The Fersans finally have their own ship and it comes with a railgun. The trait and console sound cool too.

It's a Good time to be an Ally of the Empire.
Never thought we would see a Ferasan ship and hoped it would be a HEC or Flight Deck Cruiser, but this looks cool non-the less.
Can't wait to see what other heavy weapons they roll out and when they update other ships with them like the Kor, Mah'ta, Kolasi, and Veteran ship to name a few.

Now I kinda want to make a Feresan. But I already got too many characters.
What do you mean? Can you clarify?
Not having a Ferasan character is considered a heresy in STO. Just FYI.

One of my Ferasans is using the Gorn ship, while one has the new Kitty ship, and my 3rd cat has a T6 Jem HEC.
I'm waiting for a Recruitment event to make second Gorn to put in the Gorn ship, as my current Gorn is rocking a Krenn, Korath Rozenko and Paradox.
Have Catians unlocked for tailor (hehe tail) features, but I'll likely make a Catian then too. Already have 2 Reman.
Then I am a heretic.
If it allows making a KDF character to benefit from it, yes. I think for the Delta Recruitment event I made another Klingon. Or was it the Gorn? Something at least.
Ah, I see, thank you. That's very neat!
I'm cautiously optimistic!
I've been flying it over the past couple of days and haven't noticed this. Will look closer tonight!
Love ships that get extra animations. Like D4X.
Actually, you can - at least in terms of who benefits most from it. While awesome for any build, the trait it looks like it works best on ships that don't need Evasive to escape and don't need to point at their targets, IE broadside cruisers. On a raider, which really should be the definition of hit-and-run, you sacrifice your EM-boosted escape option. OTOH both the Kor and D4X can use Attack Pattern Lambda which helps a bit.
Really, it would have made sense to have an initial damage boost then the defense boost. But I can see why that would be mechanically awkward.
That would indeed be awkward, having Temporal Investigations comb all over your company searching for other temporal violations... "Did Cryptic really deliver on schedule, or did they just copy the build from 2 weeks later?"
As long as "hit and run" is linked to evasive maneuvers, it's pretty much stuck as it is ("run and hit") because of the need to trigger the getaway maneuver. The downside is that this works great for ships which use Evasive to engage the enemy (notably, cruisers) but is in some ways counter-productive for ships which use Evasive to, well, evade - like raiders. The irony of this trait is that it's much better for my DHC-build D7 than my D4X.
IMO a better solution would be to have linked the bonus to Attack Pattern Omega, which is a better fit for hit-and-run tactics and could accommodate the pattern better - offensive boost first, deployed while on an attack run, then a defensive boost as the user shoots past and evades away. However, that would have appealed to a much smaller chunk of the playerbase (and would not work with all ships).
