Devil's Choice End Space Battle

There was a thread about this already, but to avoid being accused of "necro-posting", I started this one. I don't agree with that silly label because if a thread is still on a forum and hasn't been locked, it is fair game. Either lock or delete threads if you don't want people posting to them.

Anyway, the other thread talked about how super difficult this mission was for Romulans, people dying dozens of times and taking hours to finish. I was not looking forward to doing it after reading this.

Funny thing is, I did it without dying once and not even losing over half my hull and the whole battle was done in about 10 minutes. Now I'm no STO whiz by any means and I think a couple of things may have made a difference:

1) I was perhaps a higher level when I took the mission because I leveled a lot, especially during double-xp events and so had not reached the mission level I should have been. My Romulan was 52 when I took it.

2) The ship I used was probably a big factor: T'varo Light Warbird Retrofit. I was outfitted with 3 plasma torpedoes and 3 plasma mine launchers. I just battle cloaked when the thing started (they drop you directly into the middle so you're an instant target). I used heals and maneuvers to get the heck out as fast as possible and cloaked. I would then sneak around the outer perimeter launching torpedoes while cloaked and sometimes run into the fray and drop a ton of mines and run away. I would also call in support ships, cloak again and wait.

Perhaps the mission has been modified since that other post but knowing the nature of how things get fixed, I doubt it. My advise, if you have a T'varo, use that for the mission.
