I can confirm that this indeed take place, because i was one of the 10
I was in a miranda, U.S.S, Steve Barkin, it was loads of fun, we all died countless times and rammed the CE several times too. It was good team work all around.
So, too all those that may be saying CE is too hard in PUGs who have tier 5 ships and above, i have one thing tk say
I do hope Cryptic doesn't kneejerk and buff the CE into the high heavens.
That's not the point we're trying to make, Devs! We're just trying to pull a stunt like we usually do!
I'd like to see more of a challenge rather than the same pew pew pew. Halfway through the event, make some of us head to evacuate colonists from the planet while the dps boats protect us from the shards, as another group goes to reconfigure satellites to help destroy the CE or something.
All this boring spacebar bashing content makes me think that the devs and content designers have no imagination and are really boring people irl. *my two ec*
(Disclaimer: My views and opinions about the content in this game are my own and do not represent the views and opinions of my fellow fleet members, they're pretty cool. I'm just an ******* who finds all content in this game to be a little too "dumbed down" and not as challenging as other MMOs, not everything has to be a DPS race, make us think).
Yeah we were using high-range VA / Rep gear but of course had the limited Boff seating and weapons placings of the Tier 1 ships - which is why it took some coordination and 40 mins!!!
Not bad DPS as well really for 3 weapons point ships - just goes to show how good that VA / Rep system gear can be! Worth the grind if you haven't gotten there yet!!!
Congratz, guys! I haven't even gotten to play CE yet. Nice to see some people are pushing the envelope a little. Challenges can be fun.
STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

Also, the T1 Ships don't have the 2x Damage/Healing/etc modifier of the T5 ships.
Dusting off the tier 1 ships for a fleet event is, as bran said, a blast!
Congrats on accomplishing something wicked fun!
As to the challenge of the CE event, I think its pretty much fine. If ships are getting popped left and right then it just becomes a respawn yawnfest.
And I will say one more thing. I have never had so much healing given to me in pugs. That in itself makes the event worth-wild to me. By making crosshealing part of the reward the game is teaching a very valuable mechanic.
Is it just me or do the T1 ships not get the proper space-stat bonuses? In particular shield systems and SIF. Or is the UI just lying to me (a very real possibility).

Salute to Ausmonauts!
Nice to see my Asia/Oceanic brethren to such an ambitious thing!
Interested in Role Playing? Join the 12th Fleet Science division!
from what I can see in the pics on your site, there are 3 mirandas, 1 NX, 3 oberths, 2 steamrunners and 1 tos connie. All running VA gear yes?
Either way, this is quite lol worthy!
Shuttles next? :P
Which explains the lack of a video, btw. I really don't think you guys want in on the yawn fest.

Should really demonstrate that missions/events like this need an elite mode NOW and NOT the next time they'll be around end of the year or so...

No 100% TOS guys. Still I'm sure quite difficult in its own way.
Great vid! :cool:
Looking forward to seeing more insanity. Might even get the fleet I'm in to do one for teh lulz. Time to dust off that TOS Connie!
