So the Delta Recruit Event... is it worthwhile rolling a new alt? No real intention of changing my main... nor am I a farmer... thoughts?

Do you already have Fed, KDF and Romulan captains? If not, creating a Rom or KDF would let you experience some faction-only story episodes. The Romulan story is better than the Fed-only episodes.
There is nothing to "win" in STO, the only point is to have fun. If creating a new captain seems like it might be fun then do it. If not then don't.
As someone who has done all the recruit events... the account wide perks are pretty worthwhile. AND any future recruits can get a boost from the older recruits, or basic characters if you decide to start an alt of a different faction, in areas like Rep thanks to getting a ton of marks, so less desirable reps like Competitive can potentially be filled out without ever touching a Competitive Rep TFO.
While it fuels Altitis... its kind of a case of personal preference.
Yes, for the bonuses for the account. In total there are 3 Delta Recruits (2409 Fed, KDF & ROM), 1 Jem'Hadar, 1 KDF and 1 Temporal (TOS) Recruit. The combined rewards are great, especially if you do create more toons after, because it save farming a ton of Reputation Marks later! Create them, then go back to them when you want. There's no time limit to get the rewards once you have your Tesseract/Transponder/Receiver.
So yes, I would say that making at least one Delta is worth it, and if you have more than one idea for characters the full set is nice (though like everything else in the game it is not absolutely necessary if you don't like more alts).

Yes, they are. All of the rewards are the same. Delta rewards are delta rewards regardless of the faction. The only difference is the type of equipment that drops as you level. Feds get phasers, Kdf get disruptors, Roms get plasma and so forth. This is from the wiki:
"All equipment is Bound-to-Character and has a value of 0 EC. All assigned [Mod]s are static up to Purple Quality, and will be the same for every Delta Recruit. This equipment can be upgraded, but will remain bound and 0 value; it will gain random [Mod]s if the Quality increases."
My Fed Delta unlocked the same rewards for my KDF and ROM as he did for my other Feds. Read the Wiki if you're still unsure.
Slainte.

l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
That whole necrophilia thing was disgusting, too.
I don't know what the "new" mission lineup is for the Delta recruits this time (yet), but the ones from the first rerun of the Delta recruitment hardly had any missions from the Delta quadrant in their transponders at all. Mostly it seemed to be in the stuff leading up to it instead like the Devs were trying to coax people into getting through the early missions so they would be ready to start the Delta quadrant ones.
I can understand the "undead" dread thing. While it does not bother me, a few of the people in my old tabletop RP games felt the same way so whenever I ran a Vampire the Masquerade campaign for something different (usually I ran Champions) I always made sure to include ways that a mage or werewolf or two could fit in the group without it being too unlikely.
Hehehe, yea good and yet equally humorous as well.
My original Delta was a KDF Recruit, I checked and claimed the Rewards, yet for some reason New Romulus won't let some older Delta's claim it even though it is done. I redid Warehouse as that was the only one not apparently done, and some people I've heard have replayed all yet can't claim it.
Still I debated about perhaps doing another Fed and trying a slightly different Build for a Trill. Yet I finally caved, as it's always nice to try something new... (as others explained)
Have a good day, and weekend everybody! Stay healthy, and safe.
I can see there is at least one transponder task I will not bother doing this time around then, I detest jumping games even when I don't have to contend with little lag spikes throwing everything off. Between the bore-fest of the maze and the jumping BS Dust to Dust has to be the absolute worst designed mission in the game (though it is not too bad up until the maze, and the plot itself is interesting).
If I wanted to play Qbert (or Frogger) I would play the real one in local mode, not some idiotic online linear adaption in what is supposed to be Star Trek, but I don't even like those old 80s console games enough to bother installing it.
IF you don't have a delta GET ONE. The unlocks are well worth it for each character.
