Should I even bother with the Crystalline Entity quest?

I'm not in a fleet, and from what I hear, the CE quest is damn near impossible with a pickup group. Should I even bother? Is there some great quest reward that will make this worth my time?

    I just looked at the quest rewards. It's a mark III kit, and I already have a mark IV kit.

    What's funny is that in Beta people complained it was too easy. People could just mine / ram it to death, and it would be over in seconds.

    People complained, and it was changed. I can literally see in my head a DEV in his office redesigning this, wringing his hands and laughing manically. "Too easy is it? I'll show you, I'll show all of you! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA...."

    People are now complaining about the game being too easy, which is why I'm leveling all three classes to max level as soon as I can.

    Because the DEVs will give you what you want, unfortunately for all of us.

    MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA....!

    Not worth your time... and yes it is near impossible now without at least 10 ships (of which most should be high levels).

    I think you can get more drops just by doing SB 24 fleet action and you won't have to worry about crystalline shards chasing after you. :D

    I had no real problems completing that mission. I died once respawned and then it died.

    However, seeing as I have no idea who else was with me at the time they could have been high levels coming back to do it. If so, I thank them for making it look so easy rofl. If not, guess we were lucky that day.

    I still haven't done that quest, any my guy is around Capt 5. I started a new science character, and I'll skip that mission when I get it again.

    It was a challenge for me to complete, and I had about 10-15 other player there with me. Most of us, including myself, had no idea what to do. Once everyone started listening to the experienced captains the CE was destroyed rather quickly. It was nice to complete if only to say I'd done it.

    I still have it in my quest log at Adm 5. Now and then i feel massochistic enough to go and try it, but it never ends well. I'm too stubborn to abandon it though.
