Have a toon that has just done borg and nukara rep and is out of XP but has a shopping list of rep gear that needs tons of xp for the slider, so whats the most efficient way to get XP?

There may also be other missions that will help. Good luck, because now we need to also grind exp. at level 50. Lol.
Get in your starship and do a slingshot around the sun, target date, about 4 days ago. Then while back in time, do the extra XP event that was just offered.....
My advice is to take a mulch-pronged approach.
1) set up the maximum number of duty officer missions and keep those running as close to 24-7 as possible. Should net a minimum of 10k per day and as much as 30k depending on crits and your ability to log in a lot over the day to keep them running.
2) Do at least one good foundry per day.
3) Farm daily missions that give good XP for the time spent. Just look at your dailys and consider how fast you can get there, do it, and what you get for the time spent, and make good choices.
4) Do old missions that give much xp for little time spent, again, choose these wisely. If you skipped ANY old missions, do them, first time gives much XP.
5) Farm marks, for example romulan daily patrol mission with space combat. The kills do add up fast.
- The Devidian missions. Actually all of them, but "Spin the Wheel" is the shortest.
- "Second Wave", "Operation Gamma" and "Facility 4028" of The 2800 story arc
- "State of Q" (use a Bath'leth and you'll be done in 5-10 minutes)
- "The Return" (same as above)
- Maybe even some of the early missions like Azura Blues/The Helix/Test of Mettle (depending on your faction).
These missions are quick and give around 4-5k xp. That is a very efficient way of acquiring them.
Otherwise, wait until tomorrow. Mirror Universe return. You must remember that one, seeing you joined the forums in 2012. It's gonna be tougher than before, but it will reward a pretty decent amount of xp.
Join the Deltas today!
I would guess the best way is to replay the main story line missions. Since you level up after each mission you, the means you get stupid amounts of XPs.
replay XP is less than first time. Its like 10 or 15%. Some are worth doing (fast, get 2-3k in a few min) and others can take half an hour for about the same...
Oh....
Oh well, XP was never something I focused on anyway 'cause it is too damn easy to max out your level. I guess XP still serves a purpose then after getting to level 50...
They should have left the hourly events running, and just done bonus weekends with double the normal reward, One reward weekend a month for each reward, is hardly seems like enough to make up for the loss of the hourly events on a daily basis.
By and large OP, unless you're prepared to drop to a comatose level of gameplay by Doffing, there aren't any.
Most of the info above is good. DOFFing is realiable stream of XP if you keep at it. Short mission replays are good, since they can have a high EXP-per-minute ratio. Any map that has a lot of combatants will give a lot of small rewards that add up quickly, so things like Fleet Defense actions can give you 3-5k pretty quickly, and Starbase 24 can give a chunk but only for Fed. Another thing for Fed is to just fly around looking for Patrol System missions, they give 5k EXP each, most of them are really simple like "kill 5 targets" or "scan 5 plants" that kind of thing. Fed and KDF can both do the sector patrol missions too, fly into nebula, explore uncharted system, ring 5 bells and done. Defera invasion ground zone gives a lot, about 13k EXP if you do all four hards, I imagine Nukara is the same but nobody goes there anymore. The Defera dailies also give a lot, about 13k for all of them. That's enough to feed a grind, and can get a lot of FMs and Dil in the process.
None of them compare with old Mirror, where you could grind out 100-200k EXP in an hour if you needed.
Also have 60% of the rom system to do and a second new character that just hit 50.
Perhaps I'll start a log to track how much EXPs I am getting every time I play it.
PWE want you, the level 50 player, continuing to open your wallet ... IF XP was easy to get, you won't ...
So they make XP harder to get so you have to log in regularly (keeps the number of players high as well) to do DoFF missions, but DoFF missions can chew through Dil and EC very quickly as well if your not watching. So you spend money on Zen --> Dil.
They also want you buying XP Boosters fro the C-Store.
XP hard to get?? seriously, some of you really need to re-think how you playing the game.. xp in STO is the most easy thing to get if you do 3 or 4 different things in a day. And doff assignments help a lot when you are leveling up, but after level 50 doff assignments are not really a source of xp. If you want xp, just do exploration missions regularly, and different things. If you get stuck on 1 place every day, of course xp is hard to get, what the hell u expect? lol. This is not a hash and slash game where enemies keep spawning all the time in the same place and you keep gaining xp no matter wat lol.
Other people have a life, not everyone can play 24/7 like you. Lol, wat?

Count yourself lucky some people can't play 2 hours a day let alone 3 or 4.

The few DO assignments that cost EC give items in return --- most are trade missions that give you a space turret or commodities or the like. Most do not use EC at all, just the ones where you send your lackey out to buy something, go figure. I am not aware of any day to day assignment that use dil unless it is a special assignment; the majority of them GIVE dil to the player (in terribly low amounts of 5 and 10 at a time for the most part).
On top of that even the ones that charge EC, I think its 10k or something, which for a 50 is covered by one piece of space trash -- even a white quality ship shield will give you over 10k each.
I don't mind folks saying the game is for profit, even greedy at times. But at least be truthful about it. The DO missions do not cost you anything --- at the worst you exchange one type of item for another, and at best you actually *gain* ec and dil in tiny amounts. It does help to read the assignment description, though after about a week you probably realize that buying space turrets nonstop is not the best assignment to do over and over, and that "extreme" casualty assignments are not a good idea for your awesome purple guy.
64000 expertise for a item is NOTHING. You can gather in 2 hours that ammount of xp every day. But yes, if you want to gather 500k expertise to have all the items at once, LOL, yea, thats hard to achieve. But its because is impossible. Some of you just want impossible things, no matter what game u playing..
If your doff missions are eating up your dil and EC, then you're doing something very wrong. If anything, doff missions generate dil and EC, especially for the KDF. And they generate huge amounts of EXP if you're diligent about daily doffing. I have several toons with 2mil+ EXP, gained just from doffing. No need for xp boosters or anything else from the c-store.
Well, its not a big deal, but seriously... there are more productive ways to spent your zen.. xD.
probably not. If you have not noticed, 99% of giveaway items are things no one wants to pay for. A pet slime or monkey. Low tier sample ships. DO packs. Xp boosters. ....
Xp boosts are one of the consolation prizes in boxes.... for a reason...
Doing a short, combat-heavy foundry mission once a day will also get you a reasonable bit of xp/min for a new-to-50 toon.
Daily Lore question
Foundry farm also giving 500K ec
Mirror event going over 1000 a minute
20-25K a day is more than enough to get through the rep
