Borg DSEs too short.

I was pretty dissapointed when I entered my first Borg DSE just to find that it was over in less than a minute. What's the point? Why not just give us all free skillpoints and merits and save us the trouble from even having to load into the encounter?


What's everyone's thoughts on this specific encounter? Too short, easy, or fine the way it is? Any suggestions on how to improve the experience?



- There needs to be more than two Borg Deep Space Encounters. I'm sure more will open up as more people enter the Omega sector but right now having 20+ players in a single encounter takes the fun out of it.

- The kill count needs to be increased. Six groups is way too small for the amount of players in each encounter. In some cases the encounter is already completed by the time I fly to the nearest Borg ship. The kill count should be scaled to how many players are allowed in each encounter.

- Limit the amount of players per encounter or adjust instance availability and kill count accordingly. I'm all for large scale battles (starbase 24 comes to mind) but this is just a slaughter.

    Limiting the amount of players in the instance would be sufficient.

    10 would be quite fine with the current 6 squads to kill but the major issue is the fact Cryptic need to increase the difficulty of Borg ships either to match the fact 20 ADMIRALS in heavily armed T5 ships or whatever amount of ships they lower it too.

    The Borg do need a significant beefing up though. Cubes should only be found as the flagship and they should be enough to take on 5 players on their own. As it is, cubes die far too easily to just one person and it makes Endgame even more boring because there isnt even enough of a challenge you get at lower levels.

    I think the borg enemy encounters was just an easy oversight on their part, all the others are limited to 5 people per instance but that was a manual change they most likely just forgot to impliment to borg encounters as well.
