STO....

As part of faffing about with STO over the years I've done Duty officer missions, mainly for the dilithium rewards. That is until the Admiralty missions came into being and became the main source for my reward dil. But the duty officer missions have their own rewards depending on the chain, where and with what race they are with. I've never really paid much attention to these Doff assignment chains, but it would seem that with time and 'just' doing them I've completed a lot. I did do one big push to complete as many of them as possible a few months ago. That was done out of a 'meh I may as well' complete content for the sake of completing content. This last weekend saw me doing the same. The wait for the latest event's 21 hour cool-down and a need to do something drove this on. So I now find myself having done all but one chain. Not bad.... 

I've no idea if it really helps my main at all but it can't hurt. I've never really needed any of the unique rewards. Others grind them and place the rewards on the exchange but given the prices of some of those things it doesn't seem worth doing.

The event on the other hand is a pain, it really feels like a grind. The new patrols are good and quick enough to do; But that TFO and the new mission leave me wanting to bang my head off the desk....

 

Only another 14 days of these dailies....... Two solid weeks for that ship reward.....

I like the new event interface, it makes doing multiple in game actions for an overall reward possible. BUT I kind of liked the one action daily of previous events. Then again events like the summer or winter include a specific 'fun' location and multiple time limited 'fun things to do' never mind the event shop and currency etc. This current event is pushing a specific trio of actions based on a theme that I'm not into. You can't blame Star Trek Online for taking new Trek franchise content and running with it. New content in Trek allows for Trek Online to broaden the game. And no matter how much I may dislike the new Trek series I always said I'd close my eye's and swallow such broader game content for the rewards. It's proving to be a much harder pill to swallow than I thought it would be.
