Borg deep space scams?

Okay, so I'm gonna get somethin off my chest.

I fly a cruiser and everytime I do one of these encounters I get trailed by a couple of escorts.
They hang back as I take on a target and after I've worked the target over and taken down their shields, these guys swoop in and finish off the target and get the drops.

No help whatsoever while I'm being hammered mind you, just a swoop in for the kill and claim the rewards.
I've been defeated a few times half expecting them to swoop in and help out when I get overwhelmed, but again, they hang back and take over as I go critical on the verge of defeat and have to retreat to build up shields.

I purposefully will target a cube on it's lonesome to test my abilities, or weapon's configurations and end up gettin "help" when I DON'T need it and ignored when I DO.................

What's the fun in this? Is this the way "teaming" on STO works?

Klingon's on the other hand will at least throw you an extend shield or somethin. More often than not.

One more thing too, I've also noticed that a few people will invite you to "join a team" then you get that damned need or greed thing everytime I defeat a target and I end up not gettin any of the drops, regardless of what I vote. How does that system work anyway? Who assigns the drops to whom in the situation?
And how can someone do this AND contribute fairly to earn some of the spoils?
If I defeat a target, I should get that drop....period. Especially if everyone is off targeting their own probe or sphere or whatever and didn't contribute to the victory over that particular target.

Has anyone else noticed this? Or is it just me?
