Regulus embassy, I believe.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
Great job on updating the missions. I'm truly happy with what is coming in Season 8.5.
It's the new Federation Embassy on Regulus. It's the lobby of the building.
You really have to try hard to die in STO at this point, even on Elite difficulty. The only thing we've got to be prepared for are gamebreaking bugs...
On a serious note, it's nice to see more revamped story missions, but I'm not kidding when I say the game is so easy you barely need to pay any attention to what you're doing to beat all story content. Pitty that seems to be a design decission, to accommodate more casual players.
Also, I still would like to know why War is Good for Business is being removed.

Only that Romulans have their own storyline and canNOT play their ally's specific storymissions.
STOWiki admin.
c'mon make some new fe's.surely it takes less time to make a new mission than to re-hash the same missions over and over again.
You can however join a Starfleet friend if they start one of their missions.
Challenge is fun. And an option to have a challenge is always appreciated. It's understandable that the devs would want to appeal primarily to the casual crowd, but it has come to the point where PvE missions became so easy people are basically solo-ing Elite STFs. Missions that were at least somewhat challenging a few years ago (like Pi Canis sorties optionals) can now be completed in seconds. It stopped being fun and became insta-win. Even no-win scenario is a grind fest for Fleet Marks nowadays.
This is also the reason I've stopped doing Foundry missions. Because unless the author throws 30 battleships at the player, there's no way one could create a new challenging enemy. As a result most PvE battles become tedious busywork, not a challenge or obstacle to deal with.
But please note that I don't count insta-wins in that, and also that I do like challenge as much as most people; I just prefer easy most of the time, as an example
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

I have an idea for what Season 11 should be; Season 11: The Big Bug Fix.
I have not been able to read my bug tickets in over a year, not even the tickets about not being able to see my tickets.
I find the drama of your signature proof of your immaturity, this means you, DR whiners.
No. Your fun makes everyone else's fun wrong by default.
Maybe have some kind of fun reward added to the first 20 levels of content for all factions as part of the anniversary month?
Maybe have an accolade for playing/re-playing X number of spotlighted low level missions that awards a prize?
For Feds it would be these remastered missions. For Klingons it would be an equal number of missions, including the Dorn ones. For Romulans, an equal number of "quality" missions.
I'd suggest making it a Klingon Veteran "Defector" for Feds and vice versa for Klingons. It'd even be a good excuse to fix Marauding BOs if you reused the art from the Diplo/Marauding BOffs but with a veteran trait added.
Who needs to cloak? :rolleyes:
This is pretty much the best thing out of the revamp, IMHO.
I really do love the revamped Embassy (inside and out), though wish they modernized the surroundings so it felt like a ambassadorial site. What embassy has dirt roads? :P
The BoP on Regulus is just way too small, it's almost the true size of a To'Duj fighter. Taco needs to beef it at least 4x in size.
The new Hippocrates Science Center, nice it's inside. Though wish they made it feel Vulcan than human, since this is a Vulcan location.
The revamped Kassae research center, the worst of the changes. Closing off the rooms and making me wonder........where are the doors?
The new Kessae Swamp, pretty much is the best environment change. Actually feels like a swamp now. Though I really do miss those literal hundreds of Gorn soldiers marching around. Now players have to resort to the Foundry for Gorn killing.
I didn't see any changes, seemed the same as it was four years ago.
I saw some carrer options, but nothing that changed the story.
And the only carrer accolades was just Stranded in Space, which is <surprise> bugged. And this is content that was revamped two years ago and never fixed.
So true.
Yeah this new revamp took out mobs and made you able to finish these missions in like 15 minutes. There is no challenge at all, the mobs are stupid easy even with a brand new character with nothing but common weapons. (Heck, I won't be surprised that you don't need armor or shields to do the content).
I also like to hear as well as why they are removing content.
I hear all sorts of excuses from all sorts of people, but nothing legitimate. It's a decent story with how the Orions were still doing their underhanded dealings as their contribution to the Klingon alliance. And I even saw the bartender in Drozana even reference this mission.
So why Cryptic?
Well ... With the hourly events going away ... Guess that means that Mirror Invasion is also disappearing ... so .... you will have to earn XP somehow.

Before this, when have they ever remastered any episodes? (Not including the tutorial remakes)
