I like the three new mirror ships. I always wanted each of them but not enough to blow fleet marks, FSMs, or 120k dil on them. That's all I got, I like this season's lock box.
Hmmmm..... something positive about season 9.5......
The new Doff UI gives me a headache because it is very difficult to cherry pick Doffs for missions when your toon has 300 to 400 Doffs each and you have multiple toons. My Fed toon has 400 Doffs, my KDF tactical toon has 300 Doffs, my KDF Engineer and Rom Science toon each have 200 Doffs....
Scrolling through 200 Doffs is not as bad as scrolling through 400 Doffs to cherry pick Doffs for best results in missions, but it is still a pain.
So what is the "good" from this?
I bought a bottle of Advil with 500 pills that was on sale; it was cheaper than buying the bottle that only had 250 pills in it. With all the potential headaches, this means that fewer of the 500 pills will go to waste by the time the expiration date rolls round.
My positive note for the patch is that I haven't actually sat down and played the game in over close to a year. I'm happy I didn't waste my time with it any further.
I visit a bunch of game forums and STO is one of them. I like to keep up with current events to see if something has changed significantly enough for me to perhaps one day sit down and play again, but well, not yet??
Retired. I'm now in search for that perfect space anomaly.
Crafting was a nice idea...but that's about it.
Oh wait, the oddy tac uniform variant is miraculous in that it takes a nasty horribad outfit and makes it into something I would actually use.
That's it.
I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but, I don't see how anyone can find the original Oddy uniform to be "horribad."
How the Devs see Star Trek, apparently:
Star Trek: The Original Grind
Star Trek: The Next Grind
Star Trek: Deep Space Grind
Star Trek: Voyage to the Grind
Rep system rewards (free EC if you don't need them)
FE was great
New R&D, didn't care for the first one.
New ESD
New DOFF system (easier to see for IMO)
But mostly, all the new complaints of anything new from all the haters, who still come back to play, even though everything is "horrible and broken". They are entertaining. :rolleyes:
Ok, something positive about Seasons 9 and 9.5....well there's...............oh no hold on, .....oh yeah there's.............no wait,......oh I've got it, there's......umm well maybe not, ..............oh I forgot about...............no that's not it either,..........oh yeah, I got a new coffee maker!!!!!
I don't care what the header says, I am not now, nor have I ever been, nor will I ever be, an "ARC user".
The most positive thing that comes to mind is the fact that the combined results of their misjudgements and mismanagement of the last season (the removal of the exploration clusters and the generally-poorly-received crafting revamp) will guarantee that, come the date of the 2nd expansion previews at the Vegas convention, the DEV team will be rewarded with an audience of folded-armed, crossed-legged, infuriated players, whose angered faces seem to singularly convey the overwhelming sentiment:
Allowing kits to be use via tailor. Now my characters can wear utility belts, and other gear. So they look like they ready for work. Where before it would be like, how they carry this stuff. Makes it more realistic.
New uniforms and making the Fed NPCs more uniform in looks.
New mirror ships, I added more these last 2 lockboxes than I have before.
New weapons from lockboxes. I added a good many of those as well. Most being Hirogen type rifles. Those are just beastly rifles and comes with a sweet mounted light.
New traits as now I can manage them and play around with them.
Rep easier to gain in tiers
Reworked missions and more VOs added to the game.
Risa got more stuff added.
USS Casinghead NCC 92047 launched 2350
Fleet Admiral Stowe - Dominion War Vet.
So let's hear it, what do you love about Season 9 and 9.5?
How did it improve STO and what would you have done different?
What can we learn from it?
(I'm deliberately not telling my opinion, because i don't want to put the tread into the wrong direction.)
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Uniform code for the Federation.
Unlocking a uniform for the KDF
End of the war and from a very fun FE.
The very Fun FE that kicked off Season 9. I feel it needs to be repeated as we got a story with good actions and reactions from the important NPC's and a look for the future that makes me grin in anticipation.
The new crafting system. I think this system is far and away better than the previous. It isn't snap your fingers and you are done easy. You have to either work at getting mats and grinding out meh items. Guess what, like other games crafting systems. It is fine. The new items are decent and the Doff UI manageable. Can there be more in there? Sure but it works & it is a good start.
Xindi ships. I am going to have to save my money I want that carrier.

The last 2 seasons gave me plenty of time to play a different MMO and crafting oh boy! Can't say enough good things about crafting. Never made the idea of jumping to Star Citizen so appealing!
The only positive I see on 9.5. The KDF truly needed some new options.
TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class. Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider. Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

That's all I really care about.....
I'm sorry to people who I, in the past, insulted, annoyed, etc.

I found Star Citizen through the forums.
Star Citizen gets better and better, as STO gets features TRIBBLE off, rampant monetization, and devaluing of player feedback.
There was nothing worth spending dilithium or Zen on.
The remastered Klingon and Borg episodes
The New Featured Episode
The the bosun whistle when ever a que pops
The only positive I see on 9.5. The KDF truly needed some new options.
Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
It's over. Season 9.5 is live, we can get to the next thing now. Can only get better.
It can only get better, can't it? Yes? YES?
