    Unfortunately STO at endgame is a slog of a grind. Its boring to do, but required to get the best gear in game. My suggestion is to work on getting your reputations levelled up. So do TFO's to earn all mark types and do the daily projects. While you are waiting for those to tick over, start getting starship traits from ships you own.

    The nice thing about that is the patrols give loads of Starship mastery XP making it far easier to master your ships. My recommended patrol rotation is:
    • The Ninth Rule (Kinjer System)
    • Search and Rescue (Kern System)
    • Wanted (Argala System)
    You can find these patrols in the Task Forces Operations window in the patrol tab.

    Each patrol has a 30min cooldown so you'll have to sit on your hands if you've got lots of ships to master. There's some useful links below ^_^

    Pls help guide me in right direction Smile
    If you are like me and hit level 65 WAAAAAY before finishing all the episodes, then I suggest completing all of those, some of them have pretty decent storylines. One in particular I thought was just brilliant.

    But yeah, I've hit a plateau too: completed all missions at least once, have rep maxed out and I'm tired already of grinding more marks/dil/doffs just for gear. Spending many hours doing the same things, to get a slightly better weapon is no longer fun. Nor do I want to plough real life money in it.

    One thing to definitely consider: while there isn't a very active cooperative element, the UFP TFO events (check the event link on the site) are fun to join. Much better to run TFOs together with some other UFPers! Suggest you install Team Speak, even just to listen to some of the banter.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Oh as a PS - I second the notion of starting a character of another faction, even just to play the intro storyline missions Smile But if you end up grinding for gear, might as well do it with a few alts for extra dil etc. You might not be able to share every item across the account, but a lot of stuff you can.
