Since ftp has arrived i wish the devs would implement some kind of system where you cant do elite STF`s when under geared for them.
It is really frustrating to when idiots do them in green and blue equipment and then see the whole team fail and get an 1 hour debuff.
I dont normally rant about things like this but i have had 4 runs today like this and with the extra chips on kitomer accord elite today its annoying and losing out to these idiots.:mad:
Ok rant mode off back to chillin out

Don't think that gear quality is a good measure of success. I know that I could do any elite STF with mk 10 blue equipment and pull my own weight so as to make an effective contribution to the team. Furthermore, how do you know what equipment they're using? They could be bad players with awesome gear that they bought off the dilithium store.
Lastly, take a look through the link in my signature and share it with your team members before doing the mission, its got some good strategic tips and should be helpful in getting the missions accomplished quickly.
Heh, thread winner. /|\
I am sure that Cryptic doesnt want to get into babysitting and if you dont want to do a STF with someone you dont know, then dont do them with someone you dont know. Simple!
they will not do anything about this issue I have tried and tried to plea with doing something about this key issue the crew who does STF's are plane and simple incompotent to act
otherwise a fail safe would be in place to make newbs do normal for a time to get right purple stuff and a STF set before doing elite
Gozer please enlighten me on why you are doing nothing to fixe set issue you aare the guru o Czar of the STF's correct is something going to be done about the rude disrespectful behavior and the kick team issue
Those two ships, as they are right now, are absolute garbage, especially in STFs... It hurts more that most who fly them have NO idea how to set them up or fly them to begin with.
lol too funny
But I agree on several points. Joining the public queue, you are effectively signing an "At your own risk" agreement for that mission. Get with a fleet, join one of the channels devoted to the cause (Or if you think you have what it takes, apply to the STFRaiders [http://www.stfraiders.com/forum/]), or just quit crying and take the public queues for what they are, a random chance at success or fail. You can try and place blame on gear, on what somebody captains (All you anti-cruiser nutcases), or on the player themself.
Thing is, yes, not a perfect system by any means, but the fact you apparently aren't proactively seeking a way to quit utilizing the public queue for elite STFs and expecting every match to be if you were running with a pre-made team, you're the only one to blame.
its player skill that wins through on stf's.
I am already in a fleet with some really good freinds and they only started playing when ftp came along and w are gearing them up so we can run team ones. I was just frustrated when i started this thread i have calmed down now and all is good in the world again
Then consider them raaaaaaaaaare friends. I have yet to see a single person flying one of those flying bricks manage to hold their own in an STF.
Their +1 Versions may be good but their current versions are... Just a model. They are good for looking at and that is about it.
