New STF

I have both an idea and an observation.

When the evil Undine bowl brushes attack, they use a kind of suk hole to trap you.

Why not make the suk hole die with the ship that spawned it?

Also, if I'm in Fluid Space, where does the suk hole come from? Real Space? If so how should that effect my ship?

    Here I thought you were talking concept for a new STF, and then you're just talking about the game mechanics in non-STF missions...

    Shame on you weird lama-thingie.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Ah I see the confusion.

    No, I'm speaking of course about the "New" or newest STFs we received in Season 9.

    A few more:

    Please reorient Planet Killer nests as we don't have much vertical freedom of movement in STO. Good thing I have a tempest because the rear cannons get most of the shots while trying to orient on these things.

    Also, please do something with the lady's ? voice, it's really annoying. (Viscous Circle)

    I'm always confused by people insisting that only the Borg queue missions are STF's, but everything else somehow isn't. It's all the same stuff, go in, kill and get reward. :)

    The Special Task Force (STF) was created to fight the borg, hence STF only refers to the borg missions.

    It because the STFs evolved differently than the rest of the PVE content. They were basically repeatable story missions you had to group up for at their launching points in the Gamma Orionis block.

    There were originally four; Infected, Cure, Khitomer Accords and Terradome.

    From the STF article on STO wiki
    Content Designer "Gozer" described the difficulty ranges of the STFs remastered for Season 5 such as pre-Season 5 being "7 out of 10", the new Normal missions as "5 out of 10" and the new Elite missions as "10 out of 10".

    Prior to Season 5 Special Task Force missions were expected to require between one and two hours of playtime. Mission difficulty was relatively high; an experienced group would be challenged but not excessively so. Each episode was a self contained unit, comprising both ground combat and space combat sections. Each Borg STF mission awarded one of three components of the four-piece Borg Equipment set.

    Infected, Cure, and KA were split between their ground and space elements with season 5.

    Original order was: Infected Ground-> Infected Space-> Cure Space-> Cure Ground->Khitomer Space (first half)->Khitomer Ground-> Khitomer Space (Scimitar battle).

    Only Terradome (before it was removed outright last year) was never split.

    The "Hive" STFs end the Borg STF storyline.

    If it is not named in this list, it's NOT an STF.
    Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
    What's my position?
    That people should know what they're screaming about!
