Just logged in and am playing (Captain) for the first time since patch. My immediate and instant thought was more cosmetic integration with Champions Online in two overt (and fine-with-me-so-far) ways...the on-screen slideaways (You Have Received X Credits or moron@wal-mart Joined The Team etc) and the brawler stance (just like my Power Armor character's was on Champions).
I'm sure respec will be similar (or nearly so) but I'm alt-tabbed posting this now before I check that out next.
Another thing I noticed to my detriment was the gamma on Bridge Officer paperdolls. Also I have a new suggestion to add to the list of those historically given by myself...a UI addition that gives semi-generic intelligence ratings for an enemy ship, even players...such as "Respectable" (mix of mostly whites/greens w/some blues) and "Admirable" which should be pronounced exaclty like Ricardo Montalb
Also I like that we no longer load on the ground w/our dang weapons drawn, w00t (now I truly can laugh @ anyone w/them out in friendly spaces then put them on /ignore w/extreme confidence. Social Darwinism ftw).
