Hi all,

I don't understand this "Encryption error" mission in the Ker'rat system. It seems to be a fleet action. The textbox told me to scan the Borg nodes, I scanned a few of them, other feds did too. Then the second objective was to destroy four cubes. They are tough so my teammates and I died and at respawn points we were killed endlessly by 4 +35 ships camping the spot :D

Is it some kind of PVP map ? What am I supposed to do there ? Why do we have to fight +35 ships in a lvl 10 mission ?

    Delazure I attempted to complete the same mission last night and was also stymied. There is a PvP element to it in that Klingon players can enter the mission with a different set of objectives. But the issue you raised about the NPC ships is valid. The other thing is that some players kept warning others that the mission was bugged. The second part asks the Fed players to destroy four Borg "repair hulks." But if players happen to kill any of the repair hubs (which the Klingons are targeting I think) then the mission cannot be completed by the Feds.

    The few groups I played with last night weren't able to either survive the Borg onslaught, or some one kept killing hubs and breaking the mission. I'm going to try it again today. Hopefully I'll find a disciplined group that can coordinate they're efforts.

    OK I retried a few times and here is what I understood :

    1) This is definitely a PVP map, I got pwnzed by +XX Klingons ships many times. One of them decided to spare my n00biranda though so I was able to respawn and continue the mission :D

    2) I believe the bug is this : if a player destroys a hub, you can still kill the tactical cubes but after that the mission is over and you never see the repair hubs. If this is correct, I suggest we crucify the designer :D
    If I'm a griefer I just enter the map, blow up a hub and see all the other feds QQ !
