Reward looks interesting, but i wish there was an option to go past 7 rounds to see if people actually learned how to use those fancy new ground toys we got last year.
Edit: One thing which eludes me is if this Sompek Energy rebounder is a kit or kit module. It feels like a kit module, but it is described as a kit.

This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

We've had too much of that recently and it's turned ground missions into boring content where you might as well just look at the screen until armies of assimilated enemies, escorts, moving turrets and the like finish the content.
Especially cause most new content takes place on small maps where players have to remain in the same location for a long time.
It's the reason why i like the plasma turret from the colony.
While it is a 360 degree blast, it is a blast with the range of a shotgun so one has to be strategic where to put it.

Kirk would << banned word >> the Cryptic servers to get the version he wants to play
Sorry, you have that totally backwards for this event....It's the Kobayashi that loves crowding the enemies like a moth to the flames!
I still remember the OLD Kobayashi Maru. Dear god there were so many ships. And we didn't have all the fancy toys we have today. Best we had was T5 ships. Took my fleet many tries.
When we finally did it, it took 3 Wells, 1 Xindi-Reptilian, and 1 Vesta.
I prefer Sompek. You can have bad luck there too, like getting Tholians and their immobilising drones during a lightning round. But at least if you fail there (outside of events) it isn't because of the behaviour of some third party that is outside the players' control.
For ground this is the engineer I'm going to start with. She is AoE-ish yes. This toon as equipped was a lot of fun while playing Forged in Fire during the last event so will try it in Sompek.
Might add a remodulator or just carry a TR-116B as a secondary weapon in case the Borg show up.
Kit modules from left to right:
1. Crystal Prism -previous event reward
2. Anchor of Gre'thor - winter event store (needs 15 each Xmas Ornaments)
3. Gravity Containment Unit - Dsc Reputation. Pull the bad guys into your minefield lol... love this kit module
4. Chain Conduit Capacitor - exchange. Very nice and has a short cooldown. Chains to multiple targets
5. Chroniton Mine Barrier - crafted. Cyro Mine Barrier from Winter event store good also.
6. Ambush Turret - exchange. Really nice high output turret with a short cooldown.
Lots of Large Kit Overboosters (crafted) spam them
Easy to get kit modules like a Mortar and Turret work well too. Also had good luck with an Explosive Drone.
Some more ideas here and here.
Now that is what I like to see; a damn find ground build, with a screenshot to boot, and extra links for even more ideas. Seeing as this will be my very first event like this, this is gonna be most useful I am sure. Good job @protoneous! Keep up the good work...
Peace...

It's from 2018 so a bit outdated, but what is important is following the lines of thought for survival.
With that the basic setup can be easily achieved.
Sompek is as much about knowing the strength/weakness from you opponents as it is about survival tactics and throwing out loads of damage.
Two quick examples:
First:the borg adapt to energy weapons, but not to physical damage.
Secondly: Tholians get healed by radiation damage so beware which weapons/kit modules do radiation damage.
It's very frustrating if you take the mission goal seriously. Since the captain is a suicidal moron it's almost impossible to meet the goal of keeping the eggshell maru from reaching minimum health.
I don't do it, but I fully understand people wanting to AFK. I won't be surprised to see my teams filled with jellyfish if I'm playing it instead of the arena for an endeavor.
As for Sompek, I don't have a screenshot right now, but I'm either gonna run my Cryomancer Sci, Pyromancer Sci, or Drone Master Engie. Basically AoE spam or minion spam.
In fact it was a Sompek run years ago that inspired me to try Drone Master Engie as there were things flying around engaging things all over the map.
Peace...
Good point. I've never played in premade teams or co-op so there's never been a reason to try putting together a support build. In TFO PUGs a damage build (weapon or exotic/science) is the only one that makes sense.
Are we supposed to be getting accolades when we run through Arena of Sompek? Off-season (about 3 days ago), I was able to get the accolades and the emote for enduring 21 rounds and getting to round 23. Today, we're limited to 7 rounds.
I had one of my characters go through 3 runs, and she did not unlock the emote.
Is getting the accolades and the emote only possible off-season, outside of the event?
The ship survived with about 70% of her hit points. Probably because few attackers survived long enough to hit her much. (Fortunately, the PUG seemed to recognize that the Doomsday Machine is a hazard, not an opponent, and didn't waste time shooting at it.)
Yes everything is turned off during the event.
During the event, only the 7 round Sompek version is available and the regular version required for the accolades is not.
The reason Sompek only lasts 7 rounds during the event is because players regularly would organize to just clear the minimum number of rounds to get credit, then wipe. As a tradeoff, they have allowed access to Sompek year round without the limited rounds for those who wish to experience the FULL Sompek experience and work on titles, accolades, and getting the Sompek Dance.
