Another Big Dig rant

Big Dig...

My biggest problem with this fleet action? I'm a ship's captain, not a space marine.
Would Federation captains really be on the front line of a ground battle? That’s what the Big Dig is all about, ground battle. And yes, I have the same problem with other ground missions of the same type. If a captain were sent to a mission like this, they should be heading in the back door, using stealth, while the grunts do the ground pounding out front.

“It’s a fleet action; you have to suspend your disbelief.” Why? If you want it big enough to be fleet actions, then maybe we are caught coming in the back door, but we would NOT sit on an open field of battle exchanging phaser fire with the enemy. The monotonous ground pounding (with new enemies respawning constantaly) does not make for good Star Trek story. A good fight inside a structure were we have a decent storyline that keeps us from beaming out…something, anything other than being demoted to space marine.

    Solution: Park ship outside the planet, click "Beam Down Troops", wait five minutes, collect loots.

    Although I doubt Cryptic is going to implement that, despite it being more logical.
