Good
- Traits as mission reward
- Kit revamp added customization
- Daily rep reward box has made some of my favorite old content not as reward terrible
- New FE was overall very well done even considering it's length
- Removal of one cash respec, I hate all of those
- SA buff
- Added Nukara marks to Azure Nebula reward table
Bad
- Rep Trait revamp, all but one of my toons suffered minor power reduction
- SA usability change
- New STFs are not enjoyable to me, pacing and tension escalation are horrible
- Too many of the new Traits are from lockboxes and this one has even more*
- Kit revamp and only new modules are also in lockboxes*
*Don't have a problem with them in lockboxes just wish more were not in lockboxes, 50/50 split for new ones created post revamps would be really nice.
Annoyed
- Can no longer 'bank' a bunch of Dyson Sphere missions to turn in one day at a time for the bonus marks.
- Graphic setting changes plus tons of space snot = my PC crying.
- Space snot, everything about it is simply annoying.
- Using cannon weapons in 3d designed encounters in a 2.5d flight engine.
Things Missing
- Fed/KDF boff space traits, come on already they cannot be that hard to create just do it.

In my case, just applying Hazard Emitters on myself(Sci VA on a Sci ship), thanks to 2 BoFFs having it, fixes the in-game troubles those things can cause to our ships, heh!
I've only played S9 so far on one character, my main, but the Trait revamp seems to've actually HELPED me, all-around...'course, I've only been playing since last October, and I ignore PvP entirely, so YMMV(your mileage may vary)....
Took a few minutes to re-adjust my graphics settings, and yes, I'll admit the reset of this is the only thing that has REALLY annoyed me about S9 so far...still making minor on-the-fly tweaks as I play until i get back to where I want.
On the whole, -definitely- enjoy S9 so far...fantastic FE(it's long, allright, but keeps you on your toes!), =LOVE= the revamped ESD, even if I haven't figured out where everything is, yet, heh, and had a blast in the new Undine Space Battleground, space snot notwithstanding!
