Seems so. I don't envy the ancient code they must have to comb through for new/better things, but at the same time I'd really like to see better use of Tribble as a test server before patches are pushed to Production.
We are aware of problems with loadouts and traits after yesterday’s maintenance and we’re looking into it.
Hmmmm. OK, good. Glad they're looking into it and kudos for speaking to it immediately. Even so, I know this may blow the minds of many game studios these days, but.... Try rolling back a/the bad patch and then doing internal QA testing before pushing it to production.

True, but isn't it kind of a fun trope for the game at this point? Perhaps even a trope for the shows?
Hopefully they'll work the update into a story. It'd be nice to have more narrative to changes within the game, as the new team takes over.
Note: This Earth Space Dock update is going live on PC at a later date (not 12/11). We'll keep you updated, and until then, enjoy this behind-the-scenes look!

The intent behind my original reply was to complain and hope for a change in how dark recent Trek shows have been, except SNW. I know we all have our favorites; I'm just not at all a fan of this trend of the bad guys being cool in Star Trek. Again, in Star Trek. The casts, the acting, the production are all great and I'm glad more Trek exists; I, personally, just wish it was a bit more shiny.
Do I want those shows not to exist in the first place? No. I just don't rewatch them like I do others, thus I don't care to make pumpkins about starring characters who are not the characters I'd want in humanity's future.
That's great! My original en-edited reply congratulated you, but then I thought, "This is the internet. Burrito Trucks can't carve pumpkins...." LOL
My favorite is the Mugato.
How about we carve a Spock or Picard or Mariner or really anyone else who isn't a genocidal dictator? Hmm? Maybe?
No? Perhaps my dream for Star Trek has too much hope for humanity's future? Not enough grit, tears, and flashy booms?
EDITORIAL (from Indy): Save your Zen. This is likely meant to get people to spend the Zen they have banked already, before the good Black Friday sales.
I'm not sure. I have seen anything about that. (Then again, I'm not overly interested in the ship, so I may overlook things related to it.)
Have you tested it since these patch notes?

I wonder if the "14th" is a typo and/or if the "21st" will be kept as the end date, considering this was posted today (2024 Oct 17).
Agreed. I would have loved to have that kind of callback to the story.
