Have thoughts on the new Landing Page? Leave them here, and thanks!

1) The Featured Episode pane isn't really helpful when there's no Featured Episode ongoing. (At least, I can't access Renegade's Regret on a character that hasn't gotten that far in the New Frontiers arc, despite it still being featured in the Featured Episode tab.)
2) "What's New" may be a nice pane to have within a month of a new major release (Full season, half season, anniversary/summer/winter event, and expansions), but after that it's not really new. Expansions maybe can go 2 months (for returning players).
3) The C-Store pane should reflect new, interesting deals. Buying Keys for the Infinity Lockbox isn't exactly new or interesting. This would be a great time to spotlight the Elite Starter Pack or link to the Arc website page for the Gamma Vanguard Starter Pack in anticipation of next month's expansion launch.
4) While the Romulan Minefield is new (well, revamped, but not exactly the same as the old Minefield queues), the current 3-week event is the Mirror Universe. This would be a good page to put it so players can hop right to the Normal difficulty version of the queue or to load up the queue UI with 1 click.
5) I don't know if the technology exists yet for this, but maybe have a rotating array of information that can be displayed, either every X hours/days or every time a log-in is detected?
Seriously guys... promotions are a necessity, I get that. But this is just silly - even sillier than the price tags on the 3D printed ships! Once, when you first log in is more than enough to see the same thing. So please, for the love of all things Trek and the quality of your playerbase's experience, put this right.
Please make it a permanent element of the UI in the upper left corner. We need to be reminded constantly to buy keys
No, in all seriousness: Please offer a "toggle landing page" option. A new player past level 10 might get some benefit from this, but as a veteran player I really do not see why I would have to see this every time I switch characters. It's an annoying UI element that obstructs my view when I log in I have to click away before I can play. And it doesn't, in my opinion, offer anything of use. Please allow us to disable this feature.

1) Not only does this one not close down upon moving like the one in Neverwinter, I can't even move with it open! Also, actually clicking on one of the buttons on it takes me to another pop up UI - which is fine - but when I close that the Landing Page isn't gone too. It takes me right back to the Landing Page instead, complete with inability to move. No.
2) Why is there a Featured Episode window when there's no Featured Episode? Wouldn't that be more useful for promoting something else. Like, take today. We have Mirror Invasion Event and the Junior Officers event (and for the quick the tails end of the Phoenix Prize Pack Event). Any and all of these would make more sense in that window than a no longer existing Featured Episode.
3)Yes I know you want us to buy keys, but maybe try promoting your C-Store on something more exiting than keys. Sure as hell not gonna make me wanna go there.
4) The window with the new queue Romulan Minefield actually makes sense and is kinda nice, but maybe you should think about rotating the content there and promote different queues? Might get some of the older queues going, who knows? (If this window already rotates content and I just didn't stick around in-game long enough to find out, please ignore this.)
5) Please give us a way to disable this? Or at minimum make it so it isn't upon every character change but only upon log in of the first character. I have about 5-10 characters I cycle through quickly and even this one time this was incredibly irritating. Having to deal with this every day is going to be discouraging from playing the game and I can't hink of how this is going to feel to players that have more characters than I do.

i HATE the new landing page it takes up the screen and shouldnt be in your face like that it should be only an option on weather to view it or not. Fix it before season 15 comes out. we have a news page on the website if we want to see the latest news it doesnt need to be in game also.

Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
+1 for the option to disable it
Basically it adds 7 more clicks to my day that already has many thousands. So I guess I would describe it as somewhat irritating.
My main concern was whether it would lag or hang my game and it doesn't seem to so that's o k.
