12, I don't see much of a point in continuing after the TOS stuff, it's just the same ol', though that may also be because I haven't actually gotten the itch to actively play again.
Not too eager to redo everything, especially with more and more stuff nowadays being character bound rather then account bound, I can appreciate that they motivate alts, but I see no point when I leave them catching dust in favor of my main Romulan anyway.
Got it to 10 on launch day and stopped, started again once the xp bonus kicked in and I'm now 57 at the second to last dominion mission, and that's with skipping wasteland
Haven't been playing a lot lately, so Kevin Timeline just hit 40 today. Next mission is the one with the Guardian of Forever - just wish I could get some alternate dialog from the Enterprise on that one, considering that my Ranger-class, the USS Wizard, is temporally appropriate for the mission...
I hit 50 when I was barely more then halfway through the Klingon War arc, the XP boost is massive for Temporal Recruits.
I stopped the story line for a bit, did the Dyson episodes to give me access to the Delta Quadrant and did a couple Red Alerts to unlock ship traits, now I'm level 59.
I'm glad though, for some reason, I have more fun going through the story missions at max level then I do at low level. I normally like being lower level in games, but in STO they make it a bit of a pain. Most of the missions in the Klingon Arc are far apart and you have no slipstream drive and move so slow.. it's annoying.
It will be much less painful in my T6 Odyssey with enhanced slip stream.
57, near 58. I'm trying to push through to 60 without exactly rushing it either, but I'm not stressed over missing the bonus xp window since casual admiralty will have me there before too long anyway.
What's really funny to me is my TOS toon is higher level than two of my three Deltas, sitting at 52 and 41...
Hit 60 tonight (doing DOFFing, of all things). Skipped Solanae after finding all the artifacts and went straight to Delta. Getting ready for the upgrade weekend and REPping up.
Have two other toons at level 5. Will do them eventually (my first was SCI, the other two are TAC and ENG). I haven't played an ENG before, so meh, should be interesting a bit. Will be doing them mainly for the fleet creds and dilithium.
Just started playing my TOS Character on Wednesday. I just reached 54, after completing 'Skirmish' tonight. Yep, all is going well. I will definitely hit 60 before this wonderful XP Global Event closes down on Wednesday.

I hit level 21, had just finished The Kuvah'Magh, before I decided to delete and re-create him, to capitalize on some 23c things I missed--and because I decided on my endgame ship, so I needed to adjust some skill & BOff decisions. With the XP bonus, I'm already level 16 on the new toon, and he's only just now doing Return to Babel... I figure I'll be a full Commander before I make it to the 25c again.
After finally plowing through the Yesterday's War Arc we're forced to do...level 56. Getting there and will hit 60 soonish.
Seriously, slamming into those YW missions was just awful. No way out of it if I wanted to go for that sweet Breen bonus set. You have to do that arc first. While the missions were decent, I hated hitting that brick wall.

Just finished Klingon War and what I guess is the first of the Yesterday's War missions, and hit 50. The Ranger-class USS Wizard has been traded in on the Paladin-class (with the Ranger skin) USS Time Bandit.
Due to the massive amount of XP we got this week I managed to get the new toon to lvl 60, fill the entire Intel tree and put 3 point into Strategist. I leveled with a mix of story missions and RAs. Surely Doff- and Admirality systems did their part too.

Played a bunch yesterday with the XP boost...
Wow, is all I have to say, I'm already level 42 and still in the Klingon arc. About to start Temporal Ambassador.
Progress is good.
But that still does not absolve me from playing through all the required missions. Still a lot of work to do if I want all the rewards.
60 and halfway through the temporal tree, although I did shell out for the full pack, which has helped a wee bit especially with having so many new ships to fit out.
Love the Chronos class with the mods ripped off the other two ships.
Same here...however, I'm powering through it like a good Cryptic metric. But it's making me pretty grumpy tbh, got another 2 weeks or so of grind to get through all the Temporal recruit hoops.
+the Specs, and Reputation rewards will be long haul and will require daily log in's to get done in a reasonable time frame.
Like who in their right mind even asked for another Recruitment Event ? ....sigh.
It wasn't me. I swear.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the 6 new TOS missions, but the grind they attached to these temporal characters is just too much. This will be my last Recruitment Event, I hope it never comes around again.
Almost 59, will be 59 in the Morning when the overnight Admiralty and Doff Missions get turned in. Just finished 'Everything Old is New' and next up is 'Night of the Comet'. Actually, it is not bad going through all the Missions again. Fortunately it is only one TOS Character needed and created.
The Rank progression Mark Awards for other Characters on the Account has taken them all to over 1,000 Temporal Marks so they are all set when the Character running Temporal completes it and does the Sponsorship Tokens for all.

I hit 60 last week and this week I have been working on spec points and filling out the rest of the temporal recruit items. I just hit 30 spec points in the temporal tree tonight.

And I hope no one asks for this event ever again.
That's the problem for me; I don't want to power through content I don't really want to play - whats the point? I play the game to enjoy it, not because I feel obliged to level up a new character that I created for the sole purpose of experiencing the new TOS levels (until level 10).
I believe at Level 10 you cannot have played the Yesterday's War episodes yet, can you? So you might still want to find a way to level up higher to get to those. (Of course, you can do that by DOFFing or something other low-time-investment thing.

I finished up the six TOS Missions at Level 21. You can't upgrade your Ship to Tier 2 in the 23rd. Went directly to Tier 3 when I bounced into the 25th.

I reached max level yesterday after completing Fluid Dynamics. Now that my AoY captain has found all of the Temporal Probes and unlocked many of "easy" bonus, it is now time to go back to my Delta Recruit captain and finish that recruitment event. From what I remember, I am halfway through Of Bajor on that captain.
After that, I can go back to devoting a little bit of time to each of my captains.

Would be higher, but I have other toons to attend to, those Risian parrots and funky monkeys won't farm themselves you know.

And it continues with Vorgon Conclusion which is level 43 and it think story arc moves to after Cardassian Struggle.
