A live game, lags behind (technologically) it's in development brothers (NW currently). This is necessary to ensure that our game can function. While NW may have new shinies that people want, in it's current state it also has a lot of broken things (it's in Beta afterall).

So, yes, we're all on the same engine. No, we don't all have the exact same code all the time. Yes, eventually we are likely to get the code NW is working on. No, this doesn't guarantee that feature X will be included in STO. |
I see. That makes a lot of sense. I kind of figured on that sort of thing anyway. I still hope we can see those kind of things in STO, they would be really awesome.

That is one of the things that makes me really unhappy about STO. The
space filling paths in this game are really obvious, and rather obnoxious (Cure Ground, I'm looking at you!). I'm glad that New Romulus is better at that sort of thing, but we even saw it a bit in
Temporal Ambassador. I guess that's why I like vertical maps so much.
