ISE beaten... This time in T1 ships

A little while ago, the Ausmonauts beat Infected Space in shuttles.

Reception to that ranged from positive to unconvinced. "Anyone can do that. I'd be impressed if you did ISE."

Ok. Challenge Accepted.

ISE in T1 ships. Done.

Pretty sure we can manage shuttles next...

    Assume it took a fair while though?

    Awesome job. Cryptic should be encouraged by efforts like this by adding a feature akin to challenge modes (from another MMO) - the community could then run against your time etc I think a special accolade, a title and perhaps something special like a bonus mission (like the one in Eta Eridani from collecting 10 drops from the daily) could be rewarded too.

    also then there would be some use for our old ships

    Was so much fun! And yes, a title and accolade would be very nice.

    Btw, if anyone should see a warp core floating around in ISE, could you please return it to my ship :P

    yes it may take time but it is fun. In January of this year, myself and 4 other captains decided to do The Cure Space Normal in small ships. The team included 1 NX light escort, 2 Constitution class cruisers, 1 KDF DujHod Chariot and 1 Tal'Kyr Support Craft. Yes it did take a while to do, but in the end we won. I will say this. If you ever have the time and the people to do it, give it a try. It is a lot of fun.

    Congrats to the Ausmonauts on their success with Infected Space Elite. That must have been a blast. Good luck on your shuttle mission version.

    Infected Space - Elite, an STF mission for 5 players that involves much shooting of the Borg.

    It's not that they're too easy, it's that you're not looking at a PUG of New players, nor a group of low-average players, but a TEAM of VERY skilled players there, who work together well and probably have good commo going.
    .

    optional win or not .... for "shuttles" there is no way to bring the generator in the short time down to win optional, the point is you have shown how nuuby the missions are if you do it with normal ships in ~5-6 min where is the challenge;)

    and you show that it can be done with shuttles what have 1-2 weapons.:D

    Good luck doing ISE with shuttles. Seen a youtube vid of a group doing ISN (Infected Space Normal) in shuttles, looked pretty cool, well thought out too with good comms that you could hear.
    Be interesting to see a group do ISE in shuttles so good luck :D


    Edit: It was an Ausmonauts vid, so good luck to you on the Elite

    Would be interesting to see if you could do a cure space normal, with 4 shuttles and a T1 ship.

    Oddly enough, we think Shuttles could be easier, as the Delta Flyer's hull strength scales to the player's rank. At Vice Admiral, it's got more hit points than our Constitutions and Mirandas. Two weapons would be sufficient, assuming we used all buffs and debuffs available to us in combination with the gravitic anchor and tricobalt spam.

    The optional however, is basically impossible, as it requires the tactical cube to be destroyed within 15 minutes of the mission start. Shuttles and T1 ships simply don't have the damage potential to pull that off.
