Streamlining the Mission Journal[ | ]
With the launch of Age of Discovery, we have chosen to update the story experience throughout the episode journal.
We’ve moved a number of episodes which occurred before the Delta Quadrant Arc out of the required mission journal flow.
These episodes will still be available via hand-off missions in the Available missions tab.
In addition to this, Task Force Operations will be unlocked at lower levels as player’s progress through the episode arcs.
Task Force Operations is the new name for PvE Queues.
These changes mostly impact Federation captains but some changes were made for Klingon and Romulan Captains.
