Indy
I plan to try each of these and see how the feel with enjoyment, speed, and completion. Let’s all come back here after release and discuss our thoughts on the new content!
August 22nd, 8am PT to September 12th, 10am PT
Event Details
- Celebrate the flagships of Star Trek Online.
- Complete four space-based Task Force Operations (TFOS): Borg: Disconnected, Iuppiter Irratus, Swarm, Synth Wave.
- Earn progress towards the Khitomer Defender Space Set and the Event Campaign Grand Prize.

- Event Campaign Grand Prize: Tier 6 Infinity Promotional Ship of your choice, Two Free T6 Zen Store Coupons, and 1500 Lobi.

Depending on the play/engagement of the new patrols, I’d recommend ReSB1 on solo private queue for its AFK potential. However, if the new content is fun to play OR can be fast/rewarding (like the Red Alerts), then I’ll do those instead.
I’ll give it a shot and see how it goes.
I wouldn’t consider myself a DPS chaser either, since I haven’t even parsed my ship builds in at least a year or two. However, I definitely follow the meta and know I have (or at least) had some high DPS when I did parse.
TLDR: Maybe not a DPSer, more like a fast-damage hobbyist.
Agreed. You sum up the more reasonable aspects of my actual “complaints” well. Uninteresting.
However, I do still play daily. Now, more recently, that’s been no more than 30 minutes, simply to do the daily checkbox and leave. There’s (currently) nothing “interesting” for me; I hope the new team and arc will introduce a change for the better. I grew weary of the new coat of paint on the old grind TFOs. Worse still, the odd movement of the game further from science and exploration.
What I want is the Foundry and puzzle-solving. What I have is a pew-pew DPS chase and there are much better (free/cheap) games out there which can do that. Still, I continue to log in daily because I want this game to explore the new direction they conclude the post with. :)
