so I've made a choice if I want to keep it or not and I've decieded to delete it as it is too much work to get all the repsystem done for my delta toon and it was even tougher to get it to level 60 as well plus everyone is focusing on there iconian repsystem. While I have been struggling to get the elite marks for him. So I've made my decesion to delete it and just focus on my older toons who have completed all the rep systems and have high level gear and stuff also managed to get the delta rewards for all of my older toons as well befor he got deleted
any way it was fun playing it for a while and the side story was cool.

I've gotten a couple of fleet weapons/consoles, rep minor consoles/weapons and upgraded them (thanks to my other toons) and he is nowhere near complete, but I have achieved what I have in a relatively short period of time and with (aside from the story grind) relatively little effort.
He is at "Mindscape" in the story and level 58.5, I see a good future for him and I am happy with my progress thus far given that my gametime has been somewhat limited of late.

Even if you want to delete your Delta Recruit, you should at least wait until after the recruitment event ends to take advantage of the dilithium/kill bonus. As Quark said, "Waste not; want not." :cool:

But you make a nice profit as Delta toon I must say...
"Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised. It's got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it."
to answer the point, i still have mine, reasonably well armed, not in a fleet excelsior or carrying the plasmonic, but otherwise, fairly ready for it. hes carry up the rep stuff as well, rep 2 on everything except the new iconian rep and delta rep which i have not completed on my main yet.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
The easist of all to get are the Omega and Romulan reps. Just do the Borg and Tholian red alerts. Delta rep, do the patrols or run the Kobali gorund. Im fact, you can earn decent Iconian rep marks AND the spheres by running the Kobali ground "Breaking the Wall".
So no, getting a Delta Toon through the rep system is easy as pie - as long as you can grant them a sponsorship.
Delta Fed is at level 54 and still stuck on New Romulus because the story is gated behind Romulan rep.
I will continuing to play her as a Constitution Captain, having completed all story content with the Connie starter ship. The goal is to max out the ship's capabilities.
Delta KDF i will keep as my main KDF, not that that means much. Currently level 43 or so.
Delta Rom is parked at level 10. only need her to complete the Delta Account unlocks eventually.
I have completed all 44 objectives with her, I have all reps going, (except Iconian rep) and she just hit level 56. I plan on keeping her, I am having a lot of fun running around Qonos with the Ugliest Orion Female screaming, "give me some sugar!!"

I will also get a Klink and Rom through the tutorial before the event ends so I can run them too at my own pace. The only requirement to keep them as Delta Recruits is they have to be through the tutorial and have the tesseract before the event ends.

All this time later and I still don't know why the payout for every contribution is so TRIBBLE-poor. Everything except Fleet marks, that is. Filling the Fleet marks is still like winning the lottery.
At least we're consistent. No balance anywhere.
My Fed Delta is quickly aspiring to be my Fed main. She's also fun and gaining a crew. She's also not going anywhere.
I started doing the STFs to collect random marks. No real plan, just playing and collecting for now. I would like to play Undine Infiltration Advanced, but like most other queues it is pretty much dead.
I will not delete this toon, but I do not know how far I want to take it as well. I may or may not have this toon participate in the upcoming 2015 Risa Summer Event depending what ship is available. So... yeah... up in the air...
personally I think you are making a BIG mistake, baring the new iconian rep and assuming you have done the reputation sponsorship thing you should have picked up enough marks to get most of your other reps up to at least part way through tier 4 after that you could have just waited for the summer event and did the bird raising thing to get the marks you need to finish up.
even without the new iconian rep that I can understand not bothering with that's 50k dilithium for each rep completed so for the 6 older reps it would have paid 300k dil total, once refined to be passed through the exchange to your main.
even if you never do anything else with your delta its got to be worth it to do that.
forget worrying over lv60 and forget elite marks just level up to tier 5 on the older reps and reap the rewards.
having said that by the time my delta had finished the story missions to complete the event rewards he was up to level 55, that was a week ago and hes now up to level 58 just from doing daily doff missions so its not going to be hard to level to 60 and hes still earning dil and ec to pass to my main.
I doubt I will do much with him now other then farm doff missions for my main though.
my guess is by the winter events they will add iconian rep to raising winter epohh so I will probably get that with him as well then, another 50k dil ka-ching.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
I will definitely be keeping her, as I am looking forward to the summer event. I just resubscribed my gold sub, and I am not too thrilled with the look of some of these new Command ships. Oh well, here's hoping the Risa event will give us something to look forward to.:o
Delta toon hard to get to level 60?
No, thanks to bonus SP week I arrived the last Breen episode as lvl 54. I played a dozen SB24 for ship mastery unlocks and never hit level wall during the running of the remaining episodes and patrols. Was easy peasy.
To much work for reputs?
Lol nope, on the contrary! Thanks to the recruitment reward bonus (250 marks of each kind) as well as multiple choice marks there were only a few normal pve or so to run to get 600 marks of each kind for the reputs to start with sponsorship tokens. I grabbed my 32k dil times 5 rewards for tier 5 reps yesterday.
If you deleted your Delta Recruit, your choice. Could be that if Cryptic keepson making more of these events I end up with too many toons so Id delete as well. But under consideration of the conditions and the free gear handed out during episodes (which is more than enough for normal pve) I will delete recruits after reputs and not b4.

