Before all: I'm a life time member.
When I left, I had access to all ships, now I need to purchase them, apparently, but as a LTM, is this normal?
Otherwise, I think a lot has changed since the Delta Warrior time, what are the most important changes?
Thank you aforehand.

No one has access to all ships, just the freebies that you earn from leveling up or buying from the lobi/exchange/c-store or dilithium store.
And, from what I remember, afore, i had none to purchase...
Hence my question.
EDIT: Ah, wait, I somewhat misinterpreted your post: so we did not had access to all ships?
Odd, I just "took"a Dyson without any payment or whatever back then?
I cannot believe that was just a glitch...?

Cryptic would have gone out of business long ago if that had been the case.
Thank you, people.
What about part two of the question?
They just get less sober.

Been so frikken long...
But as to part two of the question, what are the most important changes since Delta?

There is also the Admiralty System that was introduced this year.

Since Delta Rising (DR) was released there has been numerous tweaks to balance the game. When DR was initially release a lot of things it introduced pretty much made the game very difficult and also unbearable for may players. I suppose that was one of the down side of increasing the level cap from 50 to 60.
A significant quality of life change has to do with Event Ships (Anniversary, Risa Summer, Winter Wonderland). Prior to the 2015 Risa Summer Event, if you wanted to obtain the Event Ship for each of your captains, then all of your captains must participate in the event to get the required vouchers to claim the Event Ship.
As of the 2015 Risa Summer Event only one captain needs to do the event for the Event Ship. Once any of your captains claim the Event Ship it becomes available account wide for all your captains to claim. This applies to Event Ships obtained from previous events. For example, I started playing STO right before the 2014 Anniversary Event. At that point I only had a Fed captain and a KDF captain. My Fed captain was able to do the daily event mission to acquire the 1,000 vouchers necessary to claim the Dyson Science Destroyer. However, I created the KDF captain too late into the 2014 Anniversary Event to be able to obtain the required 1,000 vouchers to claim the Dyson Science Destroyer. Therefore, only my Fed captain had that ship.
When Cryptic changed the Event Ship policy to account wide back in the summer of 2015, all 9 of my captains were able to claim the Dyson Science Destroyer.
The Dyson, a nice ship, but... it started out with a TON of issues (BOff troubles), hope they got that fixed.
The Solanae Dyson Science Destroyer is a nice looking vessel, alright!
What immediately caught my eye was the missing of my Delta Rising Badge on ALL characters!!!
Infuriating, since this was a permanent Badge that would set us apart from other people.
Personally, i loved this event, I deleted ALL characters, to make them Delta's.
And then this is nowhere to be found anymore...
Saddening.
What precisely made thing "unbearable" for other players?

Well, it does still show up on the character selecton screen at least. But sometimes you have to click on each character to make the symbol show up. Both for Deltas and Temporals. But I know thats not quite the same as it showing up in-game.
I remember fleets of people with the triangle in front of their name in space (and planets).

Thats what I meant, it used to show up in-game but now it only shows up on the character selection screen; which imho is too bad because I always liked them.
Being critical doesn't take skill. Being constructively critical- which is providing alternative solutions or suggestions to a demonstrated problem, however, does.
As for things that DR caused the game to be unbearable a couple of them were...
- End game STFs (reputation missions) were insanely difficult
- For level 50 captains that already completed story missions leading up to DR, there were not enough story missions to advance to level 60 so they must replay story missions or do whatever else to gain enough XP to do the next mission. For example, let's say the 5th mission the DR campaign requires you to be at least level 55 to play, but the next mission (#6) may require you to be level 57 before you can start it.
I'm sure there were many others, but I do not recall. Plus after the 2015 Summer Event, I took a break until the 2015 Winter Wonderland event.
One thing I missed during my time away from STO was a charity event. Chase Masterson (who plays Leeta) runs a anti-bully organization and there was a charity event to raise awareness of bullying both online and IRL (in real life). STO players who donated something like $20 to the charity event received a Mirror Universe Guardian Cruiser with a slightly different Boff seating compared to the C-Store version and of course a Mirror Universe paint scheme.
nope, that icon went away last year sometime, long before aoy. I remember because it annoyed me too. I think the others are right, it was just part of the event for some reason.
It was said to be a permanent icon, and thus, I want them to keep their word.
