It's damn near impossible to effectively steer my ship while hitting CTRL+Shift. I can do it but my hand hurts after awhile >:-[ Not to mention some enemies are OPed as heck which means we need it back more than ever!

Edit* Emergency Patch? Hah, yeah right, We've seen 2 patches since this broke. (Maybe even 3 but don't quote me on that, my memory fails me at the moment lol)

+1 Yes!

I thought I was the only one that noticed this. It confused the heck out of my the first few times I tried to collect. I thought "Holy crap, I have like 20 completed assignments! Sweet! .....wait a minute...awwww man.."

I don't like the changes at all. First of all it ruined my build. Cannot get same ship stats due to lacking flexibility. Costs increased. Not enough diversity. No finetuning possible. And I cannot experiment because every change cost re-spec token. How on earth should I play test If I don't get unlimited free re-spec tokens?

And why is my transwarp drive gone?

Really liking the changes, especially the gold dilithium. A really good idea for something to be added that makes buying a subscription on top, more worthwhile.

I thought the freighter bug was as intended and I was doing something wrong. haha :S

Beginning to suspect the worst on this issue...

Is that three in every four will miss with standard, common equipment with an unspecced toon? Or three in every four will miss in a more probable situation, which is a toon with the acc trait, fully specced and with [acc] mods on weapons?

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed skill point issue. Just wanted to add that before I had skill points in both space and ground.

Granted they have changed, but I tried to spec my character as before and couldnt do it. It just seams that there are less skills.

Solution
Instead of making skills points 50% more expansive then before across the board - tier them
There are 5 tiers for skills
Tier 1 = 50%
Tier 2 = 40%
Tier 3 = 30%
Tier 4 = 20%
Tier 5 = 10% more cost then before

yes i agree it seems almost impossible to get a character into a state where they can train and do things

Is anyone else at the higher levels having trouble applying all of their respec points? I'm no math wiz but I'm always winding up with 50 to 250 points left over at Lieutenant General / Vice Admiral. Since i can't gain anymore levels, leaving those points unspent is wasteful. It might help to have the Tier 1 skills cost only 100 instead of starting at 150. Otherwise, I like the new revamp and descriptions; much more user-friendly.

Edit: I ran into another oddity. When respeccing a Captain 8 character who had about 407 points unused, all except for 107 points were spent. Once the "Accept" button was pressed, a series of messages popped up on the screen denoting the award of a Captain rank accolade as well as Admiral Accolades I, II and III. When checking in the accolades log, sure enough, all were there and checked-marked with Flag Officer unchecked. The abilities associated with those accolades are not in the selectable powers list.

So let me get this straight....your saying your not going to renew your subscription that expires on Sunday because there is a bug that has not been fixed on a test server? I'm not sure if you have read previous posts but on this test server they do small fixes on Tuesday's usually, and bigger roll outs on Thursday's or Friday's. The only thing that is going to warrant an emergency patch on a test server is something that is soooo game breaking that they can't gather any useful data. Since this is a test server you should just expect to find things that are bugged out. And yes there is a good chance they the might be bugged out for a week or longer.

beta test ... chill
