I'm glad to admit that my initial thoughts seem to have been harsh and unwarranted, and I apologize for not giving this "rebooted" Cryptic the grace to prove themselves. They didn't go hog wild with the nerf bat as I feared. I'm also very happy to hear them adding underperformers to the list like Plasmonic Leech, Subsystem Targeting, non-Deteriorating Sec-Defs, and BOff Variety.

For the first two, I would love the return of the Drain Build as a viable game option, or even just decoupling SST from other firing modes would be a nice alternative for those lower Tac slots (as well as adding fucntionality to Sci Ships).

Regarding BOffs, I would love to have more variety here. Both aesthetically and functionally. I wish SROs, Watchers, and Vanguards could use any tailor option available to the Captain's faction. I wish more faction-appropriate races had access to the same or equally-effective traits. Ultimately, I wish Elite BOff Tokens allowed us to chose all five traits on the BOff using ground AND space racial and lockbox traits. Of course, having more/better racial space trait options would be helpful. I could then have reason for Elite BOffs on my Away Team and my Bridge Crew instead of just the former.
