(PS4) Random Initial Thoughts.

Random initial thoughts. I'm on PS4.
1)Space Combat is HELLA FUN. Its a lot more fun than I expected it to be. I've had several pulse-pounding "oh TRIBBLE wtf is going on what hit me" moments in combat, but its also paced well enough that i have had time to recover from those, which is nice.
2)Ground Combat is pretty good so far. But not nearly as fun as Space is. I don't like the tab-target mechanic on L2 though. Rather it just be a straight ADS free-aim. Otherwise, Ground Combat is pretty nice.
3)The control scheme really works very well, especially in Space. Even without setting the auto-use on skills, they are really easy to manually use from the radial menus, imo.
4)God, after the starter ship, Warbirds are SEXY. Best-looking ships in the game easy. All the Federation ships that I have seen look like Frogs.
5)Not sure if it is a good or bad thing that Romulan Republic NPCs don't acknowledge that my character is Reman and not Romulan. On one hand, it's obviously a game mechanic or writing limitation. On the other hand, I can look at it like the RR people treat Remans equally rather than just a slave caste.
6) Romulan Republic uniforms are confusing. They kinda don't even look like Uniforms at all. I'd like to get the official colors and such for my Bridge Officers and Ship Crew, just so everything matches.
7) Tovan's not as bad as people made him out to be. Yeah, He pops up in convos, but i've already had several moments where he said "no we shouldn't do this, we should go to this instead" and my character basically said "STFU and do what I said".
8)The Tab-Target, both on Ground and in Space, is pretty wonky. Sometimes I find myself rapidly switching targets randomly, especially in space.
9)When are we going to get our own forums on the PS4 and Xbox tabs?

6) I am not aware of really official guidelines. It seems to me the whole uniform thing might actually be a bit intentional - the Republic is so newly formed that they haven't really done the work to make those uniforms actually uniform.
9) Good question. But it could be that especially for the start, they want the players of the different platforms t mingle, so that the PC players can give all the good advice. That said; I believe the German forums already have some console subforums. (Which probably won't help you.)
This is an issue on the PC version of the game too.
Good question.
The Germans managed to create special categories for XBox and PS4 though. It can't be that hard.

it has taken some getting used to, that's for sure.
but the way you explained it makes sense.
