ok so far from what I've tested this is what I've come up with.

First off the steering:
It's hard to get a grip on and if the intelligent camera is turned on you just cannot steer at all, it's near impossible (at least not straight). It'll take a lot of getting used to, though I quite like it now that I'm starting to get the hang of it. A good change I'd say, just takes adjusting to.
I like that I can chat and not worry about drifting into a DS or what not. it is quite the relief, screw teh conquest beacons this does the job perfectly. Ya shoulda put this in place instead of the new CQ system.
I think the biggest drawback to the new steering thing though is that you have to press like four or five buttons at the same time.
The mouse for the camera,
one or two arrow keys to steer
and the number pad keys for ship subsystems.

Secondly is the loot system:
I noticed the cry drop values have been lowered by about 15% (roughly) and that's from what I got with the Rank 52 marauders on the moon... I got 42 - 47 cryonite, usually it's about 50 - 55 if memory serves me right. However the cryonite drop rate was quite higher than usual which is good. but once the cryo rush was over I got almost nothing but BPs.
Which is where my next point begins. You put the bps into too many pieces. 18 bp have to be collected to make a purchaseable protector, which I got from a rank 52 repobug.. I can't remmber the name of the BP itself. I think you made that too much. Another pilot got another item from a rank 35 something... he said it was one of 11 pieces. You should keep them the same amount in each system or it's just gunna leave alot of players peeved in higher up systems.
By the way from what I've seen the BP:cronite drop ratio is about 7:3, but that's just with me... other players seemed to get no bps at all.

I'll add more to this later most likely. nd feel free to give your own opinion here and add to it.
