Can't enter patrol missions.

It seems that any patrol mission I've completed once before become.. Dead.

I can't replay them. I heard rumors that you can only play the patrol missions ONCE per character. Is that some kind of joke?

What kind of stupid system is this, some of the patrol missions are really fun! Where you simply go around and scan plants and stuff instead of the basic destroy 400 enemy ships.

Why can't I replay any of the patrol missions in the Beta and Alpha sector blocks? Just the lame Delta patrol missions where all you do is destroy 300 enemies.

Is there anyway to replay the original patrol missions?

It won't give me the option to enter the system, only to play foundry missions there.

Help! :(

    You can only play the patrol missions in the Alpha / Beta Quadrants once per character (except those that give romulan reputation marks as a reward, which can be repeated after a 30-min cooldown) . This is not a rumor. The only way to replay them is to start a new character.

    Why..... lol. Why was this implemented? To avoid grinding? Why not just reduce / remove the rewards and allow replaying the patrol missions as they are fun and short. Perfect if you don't got a lot of time to play. :(

    This. Plus, it gives us something to do when end-game stuff gets boring, and boy does it ever get boring.

    There's a 30 minute timer on Patrols before you can do them again (to help limit mastery patrol spams like when Delta Rising first came out). I run Japori patrols several times a day. They don't go away.

    30 min per system or like if you've done one you can't do another for 30 min? Last night I did one but when I tried other systems or going back nothing was available:(

    The 30 min cooldown in the Beta quadrant is only for the system patrols that reward Romulan rep marks (basically the sectors close to New Romulus). All other system patrols in the Beta Quadrant and all the Alpha quadrant patrols don't have a cooldown : you can only play the patrol mission once per character.

    The 30min CD was introduced, simply because a portion of the player base (myself included) used the patrols such as Argala (Delta Quad) as well as those in the Alpha and Beta quadrants to level as fast as we could.​​
    Oh, it's not broken? We can soon fix that!

    Heaven forbid the game not feel like a grind, right?
