Look, I know how frustrating it's been. It's taken a month and a half (and an install through steam) just to get the game to start working again. And what do I get for all that frustration? More frustration! With disconnects, bugs, and queues out the wazoo. Believe me, I feel like raging myself.
But, there have been more than enough complaining threads, so in what little time I have spent with it, I give you what I like about LoR. And feel free to share your own.
1. The welcome screen.
Holy TRIBBLE this thing is boss. Sometimes it is worth going back and redoing something as little as this because holy awesome. My captain flanked by her ragtag crew, huge ship looming in the background... it's almost poster worthy. (Actually, can you make that a thing? I would totally buy that if it was a thing.) To the guys that obviously worked overtime on this. NIIIIIIIIIIICE.
2. Warp Cores.
About damn time. These should have been in the game from the beginning. I look forward to future sets that include them, and their inclusion in current sets. All we need now is a "HOLY TRIBBLE EJECT THE CORE BEFORE IT BLOWS UP AND KILLS US ALL" button, and we will have the complete warp core experience!
3. The UI.
It's not perfect, but it is a billion times better that whatever came before it. Currently using the Voyager one (though I honestly think it looks more TNG.....) and loving it.
4. The Crystalline Entity.
People still have no idea how to kill it, but it actually looks like the Crystalline Entity now!!! (Instead of whatever the heck this was supposed to be.) To the modeler and texturizer, who ever made this thing, I will continue to admire its majesty, as I beat it's face in.
5. My ship is prettier.
The model is still screwed up (the phaser lance is still misaligned, and it still fires from the saucer, not the lance) but the textures look much better. I forget what hull I'm using, but it looks shiny and well maintained, but kind of worn and old, befitting my ship and it's backstory. Also the bussard collectors look darker and more lava like. It's neat.
6. Did you guys mess with the lighting a bit?
Most of the game looks darker as a whole, and it looks much better befitting a game set in the cold dark, blackness of outerspace. It might be due to a darker UI, but as a whole, the game looks far less cartoony and bright, and makes the colours darker, richer, and more realistic. I like it very much. More of that please.

Noteworthy little thing? Adding a feature to the exchange that eliminates stuff your faction can't use from searches. Hooray.

Enjoying the Romulan story so far (though it's weird hearing Khev's voice come from my Reman Borg officer on occasion...).
Keep calm, and continue firing photon torpedoes.
3, I REALLY like the style, but I really want to see customizable colors (possibly even with a real red) or a blanket 2 tone option. The current color schemes are awful.
4, def impressed with the gfx of the crystal ent, but not at all with the event itself. Can't speak to the lance in 5, but improvement to ship appearance is very evident in all environments.
6, yeah it's slick and def looks darker (which might be part of how crazy harsh those neo-pastel with a fluorescent finish UI color palettes are)
Love the new ui, love love love the new conversation screens, the less in your face color on the KDF side. The missions so far on Rommie side. Seems to be a massive improvement overall. Cant complain.
YOU GUYS PUT IN A REPUTATION CANCEL BUTTON!!!!!! HOOOOORAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!
I only wish it happened sooner...
On the flip-side, I do feel that the Elachi are a tad overpowered; their ships don't lose their shields very easily, their hulls are too tough, and their weapons (not even the superweapon, here, just the standard plasma bolts) cut through you too easily. Don't know if this is an issue or "working as intended".
Overall, I'm very happy with Legacy. 4/5.
The content is really good, much more than I expected, lots of VO too. The romulan ships are awesome. Lots of little things like the cancel button on projects. Any faction from level 1. Better tutorials. The new UI is sexy. Tons and tons of romulan costumes. The character select looks awesome if a little sluggish to load at times.
I also love how on the pop ups there is an actual background, or the viewscreen changes depending on your ships screen (galor's have an oval screen, the jem'hadar looks like you are wearing the headset).
