While on the subject of places i rarely visit, i'll go on a rampage on new romulus tomorrow.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
I'm helping a fleet member level, so the entire 2800 series and beyond.
I'm doing a lot of Dyson Ground and Kobali Prime.
A lot of Fleet Alert.

"What a time it was, with all the world against us, what a time it was... When all we did seemed wrong,
we've broken all our bonds, but life kept going on, what a time, what a time it was..." - Clem Tholet
For me its mostly:
Crystalline Adv,
ISA Adv,
Vortex Adv,
Storyline (until today, finished on three toons now and almost dead),
SFA/KFA,
Voth Battlezone for Dilithium,
Undine Battlezone for loot/ Dilithium,
Borg Disconnected (Normal)
and occasionally friendly/testing infleet PVP.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
Well, I do process stuff for the two starbases I'm leveling (one Fed and one KDF). Not much past that since getting one toon thru the DQ "stuff" was enough to put me off ever going there again.
Hrmm, though I can't remember the last time I did a full DOFF run. Which also means I can't remember the last time I bothered with the R&D Research. And I think I've run 4-5 Argala in the past week. But hey, my post count's over 14k.
Doffing on two captains, go go dead space between actual missions and two minutes of nothing, and clicking the 20 hour research projects on said captains on the long shot it might not be so bad some time in the future.
I'll be grinding out the Breen ships so I can actually have T6 ships. About four days in I'll be loathing said grind.
Oh, one more day of clicking on Delta rep to hit T5 and having all of one battery so I'm spared the effort of caring about the gear.
This is my Risian Corvette. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
PVE's (just about everything that I can reliably get into), battlezones (Voth+Kobali), occasional episode replays (including the DQ patrols.) Its basically the same playstyle as I had prior to this expansion.

Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
During the DR Reputation grind: Borg Disconnected, Bug Hunt Elite, & Doffing.
Now, after the reputation grind: Azure Nebula Advanced, VCE (less so), occasional CSAs & Fleet Alerts, and a Starbase Defense every now and then.
I'll generally log in, try ANRA, look around for VCE teams, check on my R&D status and then log out.
Because of glitchy missions and high failure rates in Argonite gas award missions I am playing much less.
I'm listening to the Priority One 200th episode.
To Mr. Rivera in response to the claim that captains can upgrade one weapon per day or more than one per day.
Feedback: Not so sir. I am a torpedo boat Captain (As in I run all torpedos on my science ships), who cannot upgrade one or two of his weapons daily because Argonite gas (needed to make Superior Experimental upgrade units) missions like Undine Assault are time-limited DPS objectives (and the objectives are perhaps bugged), bugged (as two Viscous optionals are), random optional spawns that generally generate failure (Azure Nebula Scimitar spawns for the 3 min threshold), or missions (Vault Event and Atmospheric Assault) that rarely queue up.

- Anne Bredon
I'd tell you but some "metric" hunting fool would just nerf it
My alts run CCA 2x daily during the morning R&D and evening doffing cycles. 5 toons at or near 60 from doffing and Mirror Incursion. No DR for them....
My prime toon - the only one with enough upgrades to be effective...

--> we run the first 4 for a solid income and the last 3 for fun or to reward ourselves for the work in full knowledge they reward poorly game side. Very sorry to see that cryptic does not seem to want a combination but the fact that they fail to make maps of a quality of the old borg stf for the past 3 years speaks for itself. Id be embarrassed myself probably but dont know if I would resort to such an angry child reaction.
Alone I prefer:
- Rhi Station via Toonhops: Works nicely and any fails in pugs become irrelevant if u have 8 lvl 60 chars. With a bit of intuition where the pugs are headed I do have a slid contribution there and managed to save 2-3 hostages by myself on a regular basis. This mission is the only one I see as fitting for the new reward risk/ratio. If things work out I end up very rewarded in a very short period of time. I expect Cryptic to kill that fun soon.
- Crystalline Advanced. Acceptable Risk/Reward ratio but after all those events boring.
- Argala patrol. Another thing to do addressing the topic why is this map promoted despite of any fun? Cryptic logic.
--> most of the time Im alone I do toon stuff though meaning doffing and baking. Since I cut my payment to cryptic to the ground for the DR release this becomes a bit more of a relevance but guarantees a high in game standing, meaning I can get what I want without spending.
To sum up I make the best out of DR and so are my in game friends and fleeties, at least those who are left.

About the same as I have been since Level (50), reached in May of 2014...
Random Patrols.
Random PVE/STF.
Random Episode Replays.
Random Foundry Missions.
Random Battle/Adventure Zones.
Random Red Alerts/Enemy intercepts.
Random, random, random. Name of the game for me, (I've put together a Die roll matrix which
determines where and what) never really know what I'll be doing when I log in.
Also the obligatory Doff/R&D/Rep/Mining as needed. Never bored.
On some days only doffing (dilithium rewards), because lack of time or not motivated for playing/grinding.
With my main char i play
Fleet alert
Colony invasion
Cristaline
Foundry (authoring)
Doffing
for dilithium, EC and fleet marks, because we are finishing the fleet mine and upgrading our starbase to T4.
Sometimes i want to run other old queues for variation like the old Nukara hard missions or stares incursion, but there are not enough players for this missions, so there are not running.
On my alts usually only doffing and start reputation projects if i have enough marks for them.
R&D for the lvl 15 traits on all characters,
Delta Rep for 4 out of 8 of my characters,
Run a single Argala if needed for Rep Marks,
then go play Elite Dangerous for about 5-6 hours
Chris Robert's on SC:
"You don't have to do something again and again and again repetitive that doesn't have much challange, that's just a general good gameplay thing."
These days.. primarily Patrols, Red Alerts, and occasionally Dyson Battlezones.
Mostly, I just hop on to update doffs/R&D assignments, hand-in rep projects(the hourly hand-ins usually net me 1-2k dilithium to put towards a gear upgrade each day), and round up some marks if one of my characters is running low. It's not so much 'playing', as it is 'maintenance' right now(the variety of builds I run do keep it relatively fresh though).
I login and queue up daily crafting projects. Nothing else really seems to have a worthwhile effort to reward ratio. There were things I used to enjoy but seeing an XP bar barely move takes the fun out of them.
Otherwise, seasonal events like Mirror Invasion, new reps, and I try to play every new story mission at least twice.
Come to think of it, it's been a while since i did a shuttle only run on the storyline missions.
Perhaps i'll do a Shuttle or Oberth run.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
Ran my alts through the borg battle debris patrol for the the daily marks box to accumulate the marks needed to complete the rep.
Doffing
Did a few advanced CE runs.
Thats about it, I might check out the gorn minefield one of these nights if there is an active queue for it (I think this mission is back). Maybe return to a ground zone, but I am just not all that motivated ATM.
I am not even going to consider leveling up my alts, level 52 is high enough for them.

Fed - Delta quadrant missions. currently doing one of the patrol missions in the story.
KDF - Getting ready to do the Dyson sun mission with Tuvok.
Romulan - Grinding Dil in the foundry for Romulan weapons to finish gearing up the ship. So it will be full on Romulan weaponry.
Each one of these do Doff to get material, exp, and Dil. My Fed is the Crafter so he is level 12 on few schools already.
With the winter wonderland event coming. I plan on sending one of my characters there. So they can get some winter jackets. I want a couple.
