So with a few days left, is anyone sticking around for the final game?
i'm not sure. certainly not at first. i never really got into the game. combat never felt fun. space combat was just me circling a guy firing all weapons at once. if my shields dropped on the left side, i circle the other way while those recharge, still spamming fire all weapons and bridge officer abilities.
ground combat got a bit better with the last patch, ordering your away team to move to certain positions felt good... i generally positioned them around a corner, grabbed aggro then ran back to them with a trail of enemies shooting me (not very trek like). but away team missions failed because AI pathing was awful. my crew constantly got stuck on corners or pillars just following me. to fix it, i had to run back to the stuck crew member to let him synch up to my new position. (this was mostly a problem in ship interiors).
i'm still not a fan of the dozens of small instances for zones. meeting up with friends will be a hassle (it was in champions, and they used the same system). i'm not a fan of the general ground movement. I'd prefer the game to start me at a full run from a stop or direction change. having it ramp up makes the movement feel sluggish.
i didnt play enough to get a solid opinion of class balance or ability upgrades.
