Please get the old mine trap back as it was in the beginning. You can make it harder, but not in the way as it is now. It is mindless shooting festival (especially the house protection part and the escort part), neither with much atmosphere nor is it fun to play.
GIVE US THE TYPHOON! Enough said...

1. Make people respawn in there assigned zone, not on the other side of the map like they do now.
2. Something to remind people who refuse to read the briefing what zone they are supposed to be in, maybe a warning message that they have been out of there zone for 30 seconds, or maybe an electric shock sent through there keyboard. Apparently the message at the beginning and my yelling at them to get back to there damn zone isn't enough as most teams end up scattered all over the place.

4/5 times I end up with only 3 people staying in the assigned zone, no matter how much I plead with them to stay.
Wish this was a 5 man mission or something, because this cluster f**k 20 man mission just sucks.
This mission is probably nice for fleets with 200+ members that can get teams of 20 together. Such teams would be very well organized and they would ideally be capable of working together as a team.

Mine Trap, in its origional conception reminded me so very much of one of my favorite sci-fi movies, Aliens. We need to be able to dispatch vampires quickly during the building defense phase or else a lot of the hectic enjoyment will be lost.
1) Cut back on the Vampire Spawns so they aren't Zerging
2) Have a counter so you don't get constantly being sucked on.
3) Players NEED to know which area they are assigned to.
4) Give clearer directions, like in the Escape part, which direction for that team to go.
I could live with the large number of NPCs if they were easier to kill, the unshielded NPCs right now are pretty much perfect IMO but the Alpha's and, to a lesser extent, Beta's are a bit much during the defence stage: with my Tac I can just about deal with them and protect my building but my Sci or Engineer just spends too much time trying to burn them down so the building starts taking damage. This is made even worse because the longer you're fighting them the more chance you have of being hit with the hold's they like to use (I wish Willpower actually did something against the holds, the difference seems to be little between no points and 6 right now against both the Vampire and Tholian holds).
It's right there in bright green when they first spawn in, they just aren't reading the instructions. This side of preventing them from from closing the dialogue popup for a few seconds to make it more likely they'll read it I don't think Cryptic can do much to cover for other people's stupid.
They could put the district you protect on the Mission Screen. They could highlight the area on the map where you protect and later point to the proper direction your team has to go in escorting the Miners to the shuttlecraft.
But the way it is now, the majority of people have no clue what is going on.
There are already instructions, they just aren't reading them.
If they don't know what they're doing after a couple of attempts and reading the instructions then all the markers on the map aren't going to help them. Sometimes, the problem's with the idiot behind the keyboard and not how many markers are on the map.
Doesn't hurt for Cryptic to add some indicators to make it fun.
