I dont know if you got to this mission, but its the one in Romulan space, where you beam down to caverns and fight off Reman soldiers who are trying to mine another races planet. The missions is good until you have to get to the part - Defeat Stragglers. I tried but they are strong... and theres a number of em. I died the first attempt and had to respawn at the beginning of the map! WAY WAY WAY Far away. The mini map also resets so you dont know where the cavern exits and enters until you get there.

Another problem I ran into is my Away team keeps clipping and getting lost. After walking through a cavern I have to stop and wait for the rest of the team which may be as far as 15 - 30 m away. Any fix for this?

THe main problem Im having is when I got back to The Stragglers ... they were hard... got the last guy and then BOOM 6 - 8 more guys just materialized. My team was already at like half strangth and outnumbers... we llost in a min after that.

Any tips? Why is this Exploration level so hard?

    I cant do it... This is THE HARDEST MISSION I EVER PLAYED.

    ReSpawned and Tried it for a 3rd time... there must of been like 10 - 20. Withhin a min we were all gone. I put up everything.... Shield... Turret (which blows up so fast cause of so many enemries), shield wall,... nothing... Dead in less than 60 sec.

    How can there be so many enemies....

    IS this a bug - Both Map Spawn Location (other side of map) & SUPER hard group of Stragglers - for a exploration mission I didnt think it was going to be this hard. Im only gonna get about 100 Skill pts to complete this and 2 other explore system missions.

    I thnk this is because the group you attack at the end is made up of Reman elites and one of their special abilities is to create shadow clones of members of the squad so you suddenly get double the number you originally ran in to.

    I just dropped the mission after being wiped 4 times. Add in that the respawn point is way back at the beginning of the map and it is just too annoying to do the run back every time.

    I think it is a bug in that the squad is too high a level for the map and they are able to use the special ability too many time.

    Is there a specific guy I should attack and eliminate first?

    As soon as I engage these forces... I use my exploit (Sniper rifle) setup a phaser turret, shield generator (which both are taken out pretty fast) and about 10 - 20 seconds my whole team is gone. Its really hard. I can bearly see em cause the cavern is at a angle.

    It's the hardest exploration mission I've played yet (Cmdr 8 currently).

    I tried the final fight from different angles and so on, and eventually it worked, but that's a tough firefight.

    That just increases the strength of the spawns.
