So what is there to do at 'end game'?

Been playing since soon after launch and a VIP13 now f2p player as I'm done throwing money at this game.
Basically I have no cards that are */5 or >2/4 to work on, and my chron stockpile is increasing massively with voyages. With only one story node not fully starred needing investigator (as detailed in another thread) there really is nothing to do except wait for each event to get more crew to work on.
Any others in similar position and what do you do to keep interested, or is time to walk away (for a bit?)?

It is crew collecting game and gambling of course...
rinse and repeat.
Rather than chasing new crew members through the Time Portal, I've been focusing on stockpiling key items (Casings, Clothing Patterns, Databases, Identification Codes, Polyalloys, Starfleet Uniform Patterns). This week's event will feature Blood Oath Jadzia Dax, whom I have already immortalized. If she's the threshold reward, then I won't have anyone new until the end of the event; if she's the rank reward, then I should be able to equip the new character quickly.
I've also been running a lot of space missions so I can contribute as many Holoemitters to my fleet's Starbase as possible.
I'm staying away from portals, but always find someone else to level up, admittedly I'm only a year into play. Chasing the events has seen to some of that. I keep some characters I really don't like so that I can use them to get ones that I do.
In my case, I have plenty who still need stars and there are still several more that I'd like to get, but I'm not going to go chasing them in the Time Portal. Playing for a year as strictly F2P/VIP 0 taught me the importance of patience in this game. My budget for indulging in this game is small, and even if I wanted to loosen the purse strings a little, some of the recent goings on have made me apprehensive about the security and longevity of this game.
That year as F2P also taught me to be selective. At times, I let go of a crew member I really wanted to keep because I instead needed to hold on to someone with a specific trait or who had significantly better stats. I'm at the point now where I can be more selective based on who interests me, and take my chances that letting someone with strong stats go by will be okay. There's always someone new next week, after all.
Very true on the new crew and things do come back. And I am right there with you portal wise. I might get an event pack this coming week to FF the new STD crew if I feel like it, but the Gauntlet, Voyages and Galaxies give me enough to pull should I desire to try to get new crew. I'd be tempted to do a 5 star behold for honor if I wasn't trying to FF some main cast ones like Mobile Doctor.

Collecting and immortalizing are really just different shades of the same thing. I do compete in the Gauntlet, but it's only ever been a peripheral dalliance.
I've never really had much interest in games in general, so I'm unlikely to take up something new. Plenty of other things to do, though!
There are a substantial amount of 4*'s (and B'Etor) I don't have and I'm not above getting a new monthly card if I feel like it. Just waiting for events and seeing what voyages give me. I got Baseball Kira a couple days ago. A 1/4 is not useful but I'm happy to have the character.

Awe! You do that for us?!? You're the best, Silver.

Hmm, so the game ends when you spend enough money to to get 50 immortalized crew? Guess it's never going to end for me since I only have 2 until the next event, then I'll get my third.. All mine were gotten through mega events and honor not spending money buddy
I think every fleet needs some folks dedicated to that. I'm do my best on that as soon as my event crew is ready for the each event, but definitely not as dedicated as Silver.
My fleet has a list of alternative ship battle missions with similar drop rates. It has helped us greatly, as we only have one room to go.
Credits and the occasional 4* casing is the only thing that slows me down. I now have over 400 units of each replicator ration so even 100 level super rare and legendary items do not stop me.
I pulled from the ENT portal just because I ran out of crew to level. So Trip and Soval with keep me occupied for 3 days.
I hate Galaxy events but I will play enough to grab the new O'Brien just because he's somebody to level.
