Ker'rat is the only reason I kept on playing as long as I did once I hit level cap.
It's still a decent place to farm stuff, and other players from enemy factions just makes it more interesting. And of course local chat never fails to deliver, especially on those rare occasions when everyone has a sense of humour, some degree of sportsmanship and doesn't take their imaginary space pixels too seriously.
Like one time my Engineer main announced in local 'once more unto the breach' and charged in blind to a swarm of KDF, pretty much every other Fed jumped in after me and a massive brawl kicked off that lasted right until the map reset.
Or that other time me and my opponent used ramming speed at the same time and timed the collision perfectly.
Kerr'at is just a waste of time. Almost all the times i entered for the past 2 months i was alone xD. Be lucky if you get into a group of 3 or 4. And, be careful, if you are alone, because you can be fighting a borg sphere (i did that sometimes when i was bored waiting for someone to join, with no results) and be surprised by a player klingon enemy ship that suddenly appeared in your rear , and of course he destroyed you in seconds cuz u were already damaged by the borg sphere. This happened to me A LOT of times. Sometimes is not so bad, cuz i manage to recover myself, turn around and fight the klingon ship, but im wondering why the spawn spots need to appear always near you??? is that intended?? Anyways, i think the kerrat zone must be redesigned, cuz its useless most of the times. Dont know why people never join it.
Anyways, if you are lucky to enter the map with a group of 4 or 5 players, good, if not, just leave inmediately.
It's FAR from a waste to do it alone. That means you get all of the loot drops! You can easily complete the mission by yourself. I do it all the time, often in an instance full of other players because everyone else is more concerned with ganking each other and talking trash in zone chat.

That was not my expereince over the same time period.

Numbers always help.

Good advice there. It is also wise to not allow yourself to get very damaged in attacking the borg in Ker'rat. Withdraw. Spread them out. Recharge and reengage. And always keep an eye and ear out for popping buffs and decloaking ships.

Isn't it great?

Not sure what you mean there.

I like it pretty much the way it is. eta: Although I'd up the population limit per instance to at least 40 players. /eta

am i the only person who read this blog and thought
" Is this the same Ker'rat i remember?
The Ker'rat where both KDF and fed players spawn literally on top of each other where it turns into a mass clusterF where people spawn in and pretty much die to other folks exploding from the guys who managed to setup camp spawn positions and having tiny instance sizes while having low levels in with max levels with either one faction fill up all the instance slots while the other faction is vastly outnumbered and unable to bring in friends?

Just because you can't hang, doesn't mean it's "broken."
Ker'rat is not a n00b-safe playpen to build your self-esteem, and I don't want to see it become one.
So... when did Drozna Station become a PvEvP zone.
And is that to imply that those people who spend a lot of time in Ker'rat are trolls? That would not be very nice.

Good times.
Your self esteem should never be related to "performance" in a video game in the first place.

Depends on how you want to spend your time.

Where's the fun in that?

List of expected changes to make Kerrat more viable... and not a boring cloak wait game with lopsided side matches....
