Ancient Power Cell

I have read the wiki looked every thing up. Played the missions and I still can't find a darn Ancient power cell! All of my rep for delta are needing them the only way I have ever got them is thru the rare drop from those boxes you get from the systrem when you compleate those Xp projects.
I know you can get them from the PvE Que but as we all know those have just about been put up for the firing squad and will end up like the PvP ques all the missions that supply them are dead I would try to solo them but as a science officer I can't really pump out DPS so I knew trying to solo one would be futile also they are elite that doesn't fix much. So does anyone know a way to get them that is still living?
Exploration needs to return!

    The only way I have found to get them reliably is from Kobali Prime.

    There is a computer console just outside the building the general is in... it allows for mission replay.

    Go to Act III, and take missions Last Stand, and Break the Wall (i think that's the name).

    Then go to the transporter platform, and go to the upper hillside base.

    I play a science officer too, it isn't easy, and you may respawn a couple of times.. but it is possible to get two every day from those.

    Oh.. and with the Break the Wall mission, the one where you have to hold the choke points...

    If you get there and there are Kobali soldiers already guarding.. change instance to one with lower player count... it will allow you to start the mission.


    Hope this helps :)

    The last time I did those missions, it was with a group, which makes it a lot easier. (This was about a week ago, so people are still running them.)

    Thanks! I wasn't sure what missions those were... I'm not currently grinding for Ancient Power Cells, but I will eventually.

    It is the last two parts of the adventure arc.

    Last part is much easier to do if there is another person doing it at same time, but quite doable even if alone.

    "Breaking the Wall" - with the associated open mission "At The Gates"...
    "With Our Last Breath" - with the associated open mission "The Last Stand"...

    Somebody needs the mission to have the open mission. So if you're there, but there's no open mission - case of heading back to the replay console and hitting up Act III as mentioned. Usually will grab it anyway before heading out, cause you're doing the open mission anyway - yeah?

    Heh, I suck bad at Ground, and even with some gear I'll die more times doing The Last Stand in a run than I will in Space for a year. It's pretty epic fun...definitely goes much smoother with somebody else there. It's likely my BOFFs, I think they aggro mobs from other instances that hop over to bury me.

    If you run into one where somebody's bailed on The Last Stand where there are a bazillion Vaadwaur at the first part, I'd just switch instances...cause that can be pretty hectic even with a group...or maybe not, Ground's just not my thing even with all sorts of goofy Rep/Lobi/Lock Box gear including Traits...I just get stomped by myself; but eventually muddle through to get the APC without having to hit a queue.
