At long last, the new content drought that Star Trek Online has been experiencing is over, albeit with a trickle rather than a flood. The new Feature Episode series, the Dominion centred ‘The 2800′, has begun with the first part of the arc, Second Wave.
To those who don’t know, the Feature Series missions are five part arcs that span 5 weeks, with each ‘episode’ of the arc being uploaded in a Saturday, just like the TV show. Hailed as a great success by the STO community, the Feature Episodes are a great way to keep content from getting old in one day while building suspense for the next installment. If you’re not interested in fancy loot or accolades, the story telling in these arcs are fantastic. It’s no secret that Star Trek Online was in a poor state upon release, missions lacked cut scenes and voice overs. After some of the regular content got a face lift (The Doomsday Device being the main one), these Feature Episodes have all the trimmings. Cut scenes, voice overs and plenty of epic battles, these missions are the cream of the crop when it comes to STO content.
Second Wave, the first episode in the arc, is out today. The next episode, of Bajor, will be out next Saturday.
