come with the new sector block.
