Having been here since launch I have seen a ton of content that is no longer available. Frankly, that is a travesty to the new players who never got to experience the original STFs and exploration content. Perhaps the powers that be could arrange a temporal timeline that would allow the new players to access the 30 or so older missions so they could experience them as we first did. Cost wise these old missions are already paid for and even though they are old code they still function. So why not let Drake have a mission timeline to send new players back into the past to help out?
Content is important FREE CONTENT is the best kind of content. PWE/Cryptic needs to learn to recycle and let people experience the past.

We all know our dear leaders opinion on that and how it has been murdered over and over with obvious OP gear/ship bait. Just something to think about.
- Most of these Missions make the game look bad ... yet DR Patrols seem to be the best thing that ever happened
- They make the Client "too big" ... yup they actually said that ...
So don't hold your breath ... if anything expect more Content-Removal in the future ("Cardassian Struggle" i.E.)
In other threads I see that there are some serious issues concerning employment by Cryptic employees. Is this the beginning of the end of Star Trek Online? I for one hope not.
Or become a war criminal in Divide et Imperia?
Point taken but the temporal mission line would allow level 60 players screaming about "0" content a whole new line of thinking. It would take very little effort to bring those missions back. While we are at it, PWE/Cryptic needed to spend money on upgrading their hardware about 3 years ago. We have seen so many problems from server instability to lag to flat out disconnects. They need to significantly increase the capicity of the client side.
Not to mention all the old accolades they could acquire.
the "too big" comment was directed at the Exploration clusters. There were literally thousands of exploration cluster missions. that's a lot of game data even if it reuses assets ad nauseum.
And yeah, they really did stink. Beam down, scan 5 rocks, leave, makes patrols seem exciting by comparison. Sure there were a few that were actually fun missions, but most were boring.

Yes ... so ? Who would have thought it's a response to the OP ... :rolleyes:
Very true, but rather than removing them they could have gone through and overlaid them with foundry missions. That would have been a simple and unique answer to the exploration problem.
Which works out to be close to what you suggested. But on a larger scale since it's EVERY door from sector space, not just the exploration clusters.

I am of the belief that a panel should decide what foundry content goes where as cannon missions. Players may be more willing to play more exploration type missions if they were not tagged as a Foundry mission. Also noted they need to add functional and appropiate rewards
to the missions.
And here is the bad News ... lots of these Clusters don't even have a Foundry TOP 3, because there aren't any Foundries there ...
Zenas = 0
Betreka = 0
Khazan = 0
Eridan = 0
Hromi = 0
B'Tran = 0
Arucanis = 2
Afehirr = 2
Rolor = ~3
Delta Volanis = 3+
=> all these Exploration Foundries, who could replace the old Clusters, don't even exist ...
Dunno, most ppl would most likely be shot instantly by some passing vaper. And I guess this would also fall under the category "monotonous". PvP is in every game only for a small amount of players.
Sounds like opportunity to me. Once they roll out the sector space revamp, hopefully there will be even more doors to hang a mission on.

Well it's almost a year since the removal of Clusters & the addition of new Foundry Doors ... so I wouldn't hold my breath ...
... maybe some massive Foundry Challenge could help ... but opening Foundry Doors alone, obviously didn't "work" ...
Okay, into the recycle bin your PvP goes then! :P And let's talk about it no more.
I was more of the opinion that it should have been expanded, upgraded and added to so the patterns weren't quite as predictable. I kinda miss killing the Random-Generated Aliens and their crappy NPC ships. Kinda silly. But "Scan 5 items" and "Defeat 5 groups" needed to be mixed up.
Hence the second part of my post about it being murdered. This meant not cared about/considered or even recognized by the devs unless they were nerfing the rewards because of non-PvPers.
Fractured Space
Exactly, even if they put them as "Temporal Foundry Missions" that woud be better than sending them to file 13.
