if you are wanting to create a new character you will have to make a regular not a delta.
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.
We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!
mirror.... well there goes my fed delta!
because if you made one you can still play it to get all the rewards.

Mirror Recruit, will our characters have to have an evil goatee?
I don't buy the 'no excuses' comments others may make. I put a lot of time and money into figuring out why I couldn't access the game that I have a lifetime subscription to, but could not get it fixed fast enough to participate. If the event only happens once in a lifetime, it is a serious letdown when your gameclient hates your OS.
As a paying customer of a F2P game, I wonder if it is a good business strategy for a company to base access to the more interesting events on luck. That is what it boils down to in my case. I would hope that when the next cool feature like Delta Recruits is put into effect, they will not use 'time' as the limiting factor. You can't buy lost time back, no matter how good your subscription is. Should I recommend a subscription to others?
I think they should repeat the event.
the thing is once your delta character has reached lv50 and collected all of the rewards (most of which weren't much use after that point anyway) they just become the same as any other character you have so you really did not miss out on much.
but like the OP said they will probably have Gama Recruits, or Mirror Recruits or some variation sometime in the future, on the other hand as the delta recruit event forced cryptic to give every player a free character slot they may not.

Can I haz ur stuffs?
7 weeks to start playing a DR character with no time limit at all to finish was long enough.
Lord yes!
We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!
There are some like me who left DR in disgust and didn't even know there was a delta recruit event.
Not that I care about any rewards I missed out on.
What exactly did the Delta Recruitment do in terms of the games' storyline? All that "talk to yourself in the past" did exactly nothing to help the Alliance, didn't it? All that your DR did was never mentioned during the "desperate grimdark blah blah".

Also ominous foreshadowing that the Iconian war would become desperate enough to risk temporal paradoxes.
My character Tsin'xing
Yeah, the "payoff" of that was wholly inadequate. Unless that is the type of temporal manipulation you're about to turn to in the next few episodes, then it was pointless.

In either case it remains dubious. I mean the DR-arc is concluded - we played fromt he moment we met ourselves from the future to the point we meet ourselves in the past - the circle was complete, it makes no sense that we would come back to it. And we seeded iformation so everyone and their dog would be "prepared" for the Iconians - if we believe the out-of-game lore and the dialogue texts, nobody was however. So... we did exactly nothing?

If you are away from the game for more than 2 months at a time then of course you are going to miss some things, including events and giveaways.
The OP's "it it never last long" is still silly for a 7 week window to start a recruit.
Maybe the data was forwarded to Janeway?
My character Tsin'xing
Yeah, I play the Old Republic too and I have no idea what you are talking about. We've never had a Delta Recruit-like event in that game so what are you comparing it too? With your spelling it is hard to tell what you are trying to say, but if you think DR was simmilar to SWTOR's current 12x story xp then I'm afraid your mistaken. DR did give rewards at various levels, but the event was mostly a quasi prologue to the Iconian War for newer players (or new toons). There wasn't an XP boost except for one special week; and any toon could get bonus xp for that not just DRs. On the other hand I have been enjoying skipping all of SWTOR's side quests and just replaying class missions, but there isn't any new story elements for low level toons to find a la the Iconian Artifacts or Tech to find in old instances during DR. I'm not saying anything bad about either event and both were/are fun, but they really aren't comparable. SWTOR's is about power leveling new alts before the expansion (Last year SOR and this year Kotfe) while Delta Recruits was about providing backstory to the war as well as time travel themed rewards. (Since the Iconian Arc had a lot of temporal elements.)
Finally, and once again I say this as someone who loves SWTOR as much as STO, (I'm a LTS of STO and over at SWTOR I have a level 50 legacy, aka Living Legend, and a level 60 toon of each class plus a few extras thanks to 12x xp), but SWTOR could learn more from STO about events than the other way around. SWTOR might have better writing at times, but if there is one thing STO knows how to do, its events. Despite the seemingly requiste week 1 bugs (I'm looking at you Omega Particle Collection
a sponsorship token for latecomers would be a total waste of time and counterproductive to getting players into the game while the event was running, "I cant be bothered making a delta now I don't have the time, I might do it in 6 months under the sponsorship of a player that could be bothered."
if potential new players cant be bothered to play unless they can have a delta character then they cant want to play the game as is very much.
if existing customers have decided they should have rolled a delta character, well shame, you had your chance.

which would be hard to do with the whole Undine Battle zone thing.
Seeing as their ship exploded they're probably dead.
My character Tsin'xing
After all, there are various PvE queues where we still fight Klingons/Feds. Plus, you can always pretend the Undine we keep fighting are just Undine-supremacist a-holes.
Granted, that could allow a nice follow-up to the story where some Undine try to open negotiations again after agreeing they were deceived and that we made the Iconians leave with the power of words. "Together, we're strong", after all.
Some more official diplomacy-related missions wouldn't hurt:
-make sure peace is made between the Alliance and the Undine
-make sure peace is made between the Cooperative and the Octanti
-make sure both the Dominion and the Republic will be cooperative about Sela's fate (no transporter "accident" will be tolerated)
-make sure the Krenim don't try to make things worse with their timeship
-make sure Keten is adapting well to his Kobali life and that he's still given a choice.
makes me wonder why you came back to sto in the first place maybe its cos you realised despite all its cool features the games actually crud.
so basically you took time off from sto to play star wars and now you realise what fun we have been having on sto you want some, shame.
that's completely in keeping with star trek lore even when there was peace with Klingons there were often rogue forces that would attack feds plus look at the Romulans in the game, half of them the Romulan Republic are our allies and the other half the tal shiar are our enemy's and even with the Romulan Republic themselves.
