Hey all, I have not played in many years now... it since around the time Discovery hit the airwaves. Just re-dled the game and looking to play again. What are some of the biggest new features? Biggest changed things? Has and in what ways has Picard been integrated into the games story?

You JUST missed out on a Klingon Recruitment event, but there's talk of a Temporal Recruit replay sometime in the future. No word yet on that. We're about a week into the first of a new event campaign with one potential reward being a lockbox or Promo ship of your choice (single character just like if you actually got one from a lockbox or promo box).
As for story... main thing from Picard that's been integrated has been the Picard version of Seven of Nine has made an appearance, so we have both versions in game. We also have a weapon that is dual tetryon rifles.
The first three Klingon arcs have been revamped, Discovery style Klingons were added as a subspecies of Klingon... we got a Klingon centric story arc active right now... Klingons got a lot of attention this last year.
Several Discovery actors have reprised their roles. We even got Captain Lorca.
After you reach a certain level, Endeavors unlock, which can contribute to account wide stat bonuses. We got a universal one that everyone gets every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and then we have the daily personal ones that can be done on any character. Personal ones range from "Deal X amount of Y Damage type" to "Win X amount of GPL at Dabo".
I'm sure I'm missing a few things...
To add on from here,
Assuming he means Discovery first airing, there's a lot more you missed.
- Several Trek characters came in between Season 14 and present, such as Geordi, Kira, Odo, Quark, Rom etc.
- Gamma Quadrant came out
- Playable Jem'hadar from level 60
- Cardassian species for both Klingons and Federation
- Cardassian Intel ships in the C-store along with Tier 5 Galor
- Deep Space Nine remodeled to look closer to the show inside and outside
- Romulans gained access to most of their allied faction's ships (to match Jem'hadar being able to fly all)
- Reputation Tier 6, featuring stuff such as 1 fleet module and 1 captain retrain token per reputation per character (so you can get 13 of each now per character, bound to characters)
- Scaling T6 starships (from the end of the tutorial, you can fly just about any ship and it'll scale accordingly as you level up, so no more switching starships when you reach the various milestones
- Cross-faction flying for all ships that are not veteran exclusive (free if you reach level 65 with a Klingon, 2000 zen otherwise)
Bummer to hear about missing out on the Klingon recruitment event. I remember the TOS one they did.. and another one that I'm forgetting.. and making characters for it. Might be why I had made a Discovery character, I'm guessing they did one when they introduced it.
So just to be clear.. they has been no change to the Romulan storyline due to Picard?
There is no way to make an Alien gen Cardassian into an actual Cardassian. There is a Discovery Klingon BOff you can get in the C-Store, but it is an older one that comes with the House T'Kuvma outfit. Don't know if the House Kor is still available, but DSC Klingon characters should unlock House Mo'Kai outfit. Just be aware that the DSC Klingon isn't like DSC Fed. Its a subSPECIES, not a faction. So its still core KDF start as if you're from 2409.
And I guess you missed out on Mirror Tilly's appearance too.
Depending on the uniform I think. If you're trying to use the Wrath of Khan style I don't think they line up anymore, and haven't for years. Most of the older uniforms like the TNG, First Contact, and STO Sierra/Antares still do.
Ok, thought I was going nuts because the colors were matching up with the guides anymore. I thought it might be just me, not seeing them right or my monitors settings were messed up. I didn't check every uniform, just a couple and was getting strange results.
Of course, this is bad for someone like me. I'm red/green colorblind, so if I want a screen accurate uniform I have to rely on the guides to get it. I can't just eyeball it. Something I remember seeing a few years back was someone suggesting adding in buttons that will auto-apply screen accurate color combos to the uniforms but I guess that never happened.
