New Faction feels weird

I love the take on the 23th century all the way I noticed audio was taken from chars and put in the game, bad choice but if they had clearance who am I to judge their way on doing a thing like that, but maybe in a update they could check it because it makes it very cheap...
When I was on ESD in the 24th century I felt a climbs of betrayal on my part like hahaha you have been had...
It felt more like now you are a Fed officer nothing you can do about it.
But that said if I had to rate this, this is the worst and cheapest part ever I have seen on STO, are the sales so bad that they give us this mambo jumbo, I like the first few missions in this but when those aliens come around from the other time it spirals downward. When you have to play on in the 24th century and doing the Fed missions that's where the betrayal plays in. because I don't want to play as a 24th century Federation Officer, And I certainly don't want to do all those missions and stuff over and over again. I felt disappointed deleted my char and went back to my main. Another try to sell ships, close, and other stuff. I can only think on one thing if this is the case why not do the same for the Klingons and Romulans...
Ok enough said just wanted to share my disappointment with you... Well I hope they gonna do more in the future

Guess what? That's entirely your own fault.
You could have known this for weeks so I'm not sure where the disappointment comes from.
We have Chase Masterson as Leeta, Vic Micnogna as Admiral Garrett (prime and Kelvin Timeline), Matt Winston as Daniels, Walter Koenig as Chekov and Chris Doohan as Scotty. Walter was probably the most expensive to get out of all of this.
They had to do voice clips for Uhura and Sulu because they probably couldn't get either of them to have the time to record lines for the game. Chekov in that one area I don't get why he was given a voice clip. As for Spock and McCoy, those two were voice clips because the actors are dead.
As far as deleting your character: It's your loss for deleting the character. You can always make another one before 6 weeks are up and change your mind but as of now you're losing out on some free account wide stuff that can only be unlocked using your Temporal Recruit:
-Rapid Support Space Trait (the yellow traits) which can only be obtained by finding all of the Temporal Probes & reduces the cooldown time on your Captain's Fleet Ability (Tactical Fleet, Science Fleet or Engineering Fleet).
-Critical Systems Starship Trait: Similar to Delta Recruits and how the Temporal Insight Trait unlocked, this trait unlocks a regular version at half of the arcs played and an improved version when all arcs on your character are played through & is for all characters once unlocked.
-Superior Specailizaiton Starship traits: For completing 3 primary specialization trees, you'll get a permanent unlock for all characters for superior versions of the starship traits from all of the primary specializations.
-Admiralty: A permanent boost to XP received from all Admiralty assignments will be granted to all your characters once you earn this reward for finishing all three campaigns on your Temporal Recruit.
-Reputation gear mark and rairty bump: After finishing all 9 reputations on your recruit, all your characters will have a permanent unlock that bumps all reputation gear to Mark XIII Ultra Rare.
There's also a unique doff for completing 6 tracks of the DOff system for all characters plus free R&D materials to unlock. If you say no to free stuff just because you don't want to run through content again, that's entirely your choice.
I'm wondering how the Superior Command Frequency is different from Improved Command Frequency?
or actually any other "superior" starship trait from specs
if I were to guess it would be like this:
superior command frequency - either even greater cd reduction, or "update" to summon "better" ship or sth like fleet support summoning more than one ship [like for example one CBC and two escorts or sth like that] personally would put my money either on even greater cd reduction or replacement of summoning CBC with one of those temporal ships
all the rest I'd guess would be just increasing numbers....
Seems like the new car smell is wearing off already for some. I made i new character got him to just lvl 7 and couldn't go on and deleted him. Not going through lvling up another character in this game no matter what.
How is that not fan service
The money grab part is always going to be true. So between now and the next expansion, expect at least 20 new federation ships(all of which will have generally the same stats), nothing to very little for the other two factions, and, of course, whatever half-assed fedcentric storyline they can TRIBBLE out. And the fault lies with the players, ships keep getting bought and very little else is asked for. I could blame the devs, but on this, it's the players who are at fault. And yes, before you say anything, a lot more people would play the other two factions, they just don't do anything for them and they never will as long as the players continue to buy the shiny new fed ships and not asking for anything else.
And I kind of got attached to my AoY and almost cried when he 'died'. Now I'm writing out how he's coping being 200 years ahead of his time. It's great fun.
If you're surprised at this (the whole bringing to the future thing), then you've had your head in a hole.
Tissues!!! Get your tissues here!!!!
I just discovered that one of the 23rd century Tactical BOFF is common...WHITE....IEEEE coodies,
so I had to replace him with something more colorful. Unfortunately it seems we only got access to the
TOS medical outfit and that IMHO is a ripoff. Do your 25th century toons not have access to 1 or 2
25th century uniforms? Covering all career colors? Is it asked too much to expect the same for
the new 23rd century toon and TOS uniforms?

Good Idea like that one ....

where the last 2 expansions gave me zero buyers remorse on purchasing the full packs. i'm just thankful that this time around, with agents of yesterfail, remorse kicked in, prior to any purchase, thus saving me guilt on wasting any money.. even the base pack is worthless, in my opinion.
I'm enjoying playing the missions again, and the implication that the whole launch story is basically a 50-Xanatos pile up between the Iconians, Na'khul, Sela, the Envoy, and Starfleet.
am i personally enjoying the TOS content? sure i like it though being forced back to the 25th century is lame, and takes it from faction to a over glorified tutorial.
so they wanted to encourage new players to the game, by greatly reducing their starting options, while providing something that looks very dated compared to the old start of the game? how exactly is that meant to be encouraging to 'new' players?
this was nothing more than a blatant money grab, from current players, for the 50th anniversary. porting to console is their new player draw.. and us pc players are paying for it.
And after you said what you had to say before I said anything, I will ask something: how are you so sure? I don't doubt that more players would play them, I just doubt that it would be really substantial. Those who are inclined to play KDF or Rom already do, despite the shortcomings. Many players even don't try out different factions, if I read dev statements correctly - and the problems you have don't really set in before endgame. Granted, you reach it quite fast, but until then KDF or moreso KDF-Rom seem to be getting the better deal rewards wise.
Either way, this ship has sailed and the vicious circle is in full effect to an extent where trying to break out of it would be very risky - you would probably not get that many extra players, you will sell some shinies, but since the factionbases are not as large, it is doubtful that the amount of investment would pay off. Which I, too, am not too happy about, since more of my characters are red or green than blue or yellow, and I'd really really like a T6 faction sci ship for them as an example, but it has been asked repeatedly, but with other requested "rare" ships the sales didn't really reach the required numbers. I still think that some day some stuff will come, but I won't hold my breath.
I'm happy enough, speaking purely personally. I'd have been even more happy with more 23rd century stuff, but I'm not complaining. Well, not complaining much. Some things could have been done better, but hey, this is the real world, it's not noted for being perfect.
I once drove a Prius from Daytona Beach to Columbia, SC, at 70MPH with three people and luggage in, and the air conditioning on, using only one tank of gas. You do that in a Cadillac and get back to me, m'kay?
