once i have upgaded my reman set to 12 i will go back more often to IGE for more torture. i must be a masochisist. cure space in PUGs would also indicate i must need torment and abuse.
We should run through IGE with you a few times. Once you get used to it, it becomes very easy. In fact, last night, me, Yuri, and Noraal did a PUG through ‘normal’ Infected (Both Yuri and Noraal needed the accolade for completing the optional objectives). Wow.. so easy. We basically 3-man it. The 2 pugs were dying/respawing constantly, and crossing the trigger lines. But we did it despite that. We even had 1 team wipe because they crossed the trigger line before any of the mobs were killed. Half way through, we realized that we were better off not rezzing the pugs. We just let them wait on respawn timer. We even locked them out of the mini-boss room, and killed Manus with just the 3 of us. Of course they die in Rebecca room, and respawn outside. It was actually better that way. She went down easy with just us 3. Got the optional completed too. Afterwards, its was like… LOL – really?
Well, i haven’t done no-win scenario that many times, but typically we get to round 5. Then it becomes a bit ridiculous. Those bio-neural warheads basically kill the ship with one or two hits. And you can’t kill the platforms either. All you can do is take them offline temporarily.
Greetings, and thanks for applying.
I’ve sent you a fleet invite which you should receive the next time you log in. In the meantime, here is a thread with some more information, including how to join the private fleet chat.

Greetings, and thanks for applying to the 44th.
I’ve already sent you a fleet invite as well as a friend request. The fleet invite should pop up the next time you log in. The friend invite will be listed in your friend’s window.
You will find more information about the fleet in this thread, including how to join the private fleet channel:
http://startrek.44thfleet.com/forum/index.php?f=12&t=30&rb_v=viewtopicIf you have any questions, feel free to ask. If you are looking for our starbase, it is located in Eti Eridani sector. But you can access the projects and such through the fleet button at the bottom of the minimap.
Welcome aboard and see you online.
Saw you in game, and sent you an invite. However, you weren’t responding to messages or in the fleet chat. Are you having issues with your chat box? Communication is at the crux of being in a fleet. Should really be sorted out ASAP. Let me know what I can do to help.
nerf: To make worse or weaken, usually in the context of weakening something in order to balance out a game.
meh: Indifference; to be used when one simply does not care.
Greetings, and thanks for applying.
I sent you a fleet invite. (Actually, I sent you a tell but you were running Infected so it may have been lost in the loot chat). But yeah, you should get it the next time you log in. In the meantime, see this thread about more info on the fleet,including how to join the private fleet channel.

Yeah you guys should def get TeanSpeak up and running then run STF’s with us, that way we can just talk you through the elite STF’s. Also you was right about the 10% thing, its an elite thing. Normal STF’s are really easier as you cant really fail normal’s. But remeber thats what were all here for, if u get in trouble or need any advice just ask either on here or in game via the fleet chat or even better using Team Speak.
what do i need to do to use this teamspeak? i talk to people all the time on my pc without using anything since it has a built in speaker and mike. i also have headphones with a mic so my wife does not have to listen to the borg rant and rave endlessly.
do i need software or what??
Free download is here (make sure you pick the right one for your system):
http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloadsAddress is in the fleet tactics forum.
Well, I got booted from the que. So I think it’s crashed. Pretty much happens with every new season update. I can’t even connect to login server anymore.
Guess I’ll try again later.

Yeah you will definitively find that doing the elite public queue events that normally you wont achieve all the objectives, Ive come to accept this now as the norm. So when i manage to come online when the others are on its a relief to play as a fleet. Then the elites just glide along without any hassle, every one knows what they are doing & nearly everyone is on TS so communication is not an issue. The prototypes then start rolling in. The grounds are a different story as we don’t always hit the objectives but we always finish the mission. It shows you just how much more difficult ground missions are compared to space missions, but the challenge is half the fun.
Actually, ground STFs are not that hard once you know what to do. I’m sure space feels easier, but it’s probably most likely due to having run them so many more times than the ground. Last night’s IGE was extremely unusual. It’s the first time I ever seen Noraal fall into the goop, and we can almost run it in our sleep. Meh, we all have days like that.
I will say that the optional on IGE is the hardest to get. A single screw up, and it’s usually blown. That’s why it’s important to know the trigger lines, and not cross them until it’s time. Once you cross, you have 15 seconds to kill the workers that are assimilating the Starfleet guys. If you haven’t cleared enough of the room beforehand, you are either going run out of time, or you’re going to run in to the room and get team wiped.
The other optionals are easy. Khitomer ground, with a good team is a 15-20 min run. Cure ground, easy optional as well. Armek can be a pain sometimes, but everything up until then is piece of cake with a good team.
The frustration of PUGs is the main reason that I wrote this http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=282071 some time ago. And that’s when doing ‘normal’ versions. Elite? don’t get me started.
I’m thinking of posting a preparation thread here on our boards on the topic of ground STFs. Seems that most in the fleet know what to do in space STFs, and are reasonably geared. Ground, however, not as universal. Might try if I have some time today.

Yeah i found it thanks anyway. The omega mkxi costume is crap anyway!
Yeah, there’s a reason I keep grinding those ground STFs.
