During Season 10 in Star Trek Online, players of all factions will be banding together to stop the Iconian threat. As part of the reward system for assisting in the endeavor, players can earn Iconian Marks by completing repeatable queued events that feature the Iconian Heralds. More Marks can be earned if players choose to scale the event to a higher level and successfully complete the event.
Iconian Probe Datacores can also be earned at the advanced and elite versions of the queued events. These datacores will be a required component to access the highest level gear. Datacores can also be traded for Dilithium Crystals.
The latest Star Trek Online developer blog also reveals the rewards players can gain by trading in marks. Players can trade for gear sets, reputation, ordinance sets and more.

If you like the idea of grinding something new every month to keep up, continue playing. If you just jump in casually and play it here and there its not bad but end-game requires a continuous grind for the newest ships, gear, bridge officers, consoles, ship weapons that they keep introducing. That is the trap in free to play games, in order to continue to make money, they have to keep introducing more powerful things for players to buy or they would stop making money.
Don't worry, it's not as bad as people on this site like to hyperbole. It is a grind, but I've seen much much worse.
Started playing it again last weekend and its not bad for what it is.
I do like some of the missions on STO its like being part of a star trek episode.. But I only really play it by myself dont really play it as an mmo.
Still its nothing to write home about and i would not spend any money on it.
I don't know of any other way of doing it other than grind.
One because every game has grind.
