Flight dynamics change?

I fly a defiant and have always loved the way it flew but since the release of DR its has been even more fluid and enjoyable. I notice it most when i pop APO where the ship seams move much more organically than it did before.

I did not see any patch notes that states anything about this. Anyone else notice a slight change in the flight dynamics of your escort? I do not say sci or eng ship because it has not been noticed by me.

I am thinking it has something to do with the pilot specialization because i noticed as i have been pumping all my spec to secondary pilot. I have 5 skill are about to get the "rock and roll" ability that i cant wait to see.

Is there a patch note that says anything about this? If not i want to say great job to whoever coded that. I didnt think my ship could feel more like the show. I was wrong.

    Meanwhile, the Odyssey class seems to be having troubles...

    But good to know Defiant has improved. :)

    I still fly a fleet defiant retro as my main ship, and i was actually thinking last night that it felt more sluggish and imprecise than before the patch.

    Weird, I figure it's something to do with Specialization. But, the Oddy does this thing where it like, Floats a little up and back down in kinda a rocking motion. Like a boat on a wave when I'm in the middle of broadside combat. love the feel of that.

    Not that that's related but cool effect that doesn't alter gameplay.

    My Vesta has been turning like a dream. It's been a while since I played STO, but I don't remember it turning THIS well, despite being good before.

    My Mirror Nova was pretty sluggish though. Maybe only certain (aka paid for) ship have had a slight turn buff?

    Well under specialization, if you have a t6 or 5u. Under pilot, the secondary tree your granted an additional 10% turn rate. Maybe that's it? Because I've noticed my sovereign now drift in turns cause its rate is now too high over its speed.

    Sounds like the Eat My Dust passive in pilot specialization. It gives you a defense bonus when your shield flanks are hit and makes your ship move like that.

    Rock and Roll will make your ship do an awesome barrel roll maneuver that negates all damage.

    Thats actually the small change i was talking about lol. With the defiant it makes it feel so much better. If its the eat my dust, i love it.

    you should try flying a scimitar sometime, your head will roll.

    And you will likely cry a little bit inside.
