Just got the efficient swarmer exterminator accolade on my under-geared sci (jem'hadar Mk XI ground set) using the shard of possibilities and ARMING DOCTOR COOPER! :eek:
That guy can shoot!
Maybe arming him is the key to it?
Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.
Clould some here please explain me how I can go to the swarmer room for the "Efficient Swarmer Exterminator"?
I will always go to the room with the sun window.
Just random choice I think. My main got the sun-room all 3 runs too. You could replay and try choosing different dialog options just in case Cryptic has some switch in there they aren't telling us about.

I've run the mission several times (3 times on 5 alts thus far), and I do not know if this is just a coincidence or not, but:
Whenever I select at least one of:
-- Try to hail my ship after discovering the hull breech
-- Tell Dr. Cooper we'll leave him with the Voth if he doesn't don an EV suit
I ALWAYS get the solar room, and I NEVER get it any other way.
In replays, I normally select the top item on all other dialog choices to power my way through. This might influence my ability to spawn the solar room with those two dialogs.
Though I have no idea what decides the less important random event (Voth sniper or battle armor).
Since arming him, I've gotten the sun room on three toons. So getting a room really does appear to be random.
HOWEVER, when I do get the swarmer/console room, having Dr. Cooper (who sounds more and more like Mort from Family Guy everytime I hear him) does seem to make a difference. Accolade now complete on 3 of 7 toons arming him.
I actually like that it's random. It gives replay a sense of accomplishment when you finally DO get everything.

Didnt the Enterprise fly into the sun at least once before during the show?
Yes: The Enterprise-D (under acting Captain Beverly Crusher) used metaphasic shielding modifications to defeat a Borg attacker in a star's corona during ST:TNG's "Descent, Part II".
Is there any way to influence whether you'll be sent into the swarmer or sunscreen room after re-boarding the station? Just asking because one of my chars has been sent into the swarmer room 5 (!) times in a row now, denying me the Shadow Hugger accolade. And I always chose a different approach with speech options, had the Voth assassin and the Voth battle mech, used all 3 options when fighting the Voth - no joy.
And I am pretty much annoyed at the thought of having to play that mission again ... 23 times is more than enough.

None that I know of.
Totally random.
If you get sent to the wrong room, though, you can always exit, drop the mission, and try again to save yourself a little time.

It's either random or flagged based on your dialogue choices. I am of the opinion it is based on your choices.
Try NOT being gun ho about this mission or ask about Cloak options, be mean and not nice to cooper, accuse him of being a spy. I tend to get the sun room that way...
oh yeah also be sure to kill the last swarmer from the left side, the side that leads to the sun room. I doubt how/order you kill the swarmers have anything to do with which door opens, but it doesnt hurt.
As for arming cooper or not... I usually tell Tuvoc to watch/help cooper out. But from what I understand, if armed cooper will shoot swarmers too. So if you want the swarmer room, best to arm him.

I have tried to arm the doctor, but this hasn't an effect.
When it ist realy random, than it is very dump.
Until now I have played this Mission 7 times and I was only one time in the swarmer room.
So you need to play this Mission x-times to get maybe to this room and than it is not sure to defeat the swarmer within one minute.
Vey big fail to this case.

I got it on one toon, and not on another, even when that one also completed in well-under 60 seconds. That one seems to be very hit-or-miss.
