My Starfleet character just reached level 31! Yay

Now for some reason the EXACT same engines that used to say +15 turn rate, not say +3.

I'm still in my T3 Heavy Cruiser

I linked them in team chat to my roommate, thay say +15 for him. +3 for me.

Does becoming a Captain in Starfleet mean you forget how to pilot a ship in a turn?

Someone please explain!

Yes I've logged off and exited the program and logged back in...no change

    It sounds like you are actually in a Galaxy now.

    He says he's still in his T3, but this sounds like the bug that's been going around: all your item tooltips display based on the last ship you purchased, rather than the one you are actually captaining. So you purchased your exploration cruiser, but stayed with your T3 cruiser. +3 is the turn rate you would normally see on a standard engine in an exploration cruiser. Unless your turn rate has actually fallen, this seems to be just a display bug.

    Seems that you are correct, I confirmed it by flying the T3 Heavy Cruiser around and it turned just as before.

    The Galaxy doesn't turn, it sorta seems like it attempts to have the rest of the galaxy (no pun) move around it at a slow speed. Took me a few minutes to turn around and dock back at Earth Station after I left and flew away to take her on her maiden voyage

    Aye this is an annoying bug. I got my tier 4 Galaxy and Defiant ships but then went and bought a Runabout last. And now all my equipment is rated for a runabout which is about as complteely far off from a normal ship as can be. My Engine says something like +32 turn rate on my Galaxy lol... I wish.

    You know, it's people like you that make this game so fun to play.

    Hey, is there a way to ignore narcissistic twerps on the forums like I can in game? THAT would be awesome.

    To the OP: Yeah, that happened to me to. appears to be a bug. It was REALLY confusing becuase while I was buying my ship I bought an older escort to play with and ... well, nothing seemed right. I thought I was crazy until I read your post, thanks for posting it.
