From a Trekkie perspective I am 4/5. I treat the STO stories as I do the stories in the various series and movies: some I love, some I hate, most exist in that grey area between love and hate.

From an MMOer perspective I am probably closer to 7. I understand that STO is a game and it needs to have certain game and IP tropes to attract the largest possible audience - such as having an all-purpose C-Store. Oftentimes those tropes will conflict with canon and people just need to accept that idea.
