Great job indeed. Even as a tribble user the full experience of the DR missions is above my expectations. New ships: fantastic. Server and technical stuff, no complaints. General feel and gameplay: top notch.
Now if they could give my KDF talaxian boff some proper talaxian pants (uniform doesn't work) this would be damn near perfect.

Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
I was actually looking for somewhere to say bravo on the servers remaining up (for the time I played anyway).
I had a couple of minor bugs and some slight rubber banding but overall I cannot complain about this launch thus far in terms of game stability.
A welcome surprise.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
... but NO thanks. The servers simply existing doesn't make up for the changse they have forced upon the players. It is preferrable to have the server DOWN than to have what they gave us when the servers came UP.
So... thanks but NO thanks.
Can't take much more of this. We're all just about ready to revolt.
No ingame issues yet, but that may be because, despite this PC being a year old(and still pretty good), I adjust my settings for performance over visuals, so....
No issues upgrading my Fleet Nebula to T5-U(thank goodness for spare $ from mowing our neighbor's yard!), and with those upgrades, on top of the Neb/Fleet Neb's buffs with my Mk XIII Dyson space set, I'm at 58k Hull...still lousy dps(by design on my part), but the story-mission enemies haven't been much of a threat to me, so far!
Still avoiding PvP like the plague, and likely won't even consider the new STFs until I have a few extra levels under my belt...I...really have no complaints so far...but, I also won't be surprised if we get a server outage or 2 before it's all said and done!
I'm a bit verklempt as I type this, but I just want to offer a real 'thank you' to Thomas, Jeremy, Al Rivera, and the entire team at Cryptic, you guys really out did yourselves. I have at times been a critic, but thus far Delta Rising seems to be a home run! There is so much content, new systems and gameplay here...it's a bit overwhelming....but in a really good way. Just working my way through the blogs with the actual systems up to see how they all work...masterful.
Okay enough of that... when is X3 coming out?
P.S. I'm one of the guys who won a signed Delta Rising poster in Vegas...it is framed in my livingroom for prosperity!
Everything I see so far looks good. I'm watching my friend do some of the new missions
I like to make a personal thanks for fixing the assimilated regen shield upgrade. The graphics also somehow look crisper?

I also want to say thank you cryptic for a good launch I have had no issue's as of yet. And thank you cryptic for putting the delta pack in the c store for 12500 zen I was able to pick it up with my hard earned zen. Thanks again
Most of my friends have been worried for weeks because of all the rumours and horror stories of what was to come.
I logged on tonight to silence in my fleet chat, broken by the occational bursts of "this is so cool..." or "omg i am on Voyager!" because everyone was so focused on playing the new content and was having so much fun.
I think so far the server has been amazingly stable, no one had to queue to get in and it went really well. So far it has been a very positive experience.

The art team did a pass on a lot of stuff. The whole galaxy map & sector maps, several items, the tailor got new sliders and many clipping issues fixed, several maps had tweaks etc. All the art people really deserve a big thanks for the hard work. Some of it subtle.
On behalf of the team, You are all very welcome. We are truly humbled and honored by your gratitude. Star Trek and STO are both very dear and important to us. It is our work and our art. It brings us great joy when people enjoy it.
Thank you for playing. We hope you continue to enjoy Delta Rising for quite a while. And we hope the story surprised you. But remember - No Spoilers
I had a few lagging moments ,but that may have been actually because of what else I was downloading while playing STO and not related to the server directly.

I wait with praises till we see where elite is in a month or two and if you guys can stay firm against the whine-brigade or not. I will try some elite stuff later and if I dont die on the first tryouts i will be sad^^
While I think there are issues with this expansion, I have to applaud how stable everything has been since the patch. No queues, no lag, no crashes, no long load screens.
Dev team and crypic, thank you. But please take on board that simply increasing hit points of npcs
dose not equal fun or interestin, especially when rewards have been nerfed.

Edit, well done cryptic I really am pleased to have lost that bet.
I'm not at all impressed with PWEs support of this work, but its their bank balance.

So... thanks but NO thanks.

Thanks Cryptic and PWE for all the hard work and hours put in to this expansion!

The happy players are too busy playing. I'm stuck at work for another 4.5 hours. I know I liked what was on tribble, will see how it is live.
I echo this, so far I've had no problems (Touch wood) - upgraded a bunch of T5's and played with the Intel ships, im really enjoying it.
Okay enough of that... when is X3 coming out?

Though IMO LOR was better. Just speaking my mind.
I'm sorry to people who I, in the past, insulted, annoyed, etc.

P.S The new plasma rifles are ridiculously small even for my 5ft 9in player.
