Since I started playing again, I've found that sector patrols have been removed and now you can just jump into different solar systems to do a 'system patrol'. At least that's what I discovered when I created a new SF character (Just to try the new tutorial).
However, when I return to these systems with my main toon (lvl 60 Starfleet), all I can see are the foundry missions - no system patrols, no 'enter X system' option. I can still do the Romulan Republic system patrols, but I'd really like to do the Cardassian ones. Is there a reason I can't access any of them?
Thanks.

No, not Alerts, patrols. The Tau Dewa Patrols are nowhere near as good as they once were, back when they were 17x more efficient for farming XP, but they are Patrols nonetheless. I do think there's a wraparound kicking about the mission listings, but it's been awhile since I've done that...
Try looking it up in sto.gamepedia.com. It may have some info on it. But every System Patrol I've ever done always required actually going to get the mission before I could do the Patrols, just like any other mission. Otherwise, it just shows me the Foundry missions.

Some guy on Reddit made a list of many of them

Some of them seem to have level requirements
The randomly generated thing you're talking about was discontinued and removed from the game due to it generating some really bizarre things. Those were mostly dealing with Cluster Missions and First Contact stuff. All of that has been pulled from the game, and even though you'll see parts of it, none of it is still in effect. Even the First Contact NPC is still by Admiral Quinn, but he only gives you a Cross-FAction Boff once you hit Teir 4 of your Diplomacy. Otherwise , he used to give First Contact missions. Still has part of the First Contact speach, but the rest of it is non-functional.
Just try those on the lists I provided you with early. Any Patrol missions for a Federation officer will be closer to the Spacedock. Further from Spacedock, the higher your level will need to be to attempt it. You also MUST find the place or person that gives you the Patrol missions. This can be the planet, but often it's a specific NPC.
