I can barely tolerate what they've done to Star Trek Online. I usually skip playing the Shitscovery episodes, though they did a better job with elements of those in the story about the Mirror-Universe V-Ger that came out last year. I had a great time seeing the evil Tilly get whacked >:) and the evil Janeway and evil Leeta are fun, hehehe. It was really weird seeing my Mirror-Universe self and playing her in some parts of the story.
What makes me sad is, they've gotten rid of a lot of the older storylines they had when the game came out in 2010, and I miss some of them. We had one where Miral Paris was kidnapped by a crazy, evil, time-traveling Klingon "ambassador," and we had to chase him to the TOS era and got to meet his younger self, as well as the Klingons who needed Miral's DNA to fix the augment virus that made them look more human in that time period. (They finally came up with a plausible story behind why the Klingons looked different in Kirk's time).
They now have a planet you can visit that feels like the Star Trek equivalent of "Tattooine/Dune," but it's called Nimbus III and has Gorn as well as Orions and Romulans causing trouble there. They even have giant sandworms called Aehallh (ay-HALL-uh) that you can fight on foot.
There are several 5-episode story arcs that used to be available at certain levels, but if you make a new character now, you can only play them at level 60, which is so unfair :(
