Thank you all for your input. What is the timeline of the Anniversary Event?
Also, I don't recall what Patrols are. Could you please refresh my recollection?
The anniversary is sometime early next year. Usually end of Jan, beginning of Feb, but this is the big 10, and they shortened the winter event this year, so it may run longer this year. We just don't know yet, as far as I know. I suspect we will get the third event in the 3-event run for the T6 coupon in early Jan and the Anniversary will be after that.
Patrols are the short kind of missions, fly in, blow up 5 groups of ships, and you're done, typically. They are better done these days than the original exploration cluster flavor, but there is virtually no random element.
I reinstalled STO. One thing I noticed immediately is that the graphics seem very washed-out compared to what I remember. Is my memory failing me or was there a graphics change in the last couple of years?
I returned after a while away. There's probably lots of story content you haven't seen yet that will be reasonably fun to play (since you said you like Star Trek) but it still has the same problems of any generic MMO - monetization and repetitive end game.

Well said!
