Removal of "The Breach"

Did we ever get a reason why this was removed? I've looked and not been able to find out why. That was my fav STF. the only theory I've come up with its perhaps with the release of the Annorax or the Vomph ships they were too big for the map?

    Im pretty sure they would fit inside the thing <insert joke here>. I vaguely remember something about revamping them? Couldnt find the source, though.

    Its a shame they removed it, was a good and interesting mission, well, except maybe aceton explosions, which are practically impossible to prepare for - their charge-up visual gets lost in the other effects, and theres fat chance your target is the one doing it, and also it causes extreme damage.

    It was removed alongside Minetrap due to lack of player participation. The fact that those maps have been basically starved to death by the effort/reward/risc ratio they offered makes me rather feel uneasy about a number of other maps in the future. Undine Assault, Herald Sphere and Infected Manus come to mind. While I would not miss the first two Infected Manus would mean removing my favorite stage.

    I hope cryptic explores more ways to get peeps to play PvE maps before removing contend in the hope newer contend gets promoted by it.

    One of my favourites too.

    It was a good one, but yes I remember it was removed to be revamped.

    And it was a newer PVE that came out with the Dyson Rep, etc.

    Was this the trench run type one where you flew too fast to fire more than one torpedo at the ground targets?

    I liked doing it...but I imagine many didn't since it isn't the kind of STF you can obliterate in 3 minutes.

    They're braindead moronic morons...they also took my beloved "Mine Trap". Unless they bring back scheduled events, the Queues are pretty much worthless.

    Lol I pug queues all the time. There's only a few which wont pop, and those need better rewards. What time are you playing when population gets so low?

    It's being refurbished, most likely making it that the recent large ships can move through without getting stuck.​​

    @thatcursedwolf & @markhawkman

    I thought that was from that other IP. Star Battles? Space Wars? You know, the one where they blow up Dark Invader's office, the Desk Star? Luke Duke flies the General Lee down the trench and fires a torpedo into the little hidey-hole.

    Didn't one of the devs deny that on reddit? About large ships?

    I wish they brought them back. I liked The Breach and absolutely loved Mine Trap.​​

    I've done it in both an Oddy and a D'Deridex. I only ever got stuck if a lag spike occurred while I was in emergency escape mode.

    But the krenim and iconian ships are monstrously large compared to those.​​

    The Krenim ship is more long than wide. the Quas isn't THAT big... The Vonph though... not sure.

    Breach was a solid, fun mission. It just needed bigger rewards, in proportion to the investment of time. But big payouts run contrary to the overriding theme of "grind metrics," and so the alternative is removing it entirely.
  • ltminnsltminns Member Posts: 12,572 Arc User
    And now there is also another less Mission for the Shuttle Event. Remember, No Win was also a Shuttle Event Mission before that got axed. I find myself just doing Atmospheric Assault mostly now anyway for that Event.

    I was curious about where a poster got his Avatar changed. Seems I found the source.

    I was able to get around in a Scimitar easy...

    I don't see how a Vonph would really get stuck unless you hover really close to the bottom.

    Too much queues aren't good because most of them are empty. This is probably the reason why they removed several queues.
  • gaalomgaalom Member Posts: 531 Arc User
    Well the amount of content that has been pulled and then put back into the game is a long list. A good example of this would be the cardassian sector. I think I have redone that at least three times now, because they have continued to upgrade it. The original series of missions their were a nightmare, as it was you and four other officers facing off against 50 some cardassians on the ground. The new series is better, though not a fan of turning the mirror universe into a long term fixture, they really should have done the long term fixture for the Borg. My point is who knows what they will bring back and what they will take out to rework. Star Trek online is heavy on pve so I wouldn't write off anything not coming back.
