hopefully this means time will count soon.
Nevertheless, some real strides are being made, and it is clear that the Devs have listened to some of the suggestions from players (some...).
I will remark that just the simple addition of an option to switch characters as opposed to logging out, then back in with a new one is THE best new feature so far; worth it by itself!
Fleet Commander
Caprica's Revenge

The reputation tab will further dilute material you might donate to fleet projects and adds two new marks you'll have to grind in order to collect (and more dilithium costs, albeit relatively small to start out).
The daily patrol in new space sector was fun but time consuming (one system mission finished around 15% of objective and most usually take 5-10 minutes). Nothing really new or groundbreaking, just more scanning, beaming, fixing, fighting. Or more appropriately grinding.
No Star Trek Series went past Season 7.
Will Star Trek Online survive Season 7?
It would also be nice to have some closure to the Iconian story.
Edit:
After logging on Saturday the reputation project that said "finishing" had finally finished, since I had started both project at roughly the same time it prolly finished around the same time as the other.
i have find bugs though
while using warp plasma,all ship systems go to max 125/125 power
isometric charges sometimes bounce off empty space
and while patroling in the new sector block,npc allies are stuck and wont attack enemies
nothing serious,but it should be fixed
maybe allow for the npcs to be destroyed ?
anyways,played for like 2 hours,and nothing serious,very fun
I love the Azure Nebula mission and I really like what they did with the Romulans. Was hoping to get the Romulans as a new playing race however.
I understand why a lot of people are complaining but I also see the benefits.
In the ground To the hive mission, the queen borg can't fall in the pit. Because this, she can't die and no none can kill her, forcing the hole team to suicide to reset the room or leave the game.
In the ground to the hive mission: The four rooms with online/offline teleport in the queen borg room have bugs. Some players become traped here, and can't go out because the consoles inside and outside of the cell are always offline.
Mine trap can't load propely. If you are playing with a joined trill in the kdf faction, sometimes your game client shut down without reason.

I think due to the massive mistakes made in the launch of season 6, the guys n gals at Cryptic and PWE have really taken note this time around, so a big well done on that basis.
Again a big well done.
especially the long wait (1d 15h and more) for progress in the various Tiers.
While traveling back on the east side of the map, my companion NPC either fell over or through the stone bridge. If the pathing did not limit the NPC while crossing the bridge, then he did fall over the bridge.
The shuttle area, 1) the option to travel between starbase and embassy should be active as long as the starbase is Level 1 or higher. 2) the sound produced when walking in ths shuttle bay is irritating; I was getting a headache just listening to the piercing audible through my speakers. 3) the shuttles are the size of runabouts, but they are not runabouts
The space mission are the standard ones you find in system fights, but the pay-off is a little to low; gives the area the fill of a grind-fest for Rom Marks.
Note: Would be nice to be able to test out Vesta on Tribble
Also, every time I try to enter a deep space encounter, I see my ship enter, but then get the "Well done, Admiral" message from my BOff saying I have finished "the mission" - without seeing a single enemy ship. No payout, no credit there, either.
Finally, in the other new daily mission in 'New Romulus' space, there really is a lot of time spent for not much. In two of the missions we went through wave upon wave of enemy ships or long "storyline" aspects - all to the tune of 45 minutes or more and...only filled 35% of the total necessary for completion.
I know there are folks who get on and play for hours, but as you have admitted yourselves: you know most of us are more casual players. Honestly, I don't have 6 hours a day to spend fighting the same ships or herding space slugs (Gekli); sorry!
Please either shorten the duration of the missions, or make each mission worth more, percentage-wise.
PLEASE listen to the player base regarding problems (not the ridiculous and overly cosmetic suggestions, but the mechanical and functional ones) and make the truly necessary tweaks and changes BEFORE launch this time! Season 6 was a real train wreck for the first half of its life, but there was so much feedback about problems we saw during testing that a good deal that came along with the live launch could have been avoided.

I think i did notice a player stuck in the ground - don't remember where. Too busy fighting a horde of Romulans.
Overall, very nice concept layout.
Oh, and I noticed the hard way that they can now shoot their instakill high yield plasmatorpedoes on targets above/below them. For me, as a raider/escort pilot, this changes everything. I'll need a new tactic when fighting the borg .__.
Still, I agree with what most people have posted regarding the Time/payout factor.
A lot of the changes kinda seem to work towards increasing the time you need to invest into the game, but the payout doesn't seem to be all that great and takes a loooong time to be noticed since many old players likely won't bother with mk X gear.
This runs the danger of driving the casual crowd off while offering little incentive for the hardcore players to stay since there is no extremely tough endgame raid or super strong Borgbasher-lipra +20 for them to earn.
We have kinda been doing the same STfs for almost 3 years now and the only real incentive we have to do so is to get gear to be better at running these again and again. Making us run these even more often in order to earn slightly different rewards and the "permission" to pay Dilithium for stuff we used to get for free while earning Dilithium doesn't really sound all that motivating to me.
I also hope you -really- rethink the current Dilithium economy. Prices for everything seem to explode and I feel like I will soon be forced to ether choose between investing my earned Dilithium into the Fleet or into the Reputation system and personal gear or invest rather copious amounts of cash into the game. And while I don't mind ocassionally paying money for perks like special starships, outfits or a larger inventory, I'd really hate to have to invest a fixed amount into dilithium every month, too. If I'd wanted to do that I'd play a subscription based game instead.
Join Starfleet,
Boldly go where no man has gone before,
Meet interesting new species, and Kill them!
