A friend recently convinced me to try this game and then kinda went MIA. I've been enjoying myself so far but I seem to be stuck for the past few days and no amount of Google is helping. I'm playing on the Federation side, and until now every time I finish a mission I've waited about 5 seconds and then someone hails me with my next one. However after getting promoted to Rear Admiral and hitting 40 I haven't gotten anything else to do. The last mission I did was called The New Link, and at the turn in for that the Commander on DS9 said she wanted to speak with me in person. However I paid her a visit both before I went to get promoted and after and she doesn't have anything for me. I'm not sure how to get moving forward at this point, and I don't know the game well enough to know if I'm missing something or if its bugged.

Many systems have patrol missions in them, I've been using these to get the extra skill points needed.
Btw this only affects the Feds, Rom and KDF can stay ahead of the level requirements up to lvl 50.
At lvl 40, I believe you can still participate in the Defera Invasion Zone and there are always the Patrol Missions (unless those were removed recently).
I believe the Defera missions are better, but it's been a while since I lvled a Fed unboosted.
Hard runs and the City missions.
This is the only place you can get Fractal Remodulators, you'll want those for the Borg Arc...and to help get your free Borg Sci BOff later.
You should be able to fill the lvling voids on Defera alone.

Hell, in addition to those good suggestions, you can even drop into Starfleet Academy and do the two daily missions from the Historian for easy-peasy XP and 480 dil per day (suggest you google 'STO lore' before guessing the answers to the mid-term exam though).

Ideally, before this last set of patch notes, you could have run the featured episode over and over to get a really nice set out of it. (if you did it once, you can replay it) which is nice because that gear upgraded for free up to MK XII. But if you haven't done it yet (sunrise and stormbound) they're moved to the future proof tab in the list of episodes, and you have to be level 60.
I would ONLY recommend doing a patrol to level if you're extremely close to hitting the next level.
There seems to be a gap every ten levels until you get to lvl 50. I did patrols, doffing, and Foundry to fill the gap. It didn't take long before I was back on track.
