Looking at the release notes for the patch, you guys seem to be under a narrow view of what's wrong with the game since Season 9 release. (See Bugs) Highly disappointing as either this means you really are blind to what's seriously wrong or this will be one day at a time, one patch at a time, huge chunks of time taken up by each patch.
Good luck with that.

Not trying to be sarcastic. I haven't played since season 8 and just played a few hours yesterday and didn't notice any major problems.
Defending The Galaxy By Breaking One Starfleet Regulation After The Next.
Well, the new Battlezone is badly bugged for starters, making zones utterly uncompleteable.
Not to mention that Undine Assault Elite is also nigh-impossible post Trait Nerf.
That's exactly how it works and thats how they have done it for years. what other solution to do realistically propose?
they cant fix everything in the first day. so they can either fix it over a number of days as quickly as they can, or wait and leave everything buggy until one big patch much later.
neither is ideal but its better to fix as much as they can for the sake of losing a couple of hours each day than leave everything a mess.
Are you surprised at all? Its the same old story with cryptic. Dozens of bugs have been reported since some of the content went live on tribble yet nothing has been looked at in detail. It's cryptic all over, "push things through and we'll sort some issues out later". Their QA and beta testing is nothing more than a joke. The people they hand the testing too are not those that will pull everything apart and test it properly but those that spend most of their time with their lips locked to a Dev's back side!
But I disagree with your comment on the Undine Assault Elite. I've gotten through it quiet a few times without issue.
Ah, that one I played yesterday. We did beat it, but it was quite the chore. Though I assumed that it was due to everyone doing it for the first time. We all did one lane with 5 people and then it took 10 minutes for everyone to get that they had to start over the other lanes from the start, which were by that point swarmed with 50 Undine ships. So that was a real sludge. And the endboss was also pretty ridiculous.
So yeah, I think I can definitely agree that that mission needs a look at. Didn't try the battlezone yet, after reading your post, maybe I should wait a bit until I do...
Wasn't this stuff on Tribble for a while? It's indeed sad if those bugs are as bad as everyone is saying.
Of course you have. You are the all-singing-all-dancing mister I-don't-need-no-stinkin-ATB, two man STF extraordinaire. You can do anything.

In regards to the actual season launch, this is the smoothest i've seen from them, anyone remember season 5's weekly server outages? or the logon queues from 6 and 7 that took hours on launch day? no, it's not perfect, it'd have been better had their been a tribble test weekend and then the launch, but they've done a lot worse so give them a point or two for improvement?
How many of the bugged seasons will it take to get through the thick skull o' yours ? Has Cryptic ever released anything that wasn't utterly broken despite the bugs being tested and reported on Tribble?
Chill out, take few days off sooner or later most stuff will work. As someone who never put a dime in the hands of the chinese owners I can say I'm content the game functions as much as I've paid for it.
I'm pretty sure their QA is of the 'works on my system, not sure what your problem is' variety, though. Look at how long it took to fix the false Red Alerts...about a year after launch! They only had ONE Tholian Red Alert, and released how many patches before getting around to it?
