Double XP Results

Yeah, no worries, one guys actually thought we were gonna fail once the tank left. Although thanks to that I finally got my first dom to 50 on the only time I was able to log in this weekend.


And 2.1 drama was hilarious and stupid mixed with angry and awesome. Was greatly entertained.

*EDIT* Forgot to add, got my new troller to lvl 10 on DXP.

Time to thread jack. Sorry all. But.. the STO boards are kind of hostal.

Question, was it just you and a friend when you did this or did you have a full team? (or were you solo?)

I tried it solo, last night, for the first time, and got my @ KICKED. Resoundingly. I was kind of holding my own against the qubes for abit... barely. Wondering who many i need to beat this thing. My kid borthers plays, and he's a RA5 too. Wondering if the two of us could pull it off... I'm a Tatc in a science ship, he's Tact/Tact.

And any advice on tactics would be awsome. If you don't want to reply in this tread, PM me if you wouldn't mind. I'd really appreactie the help.

Ok, thread Jacking done. Thanks for your pactience.

Not so much anymore since the free 30 days is up and all the l33t, disenfranchised WoW crybabies left.

I PUGed it on full teams. It's impossible to solo fully as you need 3 toward the end to click 3 glowies simultaneously. It's designed for 5, but can be done with 3. Don't listen to the nooblets on the STO forums that say you need "healers/engineers only". They do make it easier if built right, but any class will do so long as you know what you are doing.

Part I: 4 ships engage all the Borg to grab their attention as they come through the gate. 5th ship zips behind the Transwarp portal and pew pews until it is destroyed (I usually have my Escort ship do this since it is built for maximum dps). Then go to town on the Tactical cube.

Part II: There are two types of Borg mobs in the station - stationary (around the nodes) and patrols. You can pull the patrols to clear them before hitting the node campers. Take out the nodes first to prevent ludicrous amounts of Borg reinforcements, clearing your way to the first Boss. Always destroy the nodes first whenever you see them!

Part III: Defeat the first Borg boss - pretty much a straight fight.

Part IV: On the final room, have 2 people provide cover fire while the other 3 do the Mario hop around to deactivate the force field units in the corners. Some things to keep in mind here ...

a. Use melee attacks to KB the drones into the acid. This is faster and more effective than shooting them to death while trying to deactivate the corner fields.

b. This is where Engineers are helpful. If they keep dropping phaser turrets/force field generators, the Borg will be mad and shoot at those instead of you. It buys you some time.

Part V: Once all the forcefields around the corners are down, upload the virus and the shield protecting the center thingy comes down. When it does, shoot it until it goes boom and the BQ will come out. Shoot her until she dies. We've found picking a corner to spawn her helps provide some cover from the drones that keep respawning. Having a Science officer here helps to debuff her and to buff you. Science powers can also spam exposes very quickly, so you'll have a better chance of getting/landing several critical shots to kill her quickly. She can do silly amounts of damage (1 to 2 shot you).

In terms of fighting the Borg ships... Science BOs and having a Science toon goes a long way. My Tactical/Escort toon does ok with Jam Sensors/Science Team II only (I've taken out 2 Borg cubes soloing), but my Science toon has much more powerful control powers at her disposal.

I bow to your Shatner-ness Wanna help me finally get to Captain tonight? I'm at Comm 8.5.

Just for you guys:
