    I love ST lore, but ... graphics, physics, ... are so depressing, that I could never force myself to play more then half hour, then forget for year or so.

    Dear Mr. Geko, when you guys released the updated rewards recently, we were told "we wanted to ensure that time invested would earn you similar rates of these rewards across the game – regardless of what you choose to play”. However, at the moment replaying an episode rewards less than doing a patrol, even though the episode takes more time. Unfortunately that is the opposite of the philosophy stated previously, so can you please adjust this? Thanks!

     

    Oh, and for the love of God, add a security officer/contraband NPC to New Romulus. It's been almost 2 years since the Romulan faction was released. Come on.

    Absolutely this.

    If you do content in the game, the rewards should be reflected on the time, and difficulty of said content. An STF should reward the best, at all times, as it's the most difficult content. Some groups can complete an STF in less than 5 minutes, while others require 15-20 minutes. In this instance, an "average time" should be the determining factor for the rewards.

    Patrols are easy content, take about 5 minutes to complete, and rewards more than the Episode/Story missions which take considerably longer. Some episodes can easily take 30-45 min to complete.
