hey.normally I try to figure out hard game play on my own,but this has me pissed off. In the delta quadrant mission [level 56] "aliances" I'm at the prybyl system trying to get the hierarchy to join up when I get stuck trying to defeat the holographic ship. [eight times killed]I'm flying a fleet HEC with mostly purple Mk XII gear. can someone give me some advice how to kill this thing,lol. I even tried using the nimbus distress call and fleet support III and no dice.:confused:

    It's bugged. You just need to pound on it for ever. It has almost a million hp.

    What is your primary build? I ran that mission with both this character and this character. Both times, I carved through that holographic ship with no problems whatsoever.
    I completed a 2-man CSE, ISE, and KASE, Optionals included. And I soloed Winter Invasion.
    My Ship Builds: USS Conqueror, HMS Victorious, HMS Concord, ISS Queen Elizabeth, Black Widow III

    That. Mission. Sucks.

    The Voth Bulwark is an HP sponge.

    I play all content on Advanced but for that stupid thing, I moved to Normal just so I had a chance. This was before I optimized my build a little bit but still.

    All I can say is, play on Normal (though supposedly they nerfed the HP a bit in Advanced), make sure your build is "Delta Quadrant" ready (which means having some more DPS) or ask for help in the sector. I usually help people who send out "distress signals" like that :)

    I hate that mission with extreme prejudice.

    Do you have a hangar? If yes, great – let them do the brunt of the work. If not, best of luck.

    As you pound at it, The Doctor tells you it is adjusting to your attacks…. After a brief period of time the hull life will drop to 20%. Use whatever tactics you can to get those shields down and STAY BROADSIDE/AFT. Do not get caught in the path of its bow. Run circles around it, drop mines, fling off torpedoes and don’t be afraid to wander out of the 10K range to heal… but be warned: if it is left alone for too long (which is not long a tall) the hull will re-heal to a full 100%

    So get it to the point the hull goes down to 20%, call in your fleet support, etc. and get out of the way to keep your hull HP up, coming in every so often to assist your support and ping that thing with as many debuffs as you have.

    After about 20-30 minutes, if done correctly, the ship will die.

    Seriously, good luck.

    full carriers have few problems with it. i took him down fairly easily with a Recluse and with a Jemnaught with 2 flights of scorpions. yeah the thing kills the scorps pretty fast but if you stand off they can usualyy get the HYT plasmas loose before they die.

    Looks like everyone missed reading the dialog. Just spam boff powers, doesn't matter which ones. Eventually the doctor kills the ship for you. The heirarchy and the doctor both tell you they don't care about your guns they are testing your officers abilities.

    Now if its NOT dying, or if it has a variant of the vaadwar artillery ship bug where an elite version shows up in normal, that's different and you should file a bug report.

    It was pretty easy with my c-store atrox with maco gear, took me couple of minutes. But a pain and not doable with the andorian escorts

    Yes, you do spam boff powers and the Doctor lowers it to 20% for you but that's it. He does NOT kill it for you. And, if you die after it hits 20%, you get to start all over with it at 100% and the Doctor won't help you again.

    At least, this was my experience with it. Maybe they have patched it since I did it.

    Odd. I played all storyline missions on Elite. And I don't recall any hard to kill ship. Not ingame right now, but wasn't that the mission that gives your Mr. Potato-head?! (Aka the Sci Malon)

    Possibly he does a fixed damage to it? I just know both times I got his pop up it about helping it died.

    Yeah maybe. Both times I did it, he always set it to 20%. At least that's my memory of it but I'm old, my memory aint what it used to be :)

    It does make sense about the fixed damage though.

    If that's true, then you need to save spamming your Boff powers until you get it down enough that he can just kill it for you. At least that's what I'd recommend.

    I know I killed that ship fairly easily in normal, *but* that was weeks ago. Bug forum mentions some sort of bug involving the artillary ships loading at 1m HP "elite"

    This did not occur apparently when *I* played the mission, but the bug is more recent

    This was one frustrating mission ever. I tried 6 times to kill it.. I didn't do enough DPs to break him. He was hitting me with 11k dam per shot... once I died too... his HP returned full.. After that I had no chance... Thanks to other players who heard my call. With there help I was able todo it. However the mission bugged.. and I had to redo it a third time.. I reset it first time when I made the team.. somehow 2 of us 4 had it bug and it showed not completed once we warped out.. on the third time 2 man team it worked finally...

    I should be happy that this one is over... but man.. I don't ever want todo this again.. My gear was ok.. Didn't have a the special uber purple stuff. but my fit is purple... I don't know if its a bug or if intended to force you to buy better ships...

    I can say delta missions are straining my mirror star cruiser... She' can't handle it jim. :D

    I don't have enough EC to buy all the new bling bling and I don't have anything unlocked yet.. so as a new player this one bites.
