"A Step Between Stars" Bug

darthwoodarthwoo Member Posts: 371 Arc User
It seems that at some point the ability of the two allied faction flagships that come to assist you at the last act of Step Between Stars to fight back was removed. This, along with the random deselection of personal traits that always accompanies piloting a mission-specific ship, with the inability to reselect them while in the mission, has rendered the mission nearly unable to be completed, at least within any reasonable time. I had played this mission on all my original characters and never had a problem, but now the Dyson vessel is seemingly too brittle to fight on its own without the assistance of the useless allied flagships. I'm still trying even at this point, but I've been fighting the same two dreadnoughts for the past half hour, and will probably have to abandon the mission soon.,

    I had a run where the Llieset decided to take a breather for the entire round... Koren stayed in with me being an agro magnet...

    What I wound up doing:

    1. Spam most/all offensive powers. Non stop. This includes the chain lightning and "shield distribution beam" that drains enemy shields and gives it to all allies within 5km of the victim. Be in Tactical mode while doing so (if Koren's aggroing, FBP III is of no use, so the cannons and CRF III that only affects them is better than nothing...)

    2. If Koren's not in aggro mode, do your darndest to survive - chain (don't spam) your heals, be in science mode, maybe SA yourself for enhanced heals, and plink away with GW I / FBP III as often as possible till at least one dies - then it's a lot "fairer" for you...
    Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

    Ancient bug. I get the on half my plays of the mission.
    And if only it was just the Romulan ally that took a breather, for me it's always both ally ships. It makes it near on impossible. It can be done, but it took me nearly half an hour.
    Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.
