I was wondering how people have progressed to cap so fast?
A fair estimate of my play time is 3-4 hours a day.
I play a mix of exploration, episodes, pvp ground/ship combat, social, fleet action etc etc.
I have Starfleet LtC6 and Klingon LtC6.
So are the people with max cap hardcore levelers or do they play 10 hours a day or exploters?

Ive been averaging about 5 hours a day, i will be admiral next week i guess at my current rate, AND IM TRYING NOT to lvl doing as much wandering as possible.
The lvling is just too fast.
Like i said in another thread I have never reached endgame in a MMO i get bored.
Lotro was the longest traditional style mmo ive played made it to lvl50 thats not even cap.
And that took me 4 MONTHS less than a month of STO and ill be at cap!!.
Single player game with a monthly fee.
Its a joke
They are not exploiters...they just find the most effecient form of gaining XP...and they grind it out.
Do you play Klingon also?
Fair point.
From a casual viewpoint with a full life, the leveling is right on the money for me.
I won't hit cap any time sooner. I made Lt.Commander 7 yesterday. 2 hours a day is all i can give. Also after the recent fix of space encounters levelling will slow down a bit but you won't see a huge difference.
No i dont cause klingon side has no content ive spent maybee 5 h total on klingon side.
AND I HAVE NOT tired to efficiently lvl infact like i said im trying not to.
Worst part is, if i reach end game in a month and theres nothing to do why will i pay my monthly fee?
Uh.. not really. It's only a matter of time played, not efficiency.
I went through all the missions, did all the quests. And yes, I READ all the quests and got into the story etc.
And I hit cap 3 days ago.
I averaged 6-8 hours a day after classes.
Currently i am in between jobs, i was sacked from my company, but another dept on the same company wants me. So i'll have to wait six months before being elegible again.
And i've got over 7.000 USD in fines from the company for being sacked without just cause so.. livin ok
I wake up at 7 am.. play for one hour or so, watch some tv, play for more two hours listening to music, study some, watch some more tv, then play for another 2 hours while watching TV, then watch any of the series i have on my hard-drive then play some more..
When I play, I just do quests in order from lowest to highest, "episode" missions first, then exploration, then defend/patrol missions.
I started playing in the headstart, and am now at level 41, two weeks later.
I'm not maxed out, but I haven't really put much effort into the game, just playing the missions as they come up.
Leveling in this game is VERY, VERY quick. I almost wish it wasn't.
I'd prefer to have spent 20 levels at each rank, doing 50% episodes, and 50% patrol/defend/explore.
3-4 hours a day and your only LC6? Your just a really slow leveler.
I made Admiral a couple of days ago but then I spend a lot more than 3-4 a day on it. I didn't rush or miss out any content, I did every missions and exploration/patrol I could find and I wouldn't consider myself a powergamer.
Commander(4) here and I play about an hour or two each work night, and several hours each of my days off. I would not want to be one of those who capped so fast. I am enjoying my steady ride towards Admiral, reading and enjoying the content, and taking some nifty screenshots in the process.
Have you played alot of PVP too?
i'm currently Cmdr 8 on my "main" and Lt Cmdr 14 on my other character (wasnt sure if i wanted to go borg or joined trill so gave both a good run)
i'm exploring mostly, taking my time and enjoying the stories in the missions, reading all the text (not just the bit to progress me but the back story parts too) and soaking up the trek atmosphere in game.
hoping to hit captain this weekend, so may be admiral next weekend, or the weekend after
Yesterday I spend over 2 hours just promoting, training and dressing my BOs.
Sometimes I go into a batteground and play there for an hour or two, and if it is not completed before I have to log...I lose out on xp reward and loot, but I do have fun.
In the end, I probably should be about COM 5 in the time that I spent. I think leveling is about right for the casual player (2-3 hours per day on average).
Once I max this one out I'm going to create a Klingon character to try out before more content arrives.
When do You do Your Homework then ??? Shame on You.
I'll play for 3-6 hour spurts...
...but not everyday. Sometimes my work permits me to leave early, other times I'll be on task late into the night.
And last night I discovered ME2 and spent the evening reading the in game codex and getting up to speed with the lore.
When I hit 45...
...I'll go back and try science.
...or fly around just for fun.
...or spend my time whining on the forums.
Actually, I spend much more time on the forum than in game, it's much more fun.
I play between 4 and 8 hours a day I estimate. I am capped, yes, but I always play the level through, because I really LOVE the storyline and conversations the NPC's give me. I play solidly, but all of it and do not click away text, run through levels, etc unless I've played the level before (in example, if making a second character).
