I'm sure your DPS is great, but as Kahless said, "a petaQ with high system mastery is still a petaQ." (Well, he should have said it...!)

Mistakenly started upgraded my core beam array so daren't try the space ones until it's finished.
You get bonus marks for completing the optional, but if you fail the optional you fail the mission.
Sane ?

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
On the topic of the thread:
Borg Disco Advanced is absolutely fine now, I would say that the rest of the queues should be okay.
but I hate Infected

NPCs need to get more abilities and their health needs to be cut in half. When I go into an STF I want to be genuinely challenged by combat. What we have right now is a fish in the barrel shootout against enemies that can't kill players; but can take extremely high amounts of damage. There's no fun because there is no challenge and enemies are tedious to fight against in Space. Right now Ground doesn't have any problems at all in terms of balance.

yesterday I played only ISA, KASA and CSA... I haven't played elite because I can't find them in the queues (are them avaible?).
IMHO only CSA need some tuning: bops are still to much resistent, mostly if compared to raptors and negh'vars. I do not remember if nanite generators were still too weak since I was defending the kang and my teammates did not give me the time to try :rolleyes:
ISN, KASN and CSN are so easy you can destroy borg ships just launching them dirty socks out of the window! :eek: :eek: :eek:
Not good to learn how to play advanced!!!!

They seem fine to me. There may be some anomalies, or you may gt the worst group known to man but if a half decent team turn up you will be fine. they are a little tougher than before but nothing too serious.
...this explains why my T5-U Fleet Nebula wasn't drawing any complaints in the ISA pug I was in last night, heh!
Despite it's dps(-still- looking to crack 4k), it's loaded for bear in the crowd control department, as well as being a defensive beast(Mk XIII Dyson space set and every available personal/space trait geared for defense/evasion)...we popped the left generators 1st within a few seconds of each other, and as soon as the spheres spawned from the gateway, I dropped everything and went after them, using everything I had to keep them occupied and/or strip potential buffs...Grav Well III, Graviton Pulse Generator, Gravimetric Photon Torp, Vaad Tricobalt Cluster Torp, Aceton Assimilator, Proton Barrage, Tractor Beam Repulsors....
Was more than enough for the left transformer to go down, but my own skidplate needed saving once the spheres took offense to me having delayed them!
The right transformer was a little trickier; my ability combo timing was a bit off, and one or 2 spheres nearly got through, only being kept off by a desperation TBR(held in reserve for just a scenario)...once that was done, the gateway went down next, and the tac cube was last....
Finished with just under a minute to spare, and the team was feeling pretty good about it!
Yikes. You spent a lot more energy on him than I would have, and sounds like you kept your temper, too. Kudos.

Look at it as a compliment. The borg do not adapt to water, so eventually you would be more useful than him.
Heh, I -admit- to having lousy dps(the best this ship's setup can put out right now is -maybe- 3,500)...I also don't CARE that I have lousy dps...given that I'm hopelessly unemployed and only play 2-4 hours a day at present, I'm aware that I'll never be able to get up to that level anytime soon...so I focus on what I -can- do...which is set those mobs up so someone -else- can knock 'em all down with a minimum of fuss!
One'a these days, Reyan01, we need to organize an all Sci-ship IS-Advanced or something, just to see what happens...good idea??
One thing to keep in mind is that you should never play a given way because someone else wants it. You play as you like (just as you said you do). The sooner people understand this, the sooner they can start having fun, which is why a game exists.
The post patch CGA was a channel organized run. The team just slayed the Borg. There was really no challenge. The pre-patch CGA was an organized channel run and we had a little difficulty but not a lot of challenge. We ran through that also.The new push back mechanic was interesting.
Post patch CSA was a pug. There was no communication, people just came rolled over the AI and left. The lack of communication was sort of sad. BoP's actually swarmed Kang, and we really should have lost that match; but Kang still seemed buffed. The pre-patch run was channel organized. It was hard, I was on my toes the entire time.
I think CGA was fine before the patch. I think CSA AI hitpoints and shield points could stand for a buffing.
I love the Cure's so I run them often. I'm a torpedo boat Sci so I bring some dps but full Aux to the fight. I have felt that the buffed shield and hit points of NPC's in DR have neutered many of my full Aux sci abilities, with exceptions being GW, Trac. Beam, HE and PH.
Exactly...I just roll with it and do my thing....
CCA was the same way -- the Tholians took longer to down, the entity itself shattered effortlessly like the old elite. Methinks there might've been too much nerfing done to this one.
Ground advanced feels no harder than the old elite. Even ground elite feels no harder than the old elite.
The only problem advanced difficulty STFs had were the returning casual players, who go off on their own and TRIBBLE up the whole thing.
Just now I was in an 4-man team ISA. Even though we were down a player, everything was proceeding fine and on time. Then an idiot decides to kirk-it and blow up a nanite generator on the otherside.
I'll say it again, the problem wasn't that we were a man down or had insufficient DPS, it's that another player went and screwed it up.

I really feel that they need to seriously look at these mission by mission and see which are too difficult to complete. It's unfair to completely shut the average player off from the VR mats and processors. Remember this is advanced only - the middle level.

Just remove the fail off the "notoptional".
I rebuild my temporal vessel to play as torpedo boat and crowd control ship... actually I can reach up to 15k dps and still have to upgrade several weapons/console and unlock most of specialization abilities..

I can answer for myself, others may have a similar experience. After the patch I decided to try ISA with my main. First group easy - more or less as the old Elites. Team goes left; someone pops a generator, then the other three go pop as well. Team does not have the DPS for the transformer, nor the nanite spheres. Ten seconds after that, mission failed, one hour cooldown.
Tremendous fun......
Staying out of the queues again.
I'm starting to think I should try a torp boat setup, myself...; the beams I do have aren't doing much, quite likely as I rarely, if ever, have my weapons setting higher than 50(everything is divided between Shields and Aux)...I've never paid much attention to the power requirements for torps...could be worth looking into....
