    Who's gonna be the first to solo this beast???

    That would take a while of powercreep (if at all possible) given the Implacable's huge HP, high HP regeneration and high resists.

    -- Yeah, tried it with a few Teams. It is a bit nuts.. though thats an understatement. Having the Benthans part already be so buggy, for a lack of a better word, really adds to its glitchiness. I think some tweak or balance issues is surely pointed & peak'd to be addressed. The sort of build and team you would need to even get past the 1st part is in such a low % it'll turn allot games away.. and thats bad. Thats something a Game or Development team never wants todo. I see some people mentioned a less scaled version, thats possible. But whatever the reason, you never want to "break" your game. The Benthans section should also be patch. From the Live Chat, when asked about this, it doesnt seem intentional.
    My primary complaint still remains, as one of only 3 PVE to obtain Delta marks, it now severely limits a players ability to progress the Delta Alliance Reputation, dropping available PVE for Delta to just 2 now. I am all for tougher fights, but they either need to scale back the amount of mobs or as was mentioned earlier in the thread, add a normal and advanced version, and leave the elite as is for high end DPS players. (Kobali Front doesn't count, considering you get **** mark rewards)
    P.S. Aslo, rewards from Tholian and Borg RAs' don't count either, considering after the daily, you get 10 marks per run, not worth the effort in relation to progressing the rep.

    -- Tru.. some of the Major Mark Sources are quite limited for certain Rep Faction. This also should be addressed. Some Ques also reward to few Marks for the time it takes to beat them. Maybe the Iconian/Sphere PvE ? Not sure. Anyway.. hope non of this is "ignored" by the Team.

    I've done three PUG runs and all fails. Sad really... We used to have a very nice elite community [channel] going back in the day. Nonetheless I still have hope... I have also dropped in on full of fail TRA and BRA.

    However yesterday I had something happen I never thought was possible. We beat the TRA in about 45 seconds flat... I thought I was all ultra bad TRIBBLE zipping to the two groups on the far left behind the capital group. Unknown to me at the time another player grabbed the one group from the far right flank. We burned the two groups down in about 30 seconds in an interlocking maelstrom of death and mayhem. Then we turned as we passed each other towards the capitals and blamo - mission reward!!!!! It seems everyone of us went to a different group from the jump and burned them all rapidly with the two guys on the forward groups (both Scimitars) melting the capital ships... It was nothing short of a pure unadulterated double dipped awesome sauce shake and bake run!

    Oddly I commented the day before to a friend about doing the BRA in about 90 seconds and I never though that was possible either. Things which make you go hmmmm......

    The difficulty for Korfez right now is just about right for a space Elite.

    I think this should get a normal and advanced version for those that cannot complete the Elite version. As it is now, it's a proper Elite and should be left alone IMO.

    I remember back in the day when I didn't have high level or quality gear and only had my Mercury Pilot Escort I did poorly when playing Korfez, then evetually I got more ships and better gear and finally started to do decently in it. Now due to the difficulty increase I seem to do worse than when I first did it despite having better gear and skill now.
