Still super excited to get a new STF, obviously, but is there any insight as to why all the other STFs have a Space and a ground version, yet this new one is only going to be ground ?
Just wondering if that decision process can be shared ?
I would imagine the other STFs have both Space and Ground is because before they were split up as they are now they were each a single continuous mission. So instead of thowing away either portion they split them up, (with minor changes in some cases).
I should note that there are a TON of space missions releasing with Season 7! More dev blogs soon
Cheers,

Cryptic, I understand why the original STFs were broken up, but the story line no longer makes any sense. The narratives of the original 3 STFs were completely ruined when they were split up and had many of the conversations removed.
A suggestion: Put the original STFs back in (with tweaks to playability...) in *addition* to the current iterations, so that fleets and organized groups can still experience the story as they were originally intended.
Perhaps the longer versions could offer better rewards commensurate to their higher level of difficulty. Everyone wins in this scenario. You already have the content, and the only thing that needs to be done is for them to be connected back to the PVE queue system.
... nudge the team on gozers Children of Khan arc every so often please.
Yes ! What theReaper just said.
YOu could always ... just walk by offices and say the words Children of Khan.
When they ask how your day was ... you could answer The Children of Khan would have made this a GREAT day !
When they ask what you are having for lunch ... you could say Children of Khan's Turkey Sandwich.
When they ask what is your favorite story ... you could say ...
I kid , of course, but I know there is a serious hope among players that Children of Khan has not been forgotten.

They said couple of times its not gonna happen . I dont know. No mean no .
About time for a new stf.. I love ground combat I do always hear the common whine about its star trek not ground trek. The thing is this is a game made from over half a century of ST series content which over half of it was away teams/ground. Ground combat is very simple so I do not see why people do not like it not to mention how fun it is

I no longer follow these forums closely enough to know what has and has not been ruled out - but I don't see a down side. If the short versions remain, what do they lose by adding the old ones back?
Any notion of 'story' in the current STFs is rubbish. Story was tossed out when they cut them down to 15 minute summaries.
