What's the best place to level starship mastery?

I'm not talking about leveling my character, I'm talking about pure space combat to grind out my ship traits. It used to be Argala, but since the 30 minute cooldown went into effect it's less efficient. What other Delta quadrant patrols are good for space combat? Or are there other zones that are good?
So far I've been playing Undine battlezone and fleet alerts. Beta Thoridor in Tau Dewa block also comes to mind. Am I missing anything for pure space combat?

Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    repeat your favorite missions or patrol delta --- there are a dozen patrols across both sectors.
    28
    18
    11
    6
    ... why did you make me wait and wait and wait to post cryptic?

    Solo or duo starbase 24.

    Argala and Gerren used to be good places, and they still are, you just need to find something to do during the cooldown. That could also be leveling a ship on another character.

    I don't know about the kill payouts from the Tau Dewa patrols, but they also feature a lot of back-to-back space combat.

    I found the Borg Red Alerts in sector space to be good for raising Starship mastery. Join the REDALERT channel in-game to get notified of which sector has an active alert.

    Used to do Argala for 5K XP/Specs

    After last NERFdoom...hardly get around 3600 for any patrol or STFs. Anyone seen anything higher these days?

    Here's how I grind space right now...
    Rotate between the following TauDewa patrols

    Carraya - Tal Shiar
    Japori - Naussicaan
    Beta Thoridar - Klingons
    Gamma Eridon - Gorn
    Archer - Tholians
    Narendra - Hirogen

    Every 30 minutes or so, I do Nequencia and Acamar missions.

    Each patrol/mission gives between 3000-3700 XP, and, if you run them in a circuit, the cooldowns are no problem.

    Each Patrol is a kill all the baddies mission, but a different race.

    I was able to pop three Mastery Levels in one sitting in Argala. Im assuming it doesnt matter where you go anymore because of the nerf/buff to patrols.

    Just go into a patrol with multiple large waves of ships and youll be fine.

    The Tholian and Borg Red Alerts are good. Add any space grinder in the foundry for a quick 1-2 mastery levels. I've heard that loot limit resets at midnight GMT (haven't tested it yet) so plan two grinder runs around that time and you should almost have full mastery.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
