After I had to figure out, that Elachi Alert was removed (never playered because CC and Birds for marks), I'm asking my self if removed content will return. I startet Terradome a few days before removal with a team. Due to teammates having to leave I was never able to finish the mission.
Will removed missions return one day (limited time)?
Rerun of limited time missions (without rewards, f.e. 1-3 Year Anniversary Event)
The Missions should be still avaible in the revision control system. Therefore it should be no Problem to release a playable version (not bugless) of the missions.

I miss going into Terradome solo and 1v1ing fake Sulu. Though now with all the rep gear I have, it probably wouldn't be as much of a challenge.
Support 90 degree arc limitation on BFaW! Save our ships from looking like flying disco balls of dumb!
Lol
Still waiting for the computer core fragments to be restored in the "Defense Contract" daily, which would then allow us to do the "Salvage Dispute" daily that can no longer be accessed..... :rolleyes:
Rest is really unknown.
So it sounds like there was some reason behind it. Maybe story-related or something.
I was gonna mention those
I remember them being awesome.

Unfortunately, it will be a queued version where ground and space are seperated, and any form of story is lost.
We'll warp in fight parts 1&3 for space, and get our marks, and go back (if we go back) and do part 2 on the ground... of course they will make it easier, less enemies, less spawns, something that can be done... in 5 minutes.

Oh I know. The last true raid will be gone for good then.
Actually, I'd like to see the Doomsday machine make an entrance in an event, akin to the crystalline entity.
It would make an awesome 10 person raid.
And so dies the last "true" STF.
Quite appalling really.
They seriously need to put it back, as well as all the other original STF's, and attach nice and very "generous" Omega mark/dilithium rewards to them.
Perhaps even some special accolades and cosmetics too.
But now the STFs are just grinds, not close to their original quality. See this post:
Oh I know that... BUT it is disjointed. The space STF's as we know them today are combinations of the Begging and Ending battles from the original STF's... as such the stories are disjointed.

The was a thread asking what happened to it and this was, as far as I know, Brandon's last response on the matter.
Nowhere was it ever said that Elachi Alert was a limited time event. I'm guessing Cryptic hadn't decided yet on whether or not they were going to keep the event in the game and made a sudden decision to remove it for some reason. Even the link in Brandon's post doesn't mention it was a limited time event. Heck, I don't recall there even being a dev blog explaining how to do the mission. All I remember seeing was it mentioned in the patch notes the day it was released and that was pretty much it I think.
And when I say sudden decision I mean it. There wasn't even an announcement that it was being removed. We all logged in one day to find it gone and ^this is all they could tell us for the time being.
Edit: As I pointed out in that thread, usually they would advertise a limited time event and the event would give us some sort of reward for doing it so many days, like the Crystalline Cataclysm event having a special event project to complete.
All Elachi Alert gave us was was a choice of marks. It was released shortly before season 8 and initially only gave us a choice of fleet marks or romulan marks. Then after season 8 launched they added a choice of dyson marks.
My guess is maybe Cryptic had a sudden idea on how to improve the event, maybe make an elite version of it, and/or there were some major bugs with the event that had to be fixed right away and it was something that would take them a while to do.
I don't know but I look forward to more info on this. There's no denying the event was popular. I loved it but it was, in my opinion, a bit too easy, and sitting at a spot of the gate with the ships pressing the F key over and over to speed up progress so we could get the bonus before the timer ran out was pretty boring.
1v1 with sulu wasn't really difficult, it was dealing with the undine ships that spawned after that gave me problems. I never liked the mission itself because I'm not much for team play (hence why I don't pvp) and I really only used it to test different builds.
I liked Elachi more than Azure and Vault Ensnared for building Rom marks.
We need more not less!
It was removed because it was only a temporary mission to go side by side with the launch of Sphere of Influence.
It wasn't clearly stated that it was only a temporary mission though.
For Rom Marks do the daily Tau Dewa sector patrol you get 60 or sometimes 75 marks a day for completing.
It was removed as it was only a temporary mission with the launch of Sphere of Influence.
Azure would be better with some changes. But, I enjoyed playing Elachi, despite the flashing of the portal material.
I don't think it's particularly wise to remove content that players enjoy when it's not radically different from other content. Something like the Winter Wonderland is different enough to justify restricting it. But Elachi was similar to other space PvE. Removing it seems arbitrary and backward.
What we need is more grouping of events.
