Post-patch logging in, I was strolling around the galaxy in my lovely starship, when I fancied a bite to eat at my favorite dive on DS9. No problem! Just tap my trusty Transwarp button, and select the destination to take me there! But to my chagrin, the
patch introduced an unexpected change to the transwarp destination descriptions. 
Why were these changed? On the
FED side, it is relatively insignificant, just renaming "Deep Space K-7" to "Starbase K7". (Though according to Memory Alpha it is supposed to be "Deep Space Station K-7", but I digress.) On the
KDF side however, the transwarp destinations for the various sector blocks have been altered to a nebulous faction space reference: "Beta Ursae Sector Block" has been changed to "Cardassian space", "Alpha Centauri Sector Block" to "Romulan space", etc. (Not sure what happened with "the Regulus Sector Block" one.) While I've been playing long enough to know where those transwarp buttons go w/o thinking about it too much, I imagine that this might be confusing for someone who doesn't have prior knowledge of exactly where the transwarps go, especially the "Romulan space" one, since the "Tau Dewa Sector Block" could also count as Romulan space, but ultimately takes you to an entirely different location on the Galaxy map.
So back to my question: why were these changed? Seems like a case of fixing something that wasn't broken. Please change them back. Thank you.

I rarely use the feature, but when I do I'd like to know EXACTLY where I'm going to end up.

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
"If it aint broke....don't fix it" - seems this needs to be quoted more often.
I second the OP.
Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone confirm this problem? Or are folks just "sighing" because they assume it is broken for everyone. What is the source or the Transwarp power (Excelsior, Transwarp Coil, Diplomacy Transwarp)?
Just accessing it via the transwarp button on minimap.
On my KDF character -- T4 Marauding and no other Transwarp abilities -- the transwarp list is currently:
Romulan Space
Cardassian Space
Fleet Starbase System
Qo'nos
the Regulus Sector Block
Most of my Fed characters -- including those with T4 Diplomacy and Suliban Cell Ship transwarps -- see no changes other than the aforementioned K7/Starbase 39 cleanups. However, my Fleet Advanced Heavy Cruiser Retrofit list has the Eta Eridani text as "Transwarp to Eta Eridani Sector Block".
Klingon List
Fleet Excelsior Refit List
K-7 used to be named "Sherman System" for example, and Earth was "Sol System". Now it's Starbase K-7 and Earthspace Dock respectively. And Regulus for my Klingon shows up as 'the Regulus sector block'.
13 of my KDF are tier 4 marauding and one says Romulan Space which is Iota/The location of the romulus memorial. Then I have Tau Dewa transwarp. It might be confusion for some players between the two is what I can figure.
Additionally, the adjustment we made to the Transwarp UI inadvertantly negatively impacted players not playing the English translation of the game. We'll be sure to fix the UI for those players as well.

While you are at it, consider adding a mechanic that would allow players who are in fleets to transwarp to the places that their transwarp conduit can go. Is there really a point in having to transwarp to the fleet base, then flying over to the conduit? Either way you still have a cooldown, and my suggestion would merely be a quality of life upgrade.
