They've made leveling quite a bit faster. It takes me only a few hours of gameplay, and I'm a very lightweight player. I don't min/max, I don't optimize for the absolute best numbers, I just play. If you're a serious player who knows how to get all the best out of your ship and crew, you'll probably do it even faster than I do.
Many people think they've made it too easy, but I like it as it is.
Before they rebalanced the way leveling works, it took me about two weeks to get from Commander 30 to Commander 36. I'm a slow player who stops to enjoy the scenery and TRIBBLE around in Earth Space Dock.
However, since I've come back around Jan 12th, I'm about 1 exploration mission shy of Rear Admiral 40. So it won't take you long. Especially if you do the story missions, which I skipped out on because I don't like high yield plasma torpedoes.
I'm at level 26 with just under 15 played hours. I expect to get to 30 (captain) in about 2-3 hours of play. 4 levels is roughly 6-7 missions, at around 20 minutes per mission.
If you jump into the 'red alert' Borg incursions if there happens to be one in your sector block, that will kick you up quite a bit. I've quite literally advanced a character an entire grade simply due to those things.
Personally, I think leveling in this game is too easy, but lacking more content, it's probably best to allow people to get to VA as quick as possible. However that's a discussion for another thread (which I am sure has been discussed, likely ad nausium).
Its taken me about a week (with lots of wifi issues) to get from lieutenant 1 to commander 29 (its allot harder i made ltcmd one day and then commander the next but the rest has all been as a commander and i should have made it but had several connectivity issues

yet it took you 10 month to find an appropriate response to this thread!
I leveled my first char from 1 to 50 within a week. As soon as you hit level 10 start running the Mirror Events and you're fine. Don't forget to run the missions for equipment and EC between the Mirror Events.

What's the rush? Once you get to Vice Admiral ... then what? Man, slow down and enjoy the ride.
And yeah, slow down and enjoy the ride. There will be plenty of grind left for you at Vice Admiral

Hahahahahahaha :-) Laughing so hard at the moment. Hopefully this player never made it in a STF :-P
But leveling is going to fast. My Klingon got to 50 in two weeks. Just with doffs, the dailys at the academy, two 2 STF and 4 nebula marauding.
My first character was 50 in 3 weeks only with half the story missions completed
