Star Trek Online: Trait System Improvements

Awesome! Been hoping for a long time now that this would be addressed! Thank you.
Now, if races would get their racial abilities back as inherent (like they should be) things would start to look even brighter.
Does a Gorn forget how to bite because that trait is not slotted? It's teeth magically disappear and reappear with the slot?
Is a Orion slave girl less attractive because she didn't slot seduction? Of course not! Not having racial abilities as inherent to the race is silly and illogical.

    I've gotta say this is some of the best news I've heard in a while. This will make life so much easier for players such as myself that regularly alternate between ground and space combat. Not to mention save time from not having to constantly switch out traits or have to run partially handicapped.​​
    Oh, it's not broken? We can soon fix that!

    As I have always run with a balanced set of space and ground. I never excelled at one or the other. I was set up as a jack of all trades. This will not only cater to that, but improve upon it.

    Well it landed on Tribble Friday, so it could be as early as this Thursday.

    I am very excited for this change.

    I am very tired of waiting for my friends to retrait from ground to space and back again every time we do stuff together. I am tired of doing it myself as well. It is time consuming and pointless.

    This is the most exciting thing since they added +15% phaser dmg to the phaser lance as a passive and before that the best news was them buffing the [DMG] mod.

    Also, they resolved a ticket of min in under 72 hours.

    Thanks Cryptic, you are doing an awesome job. Can they do no wrong lately? As of late they have done everything right and looks like they are going to continue their streak.

    Every race has a species trait that is inherent and not slotted, except for alien, which has a tenth trait slot instead.

    Much needed change, now Cryptic will have to go that one extra step... Let us attach these two Specializations when on ground, and these two when in space... so again I don't have to do it manually. :) For example, If on Ground use Commando (primary) Commander (secondary) & if I'm in Space use Pilot (primary) Commander (secondary).

    Is it patch day yet? :)

    Strange that there isn't actually an official forum thread for this topic, usually all the blog posts come with a link to the official thread. @pwlaughingtrendy to the rescue?
