New missions need epic endings

Two of the new RA missions, Assimilated and (I think) A Light in the Dark, have very epic endings. I know this was mentioned when they were on Tribble.

Without giving too much away, both missions end with a large explosion that you have to be clear of quickly. Instead of a daring escape, we teleport out into sector space. I think it would be well worth it to have more to this ending to give people that "WHOA." It helps kindle interest in the story and future missions!

    I was a little let down by escaping the exploding borg cube by transitioning to the Sector space map..

    But - I have to say I really liked the choice at the end of the Borg/Romulan mission. The three choice option mechanically probably didn't change the end-encounter much, but it was really nice to feel in command and get to choose a course of action.

    1- Cover the Romulan ship as it recovers to flee.
    2- Steal the Borg technology from the Romulans via transporter.
    3- State that Borg tech in Romulan hands is too dangerous and can't be allowed.

    Heh, my own choice was to steal it. On first impulse, being buddy-buddy with Romulans in the face of the Borg considering what goodwill might have emerged from the situation sounded good... but I couldn't shake off how coldly the Romulan captain had shooed me away after I had folded backward in two to save her.The romulan storyarc was clear on how Borg tech in Romulan hands could be a bad thing. Stealing it, in a way, was a bit of an homage to the TOS episode "The Enterprise Incident" - it felt like the most Kirk-ish "up in your face" action.

    The other thing mission from those missions are mission rewards, really. For example: If I decided to steal borg tech from the Mogai escort, it might've been nice to see something for my actions.
