Has anyone else failed The Cure Found (Space) in LESS THAN 3 MINUTES? This is honestly the lowest low for me, I mean I really did not know it was possible to TRIBBLE up so badly. To bring this into perspective, we had already destroyed the right cube and I had come back and cleared out the attackers from the left cube, and all of a sudden, MISSION FAILURE!
I am not exaggerating, I got back to sector space and saw 56 minutes on my cool down (after using evasive maneuvers to reach safe distance, exiting the failed mission, and reloading sector space). This blows my mind, I am still confused as to how this was blown so fast.

That said, I think your's is a record. You can pick up your wall trophy from the Admirals Office. It's right beside the 'Trigger Line Ignorance' award.
Kang doesn't last long against raptors while she can take a few BoP hits.
Killing the first Cube as fast as you did actually accelerated the loss ironically.

It's this. It's best to kill all three cubes at once.
This has to be it, I know nothing hit poor Kang from the right or left because I killed them.
No worries, if I wasn't still scratching my head I would be laughing about it. A new record for me for sure.
Oh well, over all it was a very good night, I had fun, I blew stuff up. I even laughed, after the confusion wore off.
Venni Vetti WTFFF!!!!!
Point is, you need to keep the Kang alive... and the only person who can be trusted is you.

That said, I had groups where I endet up being THE ONLY ONE attacking the cubes while 4 people defended the Kang and STILL it got destroyed...
I think this is not a bug but a bad luck - I'm pugging all the time so I think teammates were not up to the task.
Punished the group because one other pug member made a snide remark about his rainbow build.
Good players in CSE allways keep a eye on kang if there dont high chance of mission fail. Sorry but i have no sympathy for the op.
PUGging both Into the Hive and The Big Dig have been far more frustrating for me in the past than the cure ever was.
Though I guess the worst would still be PUGging the old Crystaline Entity. Yeah, I was bored. But wow, it was hit or miss and usually a miss.
Seeing 4 Retrofit/Fleet Defiants unleashing hell was amusing.
I was the odd man out of the group with a Fleet Patrol Escort.

Oh yeah, it's called a bad pug group.

If you can't even do that, go back to normals. Or stop being bad/pugging.
This. Has been ages since the trio pop was the only viable CSE tactic given how much DPS even my fleet nova can pump out nowadays, but seen far too many optionals fail because either only one guy floats on defense and gets overwhelmed while the rest go right/left, or a floater focuses too much on clearing out probes in the quiet times and doesn't have enough time to get back to a good position to keep his approach to the kang done fast enough.

that appens because every player (included the ones thinking they do well), immediatelly start to engage borgs withount trying to coordinate.
There are several actions you can take to avoid mission fail, ex.:
1) take care of the kang and tell your teammates you will defend it so they can engage the stations...
2) before starting, watch where your temmates are going, then choose what to do.
3) always remember to have a look at the kang and the other stations.
Just yesterday evening one temmates immediatelly stated complaining about what players were doing in a CSE... He was right, but complaining (and then leaving the map after 2 minutes) is not the way... Tell what you need, try to coordinate, go where players need your help...
Result? He left, but we completed the mission, optional included
Playing STO spamming FAW is like playing chess using always the computer's suggested moves
the problem is everyone wants to do their own thing in CSE and you will get the cold shoulder looking for help from some. just do what you can and if it fails then it fails.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Poetic justice, love when this happens.
They all blamed me for the it because I soloed the 1st probes and cube.
Well, TBH, you single-handedly triggered the wave of ships that damaged the Kang. Was anyone on your team ready for that? If not, why didn't you go take the wave out?
Sounds like you're missing the overall point that Communication Is Key.
Wait... ALL FOUR were protecting the Kang?!? Either they were all equipped with Nerf Guns or you thought they were protecting the Kang because you told them "You stay here, I'll go blow stuff up." Did you look at the map to see they were, in fact, in place when you released the hounds by blowing the cube?
They were all sitting right on top of the kang, taking out the BoPs, everytime I looked back so they should be ready for the raptors.
Sitting "right on top of" the Kang is the best way to let it explode. The way to protect the Kang is to intercept the Raptors from beyond 10km.
