Hi, just back to this game after around 5 years break, so I see that many issues still remain and didn't fixed!
For instance traits unchecking game behavior, especially doing episodes, if need to change ships, while if user selected something, should remain selected? Engine flaws, rethink your engine. I am developer too, with 3 decades of experience, and I saw much worse, what we fixed, so writing it not only as player, but as dev, who seen a lot and who don't accept answer NO, same as my customers does.
This is annoying as sometimes I need to correct them 3-5 times per day! What you don't understand? Uncapable to fix it during 5 years period? Maybe this behavior is unknown for you? Probably flaws are much deeper than was easy to fix them, and requires bigger changes, but if this game wants to be good, remove such annoyance issuing issues...
Why to irritate your customers all the time? Often is better to have less automatic features, giving more freedom for an user. Often user is more happy in result and less of coding as well then needed, less bugs as less code, as usual! Not so hard to write algorithm, which after removal of something remembered what was there before and after eg. switching ships returned it to previous state, simply need to improve algorithm.
XXI century already beyond your doors! People already programming AI, you'll manage to fix this I think!
Another thing, missing temporal and delta recruit starship traits on gamma recruit, just after pickup, what probably is massive issue, and issues as I see are in very simple things, where probably this part of your engine requires a lot of fixing... Something too much automated, what resulting in such issues... It didn't helped, to spend specialization points, that some kind re-calculation happened and those starship traits appeared.
And fix that Romulan rifle 3D model, once and for all, as I very like that Romulan rifles, but they look so crappy that I forced never to use them for this, especially when holstered. Its look maybe not worst thing, but position when holstered looks unnatural, like for weapon... Same situation was 5 years ago...
