Is it true the Feds can win the Kerrat War Zone mission by shooting HULKS, not HUBS?

No matter how many times people say to destroy the HULKS, not HUBS, there are always people who are targeting the HUBS.


Is this true? I have yet to see a HULK.

    They would want to get of the couch and tell us. This is a serious flaw that has people going mad in the game. If it turns out its only because it was mis wrote or something at least tell us so we can somehow complete the mission. Missions with the borg are meant to be class something you tell others online about not for getting your head melted

    right, see, i have gone around this map and i have never, ever seen anything described as a HULK? only repair hubs and encryption nodes.

    so, if there are HULKS, where are they? and if there are some, why the hell does shooting HUBS credit a kill of a HULK?

    however, i've stil not seen a HULK and i'm sure this is just some myth going around trying to get more people to waste their life on this stupid mission.

    There's an 8 page thread about this already. http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?t=92750

    Nobody knows for sure what the hulks are, but everyone knows they are not the hubs. If you are shooting the hubs, you are doing it wrong.

    So why did i have the "mission complete" message after someone took down 4 hubs ?
    we were at 3/4 repair hulks, hub down, then 4/4...

    In beta what are now "Repair Hubs" were definitely labeled "Repair Hulks".

    I played as a Klingon yesterday and did win my mission by killing 4 "Repair Hubs" before the Feds could accomplish their objective.

    My objectives updated with a destroyed "Repair Hulk" with each "Repair Hub" that I destroyed.

    I do not have any mission sending me there but I do get the pop-up stating how "Klingons are awesome blah blah blah" and that I won when I kill the 4 constructs labeled as "Repair Hubs" in order to recover some tech from their wreckage.

    It is easy for me to verify this as I am usually the only Klingon..

    From what I've read, I get the impression that's to tell you how close the Klingon side is to winning. If the Federation players destroy them (or let the klingons destroy them), they loose.

    My understanding is that the repair hulks warp into the sector after you have destroyed several borg cubes. The repair hubs that are displayed in the fed screen are their so they know how many they still have intact. It's true the klingons mission is to destroy the 4 repair hubs.

    What makes it tough for everyone is these are not clearly stated in the mission objectives. Perhaps more detail given at the start of the mission would avoid the chaos this mission brings out in everyone.

    Plus when I played it, it seems people dont know how to realize they are being pmed cause the info scrolls to quickly in the lower left screen for them to see it when we warned them about not attacking the hubs.

    And one final note. Once as a federation ship I was on the klingon side and all the feds were against me. Someone care to explain that?

    Yes, and to kill 4 tactical cubes as well. But it just needs one hub killed by a fed and the mission cant be completed anymore.
