Now that we have these new ship capabilities to "freshen up the arena", are you doing anything differently?

No, sticking with the tried and true ships/crew I've been using.

    Not yet, anyway. If I start slipping faster in the ranks that currently, I might re-evaluate.

    Not really. The changes only improved the set up I already had going, so no need to change really.
    Drunken Dahar Masters is recruiting active players.
    PM for details.

    So long and thanks for all the fish.

    The strategy that I have used for all of the skirmishes still works fine. I haven't had to change a thing. If anything, I'm blowing through the missions faster than in the past.

    I have done nothing to change my arena philosophy - the Bounty’s updated ship ability doesn’t really affect my Admiral division strategy and I don’t care about the Commander or Captain divisions. I’ll care even less for October and November when there is nothing for those of us who have played longer than six months to shoot for other than bragging rights.

    As for the Skirmish, I haven’t gotten going yet but don’t expect too many changes there either. It will be interesting to try out the Cube’s new ship ability but I’m going to roll with the same crew I’ve used since day two or three of the very first Skirmish event.

    With the exception of some ships, it's a little different but not by much. Case in point, I'm mostly playing Capt. division and using Voyager which didn't get a "special power". I'm still climbing.

    Skirmish, no, not at all. Cube, same 3 crew, and 1 event crew. Melts opponents just fine.

    Arena, I haven't had enough time to consider all the options, but I may switch back from Kong to the newly-buffed Bounty.

    A little. I'd generally stuck to the Bounty for it's cloaking, but switched to the 5* Ferengi Marauder for the cooldown effect. Both have worked well for me, but I'm enjoying the fresh ability.

    My crew compliment hasn't changed much, beyond what was necessary for changing ships. Although my go-to for the Marauder already worked well with the new ability, so I didn't need to fine tune anything.

    Meh, I only do the occasional battle to maintain rank. I'm pleased the bounty is even more overpowered and I have been experimenting with the new 2* Romulan ship which seems to melt opponents just fine.

    Nope, no effect on my setup. At least there may someday, should the UI be updated, a chance for me to try something new.
