Random Featured Episode

One feature I really liked towards the end of my WoW tenure was the Random Dungeon Finder.

You que up for a dungeon and select your preferred role. You can queue for specific ones and with a partial group...

... But you get a bonus for going full random. When your team is assembled you get the option to teleport to the location. The first time you do this each day, you get a really nice reward and then those rewards diminish each time until they hit a baseline.

Now... STFs are really too hardcore for that in STO. Fleet Actions require too many people.

But if you weeded out the text puzzle Featured Episodes, these would be an ideal candidate because they're available at any level and the rewards tend to scale. It's also possible to restrict this to ones you've already played via the same tech as the replay system.

So what do you think about a Featured Episode Replay Finder?

Queue up, find a group, get a special transwarp to the randomly selected mission. Set it so that it works across levels and everyone is automatically "fleeted" up to the highest level player.

Ideally, you could just login and chain these all day long if you want, maybe with some emblems for the first random one you do each day.

Assembling a team for this kind of content is just senselessly tedious and by making it a replay feature, you guarantee everyone knows what they're doing to some extent, and by making it a Featured Episode, you guarantee everyone gets a scaling challenge and reward.
