    Infected is a great way to level up.​​

    Argala
    I voted Argala, however I'd actually recommend juggling argala -> infected space -> whatever else to minimize downtime.

    Does anyone else find themselves hopping into old ships t5-u ships to max them out, just for the hell of it? :D

    Since it's going away anyway. Arawath.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.

    Always seems like the Tholian Red Alert is the best return, but the 30 minute cooldown is a handicap.

    The Tau Dewa area patrols (x5) + Tholian Red Alert + ISA (Repeat over and over). Throw in Dyson Sphere Space BZ special doff assignments for an extra 40k XP after 5 hours each day. Frankly easy to get upwards of 60k XP off doffing with this bonus.

    Patrol Missions are the BEST, no question about it. Just fly around Sector Space, any such Space will do. After a bit of that, you will begin to compile a list of star systems that have the kind of space combat you like best. For example, about five star systems that form a sort of halo around the Romulan Flotilla have each system populated by different foes like the Gorn or RSE.

    Find the ones you like. Buy skill level up boosters and open them on bonus weekends...just like this weekend is planned by Cryptic for us to grind out spec points and/or level up yer Delta Recruits.

    We have the tools given to us by Cryptic to accomplish our goals. We just need to know how to use them, when to use them, and how we can benefit our friends and/or other team-mates.

    That's why the devs invented Borg Red Alerts and SB24​​
    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.

    Argala
    I clicked Argala but actually, when I grind XP post-60, I do a circuit of about five or six Delta patrols, and not just Argala. (Sometimes I do Tau Dewa patrols as well just to mix things up.)

    Patrols in and around the New Romulus area but there also good outside of the bonus weekends.

    Edit : Of course everything we list here will probably get the nerf hammer swung at it again. Mark my words.
    Oh, it's not broken? We can soon fix that!

    Yup, sorry, no input from me as to my prime grinding locations as this is just like holding up a sign saying 'nerf me!' so I'll go with 'the big dig!' too

    (Btw devs, if you are reading this and others like it, maybe you should think -why- we have such a reaction and of ways to remedy it)​​

    Some of the comments in here about nerfs are just funny. They specifically made Borg Red Alerts an XP Boost Zone and added it to the Tholian Red Alerts as part of the Space Sector revamp. They don't need us to tell them what we are doing the metrics tell them. Other complainers whine that the Devs never show up and read the Boards anyway. So strap on the foil hats.

    Tholian is better than the Borg Red Alerts as there is plenty to shoot there and you are usually part of it. Borg used to be good and still can be if you don't have a Simitar running off on its own blowing up two of the four groups solo; you don't get any XP from that. Hope that you clear the Red Alert slows quickly so you can rush the next target group before it is burned down before you get there.

    The Red Alerts can use some forced grouping like the Queues to alleviate some of this.

    Yeah, I may have spoken too quickly about the Tholian Red Alerts. The big ships are getting 'blowed up real good real fast' now as well. Under five minutes for the last one I was in, and Borg Red Alert going down in less time. You still get the other rewards but the XP for ship kills is starting to dry up.

    The Red Alerts, especially the Tholian one is the fastest way to gain XP. And for the past week or so, they have been popping up nearly every time I go to sector space.
    I completed a 2-man CSE, ISE, and KASE, Optionals included. And I soloed Winter Invasion.
