Faction choice begins very early around level 10 and can be achieved in under an hour if you know how the game works. You can use faction choice ships, but they do cost C-store credits, or refined dilithium in order to use them. The good news is that you only have to purchase them once, and they unlock for all your…
My first impression is that Cryptic didn't do enough to ease the transition from the old system to the new. I was maxed out on the old system, now back down to ground zero. It's going to take months to get back up to max. I have entire stacks of every single particle trace, alloy, and artifact in the game. They are all…
A good number of those are Fleet ships, you can exclude those for me. I may be the rare gamer that doesn't particularly like joining guilds, or fleets for that matter.

Maybe even add a time penalty if you are auto-booted by the system. Just…

Chroniton torpedoes work ok. I use them on my Scimitar, and D'deridex. PVE is all I do in this game, so these work for me, but may not work for…

I've bought both the TOS, and Enterprise bundles. I got more value out of the Enterprise bundle. The TOS gives…
Lower level Romulan Science, and Tactical Vessels would be a nice addition especially for new players who just want to try something different other than playing the role of a Klingon, or Federation character. I love the Romulan Class, and for ground combat, a tactical Romulan is awesome. It just sucks that I have to wait…
