I tried logging in just now but I got stuck.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the SG5 installer to get the updated shiplist file.
I logged in as a Romulan using the ID Markis. It started me in the top right corner in Federation Space. The map did not look the same as the web map. I couldn't see any Romulan spaces on the map, but I figured I'd try to migrate toward somewhere safer and clicked on an adjacent hex. I got a mandatory mission, but I had an additional Patrol mission. I picked that one, hoping it would be more survivable. The mandatory mission was Instigator, which I am not familiar with yet.
As soon as I got to the combat screen, I got a Mission Successful message, but then I got hung up. I waited a few minutes, but it didn't look like I would be able to get out. I couldn't do anything, so I pressed Alt+F4 and exited the game.
Hope I didn't screw anything up. Please alert me if I am doing anything wrong, was I supposed to select Instigator instead?
