Can we get a Crystalline Catastrophe Replay please?

Or the Mirror event?
With EX2 still 2 Months away, this may help some players to "regain some motivation" (since the EX 2 announcement i have a few friends in my list who basicially stopped playing and only log in once per day for 5 minutes... to start the crafting missions).
It's also a nice incentive to stock up on fleetcredits, finish the last reputations (if neccessary) and ... well... gather some dilithium for the things to come, all at the same time.

    I would heartily second this idea.

    This, or perhaps a featured mission replay with lobi, like we had once before.

    I started a toon not too long ago and it needs to level up in all rep ranks and get all those storyline rewards like the breen/JH boffs, special rewards, and so forth.

    I think we will see the mirror event instead. Its much more timegated then CCE-E, and much more annyoing. So perfect for a event.

    I'd go for a CCE repeat. I have a couple of characters that have been sitting one or two shards from completion for a year-ish.

    if they fix how mirror invasion works, instead of that nonsense herp derp of actions they came up with to push the class trinity roles nonsense.

    herpy derpy: "close rifts, sci ships does dis fastorz".
    herpy derpy: "divert power from relays, kroozor do thus faztorz"

    except that was pretty much nonsense,
    because cruiser where too gorram slow to do anything quickly, and got interrupted before succeeding in anything, and typically couldnt kill anything fast enough to catch a break.
    and sci ships couldnt kill anything to close rifts without getting interrupted either.

    functional tactics where, have a cruiser/sci fly to the target, faw/aoe everything while an escort used its agility to close the rift or start a transfer. did the incentivisation encourage this?
    no, the incentivisation encourages sit there and do nothing because the instructions where completely misconceived in relation to the game mechanics.
    The idea was teamwork. One person brings the DPS to distract/kill the mirror ships, and the other person does the interact.

    Unless you're Romulan, don't go anywhere solo in that event.

    And Romulans can only do it via one of their singularity powers.

    Whenever I flew my Gal-X I'd just FaW to aggro everything in range... granted I did sometimes end up overwhelmed by sheer numbers, but the plan was to keep the enemies distracted while the other players did interacts.

    Agreed!

    As someone who primarily plays a Sci character, and uses a Sci ship I found it all very annoying. All too often the scenario went like this:

    Ensign RageQuit: OMG, you're Science - CLOSE THE RIFTS

    Me: Easier said than done when there are two Dreadnoughts shooting at me

    Ensign RageQuit: Noob *flies over, starts shooting at one of the Dreadnoughts.... subsequently explodes*

    Ensign RageQuit: This team sucks (warps out upon respawn).

    Yeah - it was barely worth the hastle.

    Well, i think i met Ensign RageQuit two or three times during the last Mirror event.
    (Now we just need a feature that prevents grouping with people from our ignore list)

    All praise Valenn1, the One Who Tamed the Cryptic Beast!



    Dear Valenn1, please can you ask the dev team for a pony, too?

    In reality everyone bring dps kills everything in seconds then close the rifts.

    While it is nice to see the replay in action, I wish a little advance notice was given. I have a relatively fresh toon that just turned lvl 30 last night. I can't get him in on this because he's not lvl 50. If I had some kind of advance notice I might have marathoned him to 50 in a single session.

    I still have other toons that I'm doing things with and grinding with, so I have to prioritize who gets what portion of my attention. I might have given it more if I'd known this was coming.
