I have a better question: Why are you pugging No Win? Just by doing that, you are already doomed. As far as I know, no PUG has ever beaten No Win. And 4 No Win Elites and a random victim picked as a spectator do not count.
Given that you have already lost, it makes perfect sense to do nothing. After all, you weren't going to win anyway.

We don't want what the Feds have. We want the equivalent. We want fairer treatment. Concern, desire, greed to some extent, and passionate belief that the enough people would buy KDF items to make it worth Cryptic's while.
Lots of complaints of AFKers in Mine Trap. I see players in zone chat occasionally say they have at least 1 afk on their team. A couple days ago I had 2 on my team. When it came time to escort the civilians to the shuttles they went afk and just stood there.
About 3 weeks before that, I did Azure Nebula Rescue and had a player in a Defiant fly way down at the beginning, cloaked his ship, and sat there the whole time.
And of course all the threads on the forums about the AFK problem. I really wish Cryptic would do something to discourage it. Getting sick of it myself. I love Mine Trap be not very many people seem to do it anymore because of all the AFKers.
Edit: I wouldn't say there is any legitimate reason for players to AFK an ENTIRE event. Especially when you have 2 or more players doing it at the same time in the same event. What are the odds they all have irritable bowel syndrome?

I generally stay away from Mine Trap unless I need the Romulan Marks badly. Starbase Fleet Defense is a bigger source of fleet marks, if that's what you're looking to get.

Yeah, in that case good luck with farming from Mine Trap.

Do I get an excuse for AFKing when my Toshiba overheats? Cause I've had it happen several times during STFs and Borg sector attacks.

I'd say so. It's beyond your direct control.

Agreed. If you are solo pugging NWS you have all ready failed; so why bother? NWS is ALL about team co-ordination with proper buff timing, warhead management, and crowd control--too many people think its about dps when it's really not. But what do I know. . . .
I was going to suggest that, but I wasn't sure if it was appropriate enough to post.
And if you're the very rare female player on STO, than we can tack on the unexpected but welcomed session of... notapwefan, you say it for me. I think you can get away with it better than I can.

It doesn't matter, if you need to be afk that badly the penalty won't exactly be at the forefront of your mind.

I just have to say.....
That was brilliant!
