New Feature:
Streamlining the Mission Journal:
- With the launch of Age of Discovery, we have chosen to update the story experience throughout the episode journal.
- We’ve moved a number of episodes which occurred before the Delta Quadrant Arc out of the required mission journal flow.
- These episodes will still be available via hand-off missions in the Available missions tab.
- In addition to this, Task Force Operations will be unlocked at lower levels as players progress through the episode arcs.
- Task Force Operations is the new name for PvE Queues.
- These changes mostly impact Federation captains but some changes were made for Klingon and Romulan Captains.
- This is still a work in progress.
- For more details, please visit the Streamlining the Mission Journal blog at: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10993953-streamlining-the-mission-journal
Known Issue:
- The reputation tab is temporarily not accessible as we continue work on extending each reputation to Tier 6.

Also you should totally give us the old mission rewards that used to be from featured reruns. Since those never happen any more and yourey revamping old missions anyhow.
Also, I do not do PvE Queues...will I be able to skip those.

Adding Klingons to "Stranded in Space" is nice. It makes it more of a unified Klingon alliance effort, rather than a rogue band of Orions. The Klingon male Captain at the beginning of the final space part is still using the old Orion female Captain's voiceover.
The cutscenes being skippable in "Diplomatic Orders" is nice, as is trimming the part where you have to go down the hill at the end of the ground portion on P'Jem.
Neither of these have the Hail Starfleet option at the end. I hope that that's a bug, as going back to Quinn to turn in every mission will get tedious.
Dr. Shian follows you through all of the ground parts of "Researcher Rescue" now, giving out some bits of Gorn lore. That's a decent change, and possibly a hook for future content.
I noticed no changes in "Secret Orders" or "Doomsday Device." There was something different in the latter, but I assume it was a bug. You don't fly the Targ in the later space parts of that mission. Great for dealing with the satellites, but not so good for fighting the Doomsday Machine, since I didn't have any Harg'peng torpedoes on me, and I'm not even certain that the version that we can equip to any ship would work. I hope this is not the finished state for "Doomsday Device," even aside from that, as it would be a wasted opportunity to turn that mission into something other than boring slog.
The New Romulus handoff mission has a problem, since the queues that it asks you to do aren't in the PvE queues list, at least on the max-level character that I used. Every other handoff that Quinn had available had the proper queues to complete it also available.
There is literally nothing in the Available tab, so testing how we start the old FE series missions, and whether or not we can repeat them, is impossible right now.
They did a Featured Episode event in January, about 18 months after the previous one. That's not exactly regular, but it's better than the more than 2 years between the previous 2.
And yes, bloody make sure the missions are replayable, because "available tab" doesn't really allow that now except for dailies.
Personally, I'm all for an "optional/sidequest tab" being added with the missions in question. Working exactly ike the "episodes tab" (preferably without recurring bugs, though).
Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
Polish is one thing, but just moving that stuff means people just won't play it and will complain that they can't level quickly enough.
Even worse is the idea of putting low level players into STFs like Khitomer, Cure etc. The only way I think that would work, is if they had their own unique "low level" version of it which was a lot easier and totally separate from the normal queues.
Agree and "optional/sidequest tab" sounds like a great idea.
They won't get the handoff mission until they do the Borg Advance arc, which is level 45-46. Players used to be able to do the Normal versions of those STFs at 44.
Moving the Devidian and Breen arcs to Available isn't much of an issue, since the contacts for those missions, Drake/K'men and Surah, are already in there with their dailies, The others will add clutter to it, though. Two new contacts for the Reman arc, and 1 each for the Dominion arc and Nimbus, 2 for Nimbus if you're a Romulan. There are supposed to be handoffs for those, as well, so people not finding them shouldn't be a problem.
Can you be more specific on the error message?
The server is currently down as a new update was applied (presumably with the new TFO content announced today)
If you are seeing The Server is unavailable at this time than that is why.
