borg disconnected

cnidaria22

the STO tutorial for borg disconnected I watched shows all the borg ships being destroyed first then rescue of the disconnected ships. easiest way to do this is to concentrate on two zones and havre one person be a floater in between. middle always, then right and left. new ships won't appear until after the first round of borg ships are destroyed and the disconnected ships are either re-assimilitated or rescued first.

A Quick and Basic Guide to Borg Disconnected

Borg Disconnected is one of the new STFs that will be arriving with Delta Rising.

Most of you would have already seen a couple of videos of it or seen the live stream so might have some idea about it.

Here are some tips:

* There are 3 spawn areas, the team will need to split 2 left, 1 middle, 2 right.

* The two on the left and the right will need to decide on roles. 1 person will need to grab and hold aggro and the second person will need to focus solely on closing rifts and saving the liberated borg ships.

* The one person in the middle should be in a carrier, let their pets deal with the aggro while they focus solely on freeing ships.

During the 3rd phase when the Voth show up there will be Voth Borg Killer frigates that shoot Borg Killer Torpedoes. there are a few ways to deal with this:

* Kill the Borg Killer Ship quickly

* Fly directly into the torpedo to destroy it

* Use Tractor Beam Repulsors with the reversal doff to pull the torpedoes to you (it's get destroyed when it impacts your ship).

* If you can free the liberated borg ships fast enough, ignore the borg killer torpedoes. at this point they can help you against the normal bad borg.

Last phase with the 3 dreadnoughts:

* Bring the Voth dread health down to very low (5-10%) then switch to the Undine Dread.

* Constantly use Grav Wells and TBR pulls to keep the Undine dread near the other dreads, it will try and run away, if you don't CC it then you will find it sitting 30KM away laughing at you.

* Kill the Undine, switch back to finish off the Voth, the focus the Queen.

#Protips if you have aggro while trying to rescue:

* Attack Pattern Expertise will grant temporary HP, taking damage to these temp points will not interrupt a rescue interaction.
* Rock and Roll, the barrel roll has the same duration as the rescue interaction and you can start the rescue while rolling.
* Intel Team will shed aggro and give you a temporary battle cloak allowing you to rescue.

With the above abilities you should be able to solo a side without having to be in a carrier.

##Additional Tips:

* The cooperative ships will respawn 20 seconds after you free the previous ships. They will not respawn if one of them gets reconnected.
* The Undine Rifts show up every other cooperative spawn.
* if you double up Intel Team (so that you have a 15s cooldown) you should be able to free ships while in the middle of combat.
* Enemy NPCs only respawn after you have killed the previous enemy spawn. You can use TBR to push (and stun) a couple of enemies away from the cooperative ship spawn and never see any NPC respawns again.

##Rewards:

* The bulk of the points you get from this mission is from rescuing ships. more points = more marks. For a bigger marks reward focus on rescuing ships every 20s.
* you will still get a R&D package and marks reward even if you fail to kill any dreadnoughts at the end. It works like FFA and NWS, you will get rewarded for any points you have accrued so far.
