Romulan Tier 4 - Underground Ruin Feedback

Cutscene with D'Tan:
Liked the dialogue and the two discoveries revealed in it. But felt the volume was down too low, the music easily overwhelmed it. So you have to play with music turned off to hear them.
Underground Ruins:
The Ruins is in a Volcano, then why doesn't the outside reflect this? Vastam Peaks seems more like a Volcanic zone than the Ruins. Or you trying to go for more or a Yellowstone feel?
Inside, don't get why we got Romulanesque architecture. Is it from the First Romulan Settlers? Or did the Romulans took inspriation from it?
BOFF EV Suits:
While it said you needed EV Suits, I only had 1 spare with my BOFFs and used to keep the medic on hand while the others died off. Be nice if Cryptic provided somekind of EV Storage than taking up precious inventory space.
Final Room - Uncompletable:
Got to the final room and while reading the dialogue, I was attacked by the Tholians (people like to read dialogue the first time), and after the battle was over, I was stuck. I couldn't do a single thing except kill a infinitely spawning Tholian group.
So Cryptic really dropped the ball here.
Overall Score: C
1) Needs a better storyline than shoot things up.
2) Revise it so you don't attack until you understand what to do.
Before the Tholians attacked me, I caught a glimpse mentioning consoles, but not sure what to do with it. There was no interactable consoles after the fighting was done. So this needs to be improved.

you have to keep 2 of the 4 consoles working. you have 3 minutes to defend the room from attacks. one console at a time will flash and needs looking at.
once the 3 minutes are up, the boss should spawn and then you defeat it.
the problem i had is after killing the boss, it took 2-3 minutes for the final dialogue to appear. i almost left thinking it was broken. i had to start moving towards the exit, back the way i had came for it to appear.
Are you sure were playing the same game?
... how about a second "armour" slot on our character dolls devoted solely to Environment Suits or similar? Whilst some of the higher-end Nukara stuff can be quite good, I wouldn't replace my standard armor with it for regular PvE/PvP... so there shouldn't be any worries about players hot-swapping outfits. Just allow us to store a suit on the doll "inactive" but ready to deploy without taking up room in inventory. Especially if we're likely to get more of this sort of mission.
Alternatively, just auto-suit the BOFFs in standard EV suits (the same way my Quantum Duplicates get the plain white suits whilst I'm in the Crsytalline Shell version).
But a separate slot for env suits would be useful. For the player anyway.
Only bug I encountered in the mission was having to approach the exit of the boss room for the mission complete to trigger.
Set BOs on passive. Let them do the work (if your BOs have proper SKills, you have to do nothing in that fight (sad, isnt it?). Look on the mini-screens.
Suits are free in "Boldly the road" at starting point.
