I agree 100% with you, Cryptic isn't bad and they are bringing some cool features for season 9, but indeed if this was a FED problem it was probably fixed.
I like the intrepid alot, even for a Tactical player ( I hate those people who say you can't fly a science ship as a tactical officer blabla) Galaxy I dunno, but the galaxy X is pretty cool except for the boff layout Never had a defiant though, never found it that interesting
