Winter Event almost over, Rep System almost done, whats next?

The Winter Event is almost over, as far as i'm concerned i'm done with it, got a few thousand Romulan marks out of it which will finish the Romulan Rep Systems on all my 10 chars in a few days (just clicking UI buttons every 20hrs now...)

The Omega Rep i need a few more days and STFs to finish Tier 5, then i'll be grabbing some gear in the next one or two weeks after that ...and DONE.


Apart from grinding silly amounts of Fleetmarks and Dilithium to get any fleet project moving at Tier 4(kdf)/5(fed) i don't really see any more reason to log in after that.


I'm DONE with STFs, they have nothing left for me anymore after i got my gear, they are old content, they are plagued with visual glitches that make them unfun to play...
I'm DONE with those 3 Romulan missions... and hell i'm done with Eppoh tagging and New Romulus in general (ok i guess i should go there to see the last 3 story pieces from the tier unlocks at some point... so thats about one afternoon entertainment left).



Soooo whats next?

3 Year Anniversary Event? when is that exactly?

Season 8 is scheduled for MAY, last thing i've heard... just thats just about 4 or 5 months away.
And i have no idea what S8 will be about anyway, all i've heard was the next Featured Episode Series will be released around the time that Season 8 is released... not sure if that is still the plan?


...so nothing really new for 4 Months(?!) apart from 1 token mission to get a free Ambassador Class.

Is there anything i'm missing?

Oh right that Dominion Lockbox!... *yawn*

Anything else?

    Some days I wish I didn't have 6 toons (1 per class per faction) with the reputation grind but now I see it definitely keeps me at least passively logging in. I don't see why everyone zoomed to T5 reputation, I'm at T2-3 on 3 of my toons, the other 3 are Tier 1ish right now.

    I'd say focus on alts if you have any, or, yeah Foundry and fleet base grinding.
    Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and the players love it! No, seriously! ...Why are you laughing so hard? :(

    3 year anniversary in a few weeks.
    Something else is planned at the end of winter.
    Should I start posting again after all this time?

    What's the hurry?

    Why zip though the content that fast, when you already know there's nothing new coming till at least February...

    Seems kinda silly to me to actually take the fun out of the game on purpose.

    Anniversary event should be next month. I think a FE was supposed to come with it, but not sure.

    They backed up the addition of the Andorian ship to sometime during the first half of this year. I think it was originally supposed to come this month.

    We will soon be seeing the Dominion making more waves in the Alpha Quadrant... I can't wait!

    I do STF's all the time, but Hive Space Elite definitely keeps me on my toes.

    Now you have all the fancy gear or will have soon you choose to log out? So acquisition is everything? Why not go use that ace gear on mission replays, Fleet marks events, Foundry missions and generally just hang with your fleet mates?

    This post strikes of another "Push button, get bacon, eat, muwhaa I'm bored now"

    use your imagination mate, at least go exploring the foundry, perhaps even go make your own missions. There is always a shed load to do with a little thought and imagination.

    We have transwarp now - why can't we go exploring strange new worlds across the galaxy - meet new people and new civilizations - go to new places that no-one in STO has gone before?

    This is a game, not a chore. My main is at T-5 on Omega and close to T-5 on Romulan. My alts will all remain at T-0 unless I start playing one a lot.

    After I am done with the reputation system, I am leveling up three more federation characters so that I can use my stipend to buy all the remaining lower-tier federation ships and get the consoles, then I consider this game "beat" and will probably stop logging in, for the most part.

    Remember that the original project time was almost twice as long. S7 was intended to last until May when S8 rolls out.

    As for me, I pushed through my main for the cool armor and weapons sets. My alts I'm taking my time with. Most are at T4 now because of the loot box, which I'm fine with because that was my goal. The T4 Omega Graviton Amplifier was what I wanted for the extra punch. Their free marks are dried up now though so I'll play them every once in a awhile. Some days I feel like a carrier and others a escort, maybe I'll make T5 by May, maybe I won't with them but in the end its just casual because I can't stand those STFs anymore.

    The odd thing is, I'm happy with the new system and I think its a vast improvement over the old. However, I just don't want to run STFs anymore. Maybe its not having the addiction of "Maybe this is the one!". I dunno, Its nice having a set goal though.
