dunno
Anyways... STO is still a F2P game. You can pick it up again anytime. Also... we do have the new Feature Episode with Levar Burton live on the server, and the upcoming TNG Anniversary.
That is one part of my problem, the second part is, am i motivated enough to go out there and level up a new character with those same dull episode arcs that i have been through dozens of times over in the past and still be around long enough to get the starcruiser from the shipyard after buying it and arming it up accordingly?
I do understand your problem OP, you are wondering if there is still a point going through that repetition once again, but unfortunately none of us can answer if you should consider biting your tongue and going through it. What is it you want to do, what you honestly want to do?
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
It.
Is.
Worth it

Just stop playing until you feel the urge to play again. If you never do, then you had a good run.
I have stopped playing STO several times over the last several years, burnout is normal. You're just not ready to come back yet.
Until you get one of those urges that feel so strong that you come back, after a few missions you lost interest again, like a nostalgia overload.

I saved all my dill up for the dill boxes. there was no sign of them. soo I bought a lot of fleet stuff.
the next day the dill boxes came out.. I lost soo many potential upgrade books.
so I stopped playing after that.. oops
STO has a habit of becoming a monotonous grind fest, even if you are willing to make a bazillion characters and play the same missions over and over and over again. So with the new content drying up pretty fast these days it's no wonder people get burned out and bored with it.
If you are F2P maybe just take a break for a month or so, or maybe only log in for a min a day to refine daily dilithium to keep things ticking over.
Or if you are subbed or lifer then just walk off and let the monthly dilithium build up.

Simple: burnout.
There's a psychological cost to playing one thing intensively for any significant length of time. You're feeling it. Take a break, that's all you need to do. It's not a fault of you or the game, it's just a sign that you need to take a step back for a little while.
Notable missions: Apex [AEI], Gemini [SSF], Trident [AEI], Evolution's Smile [SSF], Transcendence
Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
When the time/cash used up feels like a job as opposed to fun and enjoyable, it's definitely time to leave it be.
Play something else, or better yet give up gaming in favor of some other hobby.
If you start to miss some aspects of the game (like I have been lately), no reason you can't pop back in here and there, check it out again, and shut it down as soon as you feel like it. That's what I'm doing lately - with my finger on alt-F4 as soon as something or other about this broken mess pisses me off again.
There are times in between knowing what it is you are getting into that suddenly you find this ability to grind out of nowhere but it eventually stops even if you want to get back into it you can't.

That's all part of the ebb and flow (ugh) of online gaming.
You'll either miss the game and come back, or realise one day in 2 years that you haven't thought of the game for months.
DO NOT come back because you have, like, 500 pounds worth of stuff. That's just stupid, because they're things to play WITH. If you don't want to play, they won't hold your interest, and will actually taint your play experience.
Or maybe I'm just projecting. Whatever.
And, like some said, take a break....play other games.....OR something else, grab a few books to read, for example. Put together some models, that sorta thing.
The Foundry, for instance.
