PUG solution for Exploration and Empire Defence missions

Okay, so in my experience playing Empire Defence as KDF, and exploration clusters as Fed and KDF, I've found both to be overly solitary. It's very hard to get a PUG going for them. So my proposal? Use a variant of the current PvP system to provide PUG teams for the existing content.

So, you'd warp into a particular expanse and see a Federation or Klingon space station. Contacting it [or beaming down - perhaps a vendor could be placed here?] brings up an option to join a queue to be auto-placed in a team mission. You'd still be able to solo the same old way, but now there's a much easier way to get into teams. When there are 5 people ready or a set amount of time has passed the group is then sent off into the mission.

Anyone else want to see this? Would really help remove the loneliness a lot of the content suffers from.

    Seconded, making Empire Defense open team missions would really help.

    They could really do with some variety in them too - same map, same ships, same tactics, and same spawn points for half a rank gets really boring....

    Could be done by having the sector block item for the Kahless [etc] Expanse go straight into an instanced encounter rather than giving the player this big block to fly around in and find solo instances. That way you funnel people into multi-player environments.

    Agreed - the Empire Defense missions would be better even if you changed nothing but switching them to open missions
