So, who's frantically exploring and who's betting on accolades beeing dropped?
Cryptic typically puts the least amount of effort possible into accolades. When they remove the Exploration zones, if they do nothing to the accolades, then I expect any that are already completed will stay. Any accolades not completed will be left non-completable, indefinitely (and remain a mess on your In Progress list). I do not expect them to put effort into actually removing any accolades.
With that in mind, while I wouldn't say I'm "frantically" exploring, I am working to complete my Explore accolades on my Accolade Character (my Main). Over the last couple days, I've completed about 140 3-part explores in the various zones. I've only got four more Nomads to complete, then I'll have nine Explorers left (including those four). I've spreadsheeted it, done the math, and assuming no RL issues pop-up to take away from my usual playing time, I'll be done no later than Monday 06/30 (taking my time), possibly quite sooner (if I push).
I also do not expect them to put any effort into making any partially-completed accolades trigger and auto-complete. And if they do, and I put all this recent effort into it, would I consider it wasted time? Nah. My character is picking up a little Dil, tons of XP, anomalies, running DOff missions, etc. etc. It's pretty easy/mindless, so I'm watching TV while doing it, which helps pass the time.
If they remove the accolades all together (which I really doubt), then I'll have the same beef that all the other people who will have lost hundreds of accolade points, and we'll light those torches at that time.

Personally, I'm still planning to just go ahead and finish my accolades now. I've been meaning to for a while anyway, and since I've girded my loins to do so, might as well just get 'em out of the way.
:rolleyes:

As far as exploration accolades go, yes. Doesn't sound encouraging for exploration in general. 'We'll want to rectify that' reminds of all the claims that they'd like to do more with PvP; and we all know how high a priority that's been for Cryptic.
I for one did put my two cents on the forum regarding exploration and it being a DOFF system. I never thought they would actually get to it since it's been in the idea stage forever.
Thinking through the consequences of their changes is not a Cryptic's forte. You have my condolences.

Is now possible to get exploration mission from doff system in cluster? or will be later?
The exploration missions are gone. Removed from the game. You will never again encounter Borg searching for artifacts their 3rd Dynasty or finding out who destroyed those civilian ships.
What has changed:
- The new "nebulas" that replaced the clusters provide doff assignments (as they used to, basically), and completing such doff assignments count towards the old exploration accolades.
- The new nebulas can be used as a mission start for Foundry missions, allowing people to write Foundry missions that take place in that nebula.

The very post you quoted holds the answer. Completing DOFF assignments you gain from the new nebulas that replaced the exploration clusters counts toward the accolades.

Completing doff missions at a nebula gives credit.

From today's patch notes:
Updated Khazan Cluster missions so that they should give credit to the Khazan exploration accolades.

Khazan was bugged. This is now fixed.

With the revamp and the reset of the undine/borg missions, accolades disappeared.
