STO....

I've been taking a look at my 'recruit' event characters. Ones I'd created to take advantage of the bonus's they get when completing in game content. Once these 'agents' unlock an item from their 'transponder' they receive bonus materials, marks, maybe a trait or equipment; But more importantly cross account unlocks regardless of faction.

Temporal unlocks to me are the pinnacle of the system; I've about 50% unlocked on my Temporal Science main(engineering was also a Temporal agent). Which all seems a bit too much like work to get done for fun at the moment. I'll get there soon enough. So I assessed the other two recruit types. My choice was between Gamma and Delta recruits. Looking down the Gamma(Jem'Hadar) list there's a lot for a character to unlock personally but none of it is really beneficial to other account characters. Delta on the other hand looked a lot more appealing.

That Delta recruit character was created during the last Delta event and also just as I bought the lifetime sub which was on sale. So a liberated Borg seemed apt at the time.

She didn't need that much extra work to clear most of the recruit benefits. Just one more level in R&D and she will hit level 5 for the last claim. More for completions sake. Plus I'd never really done R&D before so it's interesting. Even if 90% of what I create is turned immediately into salvage or sold to a vendor. Regardless it's been enlightening. A bit of a grind to level that lst big of R&D, a good excuse to do some Admiralty/rep/doff stuff, and enjoy the remaining journey.....

Transponder unlocks:

Reclaim across the account:

Like doing the R&D, getting back to a character that's more 'basic' is a refreshing eye opener. Not a shocking one but I noticed the little differences. Like missing reputation traits. Her rep is middling across the board so that's not really going to happen any time soon.

I've no aim for this character after this. I'll get the recruit stuff done and do a pass of her
ship/gear/ground setup/Boff and Doff's and once I'm happy(or happy enough) that she's "in the right place" I'll log off and move on. Never say never but my main and main alts need more attention.

It's been a nice change of pace while it's lasted....
