The patrol missions really kill the flow. If they got rid of those or made them optional that would help. At least you don't have to hunt for temporal probes in them.

My Fed character has I think 8 small craft Admirality cards and the only one I ever paid for was the Type 10 Shuttle that came with the DS9 bundle.

Meanwhile my KDF has all 3 available Klingon small craft and I needed to buy a Voth fighter for Lobi just to make Admirality doable with the huge KDF science deficit.

Balance!

I feel bad about the abuse Trendy is probably having hurled at her on Reddit after the news of the TOS bridge crew codes came out while not actually even being AT STLV. The EMH boff was bad enough but this is probably gonna prompt death threats.

As bad as they are now, they used to be so much worse. Story missions were gated by level, and didn't give anywhere near enough XP to hit the correct level for the next story mission. The patrol missions were a subtle way of telling people to grind patrol missions to get enough XP to play the next story mission. So of course, a few days after release cryptic freaked out because people were grinding too fast, accused a huge chunk of the players of 'exploiting', and removed levels from a bunch of people.

Back on topic, as long as you're not forced to do dozens of the patrol missions, they don't kill the flow anywhere near as much as they used to.

It wasn't dozens total, it was dozens in between every single story mission. The 50-60 leveling curve was originally even worse than it is now.

Then they set a 30 minute timer on doing the same patrol.... without adding anything else, also knocked down xp gains from Doff'ing and well.... lololol :cryptic:

At least there is the Admiralty system now and they pushed some more mission into the 50-60 group.
