I voted for like it. Why? Because this poll means crap.
No matter what the consensus is, XC is a piece of crapola designed to skew every faction into some stupid POS with no counterplay that revolves on whoring (bombing or otherwise.)

Mostly I like it because of the more level playing field for dogfighting now between Adv fighters and Heavy Ints....qf back for GT, specific boosters for figs/ints, SRS return at nil cost, TT's, lower cost SY ships, sensors GA to Gar, PP removal
What I dont like (and which is being addressed so it wont matter in a few weeks) is how we are going to SY vs SY slug offs, how Vulcans seem inferior to AC, the demise of FB's regardless of their problems; and due to the complexities of the game, the potential demise of other problematic children from DN.
I would love to see cheese moved to 'insane expensive in XC' rather than being turned off (for nostalgias sake). If you can mine the map unnopposed you deserve to have some fun with your opposition (or as Weed once put it, a 'win' button). In the same way, if you are being caned and the other team is saving for cheese, the temptation for cheese should be enough to allow you to get on with a comeback instead.

At first I rejoiced in this, but now...
I realize I like everything in XC better then CC or DN.
A few overall things I like...
Games are faster paced.It seems ships move faster. Before it felt like I was piloting a submarine, now not so much.Missiles are more practical.The various techpaths (including sy), all seem equally capable of destroying things. Before tac could do nothing but kill miners, sup could do nothing but kill bases, and exp could do nothing but kill ships. (Until adv tech of course.)
Quickfires are kinda stupid, I was thinking it might be better to just scrap those, and give interceptors an ECM of 0.6 or something (so regular combat missiles lock on faster)

Wow. So many entirely incorrect things about this post... If it wasn't obvious before that Alien had no clue wtf he was talking about, it sure as hell is now.

congrats and welcome to the next circle
Hand your key-of-pain-through-leading-via-your-face to the guy in the derby hat
next
find the stinky fellow with the east Kansas City accent and say *whispers* "wombats are chav's mortal enemy"
show your pinkie toes and the Ultra Fleer chase card of Chuck K error card signed by a ZL current or retired and then jump in the East River
The world is about to change for you and get very complicated

On the step that involves the stinky fellow. Don't know where to look, but damn, I am trying.

Not voting on this topic. Any commander worth a damn is going to 'legally' exploit anything they can find. Ryne can hunt down every imbalance until he goes insane.
So if that's what the community wants, so be it. IMHO this community was at its best when Noir would only implement a balance every so often on DN. CC has its heart in the right place, but this community is a mob that will continue to except changes from those who can promise and deliver.
I do feel that if the factions get too vanilla, this game will lose all meaning to me; however, since my HD crash and the fact that number crunching bores the living @#(! out of me I have to respectively abstain.