I might keep one or two more if I like the characters, but really this late in the game it's not really worth putting a heap of work into them. Now if I could merge an existing character with a delta I would jump at it. Would mean all my work wasn't wasted on older characters. Plus would give me the chance to turn my first character into a science finally....
The Delta Recruit program was a decent deal. The extra giveaways made leveling them quite easy - most were 54 before the Defera episodes.
What stood out for me was the twinking. And I hate that word. I retried everything. Cannons, beam boats, torpedo boats. Energy flavours of all types. And had a lot of fun doing it. For me - with 11 alts - crafting gear is worth all the pain. If I were a new player, crafting would suck.
Crafting for new players is a waste of time. And if you're casual (2x a week) - 2 years to get what you want seems a little long term. I've had marriages that lasted less.
Like the OP I don't see the need for all of the rep systems. My new alts have a plan, and a goal for gear. I'll only develop what I need. No need to build everything. Again. For the 9th, 10th and 11th time. Plus the incremental DPS increases, and survivability - theres no point to getting 5 reputations when they don't add squat to the enjoyment of the game.
As for enjoyment of the game. I have one thing to say:
LAG
Ah, a voice of reason!
I have no idea what the OP is talking about when he mentions it being hard to get to 60. Even without the XP week, a new character starting at level 1 has absolutely no problem getting to 60 just through story missions alone. Everyone remembers it being difficult because when DR dropped everyone was already level 50 and started the Delta Arc at level 50. Heck, with the Skill Point week, I was level 60 by the time I was halfway through the Cardassian story Arc. My DR has been 60 for quite some time.
Add to that the bonus Dilithium, the extra mark rewards and being sponsored in Reputation Projects by my Main and he's skyrocketed up. The only thing that's still going to take a long time is the DoFF schools because that just takes forever. Still, we even get a bonus week for DoFF XP so it's not nearly as bad as normal.
Personally, I'm keeping my DR. I had a non DR Engineer that I hardly ever play, I deleted her and gave all her stuff to my DR. It gives me something to do when not playing my main guy. Yes, it's still a climb, but it's a lot more manageable for a Delta Recruit then it would be for a totally new character made after the Recruiting event.
However, I have to admit that while I originally intended to delete the alt on completion, I can't help but wonder if Cryptic will do something with Delta Recruits in the future. Call me paranoid but since I've got nothing else to do with the slot, might as well keep them around as a contraband farmer.
My rom/tac have done all reps but iconian (is doing it but it will take some time to finish it). 15 spec. points in pilot and
2 points in intel (going to fill intel).
And liking it, too.
