As a long time pug player suffering endlessly throughout this long games struggle, I applaud the light at the end of the tunnels approach. With the most sincere gratitude, good show!
The any man q is the ultimate pick up game, one click action, long overdue for a KDF player like myself. More proper (5v5 no quitters!) matches in the last 2 days than in as many recent weeks.
So much kickass this is, Ill forgo complaining about hidden nerfs (proton does less now.. dafuq), new consoles (more running yay), and lack of f/k teams in premade q (actually better, play kdf or nothing! last semblance of allegiance).
^^all irrelevant, as simply having ANY game to play at all, has been the vast majority of my playitime in this game. You may say this sucks or thats too good, but in the end you can still bring your weapons to bear on the enemy and hope for the best. For some of us< especially yours truly one hit wonder master legend> is all you need.
Try your luck, enter the arena, you may go down in history ( as being killed by me epically)
did almost nothing but pvp yesterday, cause it was poping like mad.impressive considering all the new pve that needs grinding. simply love the change, especially for my kdf. no one is safe from my SA equipped bortas!

Saw it in several matches, great build! I don't think I lost any when you had that bort on the team. Going to set mine up soon too.
FvF was the worst idea this game has ever had...until...
Romulan BOFFs
Think how amazing PvP would be if they even the playing field on crit chance/severity/defense/cloak cooldown
Put in embassy eng/sci superior operative or get rid of stacking! Come onnn!
Not only that but they also need to add subterfuge to all embassy boffs to make it fair compared to Romulans. Even then Roms still have an advantage as they can just buy the boffs from exchange or recruit them for free when leveling or doffing. Other boff traits need to be made superior also like pirate.
Rumor mill has it that SupOp will be limited to Rom Tac BOff's only (though probably those non-tac Rom BOff's with it will get to keep it).
They simply need to replace it with something equally silly and add them to the Embassy boffs. Then release some new boffs into lockbox prize containers that don't care about factions. I thought they would have done that with the undine box. If the next box is a Delta Q race though I bet they add a boff race container to it... one that wilil join any faction and has something = to sup op.
It has never been Cryptics style to take things away from anyone... but I could see them making some small changes here. They will want even people with rom toons to drop money on new things.
I'm loving the new queues. Premade pops often, and I can now pug without waiting ten years for a game. Obviously there are still some things to iron out regarding the solo/duo queue and cross-faction teaming, but we're getting there.

True, what I expect we'll see is next season we'll be able to add custom traits to our boffs, extra itemization for Cryptic, and better customization for us. What if you can get equivalent traits to what the rom boffs have on other race boffs? You can have better thematic bridge crew and away teams, something very important to some (most?) players.
all dmg period. t2 omega rep trait was changed from 10% flat dmg boost to "kinetic shearing" (good in its own right)
Your Omega Kinetic Shearing deals 18 Kinetic Damage to Cube.
Your Omega Kinetic Shearing deals 12 Kinetic Damage to Cube.
Your Omega Kinetic Shearing deals 1 Kinetic Damage to Cube.
Once again, another bug that rendered yet another good idea into total uselessness.
But given the expected new OP console to come out soon titled : "Enhanced TDF" that will be equipped on every single Fed ship, including shuttles, this bug seems like a little price to pay.

Now, I am curious, is the premade q pretty much dead?

had 3 matches in premade q last hour
Both queues seem to be doing well.
Proton barrage its self, or ALL Proton damage?
Think about this:
