I'm fairly new to STO and I saw that they are going to incorporate weekly episodes and it makes me wonder. I notice that updates are called Seasons and missions called Episodes. When in reference to TV Seasons and Episodes they take a season off and then return later. I know that developing weekly episodes can we straining on the development of a game so I wonder if these weekly episodes will be every other season or is the commitment to every week.
I beleive that for now it will be 7 episodes for this season, but from what I understand they're going to do this every season. I'm not sure how it's going to work on a weekly basis, maybe after they run through all 7 they'll put them up again until newer ones come out, kinda like reruns?
That raises another question in my mind. Once the weekly episode has been added is it then in there for the lifespan of the game? Say my friend joins up in 6 months is she going to have missed out on the story or can she run through them at a later time, just like a rerun.
Or maybe they will be added in the C-Store after the season is over. Like "Buy Season 2" which would then give you access to the "rerun" of the episodes
AFAIK, it was stated in one of the interviews that the weekly episodes don't expire, so if you come in after they're all done, I think you can do them all in a row if you want.

Yeah, dsthal said that the weekly missions would be permanent additions to the game in one of his many interviews (I think it might have been the one with massively). If they keep the weekly missions up, it'll add up over time to a fair few extra leveling options to Feds and give Klings a bit more of their badly needed PvE content. Which is reason enough to keep them as permanent additions to the game.
