This weekend was a good one for me in STO. I took full advantage of double XP and got my Romulan to level 50. Duty Officer missions were just crazy. I got a critical success on one and it gave me 20k xp! That's quite a lot. So I have reached the old cap, only 5 years after launch too.
Here is where the game really starts. At 50 (Vice Admiral) you can buy end game ships. Those are T5U and T6. Up until this point, I was going through a new ship a week so it was hard to get attached and really pay attention to what was going on. But I pulled out the ol' wallet and bought a Faeht Intel Warbird, which will probably be my main ship for quite some time.
The game really changes at 50 now that I can concentrate on a ship. Plus, the reputation system opens up, and the specialization system opens up at 51. I still have loads of content ahead of me, which is nice. Plus, there are a lot of PvE queues available now too. I kind of feel overwhelmed. That's not necessarily a bad thing though.
